Bio
Dr. Christopher Mattina was raised in Mahwah, New Jersey and has played a plethora of sports throughout his life. His passion for helping other began through guidance from his mother, an oncology-nurse for 25 years; cultivating him to always show empathy and honesty. His first interaction with chiropractic occurred after suffering a back injury while wrestling at age 16. Experiencing the ability to heal conservatively without surgery or pharmaceuticals lead him to continue competing in powerlifting. Through regular chiropractic care and excellent coaching, he was able to break a three-decade old NJ state record squatting 425lb at the 130 lb. weight class.
Dr Chris ventured to Connecticut where he lived during his undergraduate and doctorate training. He graduated from the University of Bridgeport with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science while working in the service/liquor industry, and training and competing regularly. After taking a short hiatus to help care for a sick family member, he applied and graduated in December of 2021 Summa Cum Laude with his Doctorate of Chiropractic It was during this time he was able to fine-tune his spinal manipulative therapy skills, as well as other therapeutic interventions such as soft tissue mobilization and Fascial Manipulation He has also completed continuous education in Rocktape’s Functional Movement Technique (FMT) and is eager to learn and continue to pursue various certifications in the field.
His background and education allow him to apply individualized, up-to-date treatment strategies focused on a ‘wholistic’ approach; focusing on nutrition, exercise, sleep quality, stress management and other psychosocial characteristics. In his free time, Dr. Chris enjoys lifting weights, hiking with his cats, practicing Jiu-jitsu, partaking in yoga, spending time with friends and family, cooking (and eating), and playing videogames.
