Chiropractic For Smarties

An intelligent approach to modern day healthcare that just makes sense!

This book was written with one clear mission: to redefine how people understand their health. For too long, chiropractic care has been viewed narrowly—as a response to pain or injury. But true health is not reactive. It is proactive. Through clear explanations, relatable examples, and practical insight, Milford CT chiropractor Dr. Matthew Paterna shows how spinal alignment and nervous system balance affect every stage of life—from infancy through the senior years. Whether a parent seeking better health for their child, athletes optimize their performance and prevent injuries, or a senior looking to maintain independence, this book provides a foundational guide to the role chiropractic care can play in a healthier, more resilient life.

About The Author

Dr. Matthew Paterna’s life was changed by chiropractic care—and his mission is to share that transformation with others. After struggling with chronic pain and dangerous medication in his early 20s, one visit to a chiropractor set him on a path to not only reclaim his health, but to dedicate his life to helping others do the same—without drugs or surgery. A graduate of Loyola University and the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic, Dr. Paterna founded Shoreline Family Chiropractic in 2004 to serve patients of all ages through personalized, neurologically focused care. He has served as President and Chairman of the Connecticut Chiropractic Council, mentored young chiropractors. Dr. Paterna is a frequent speaker at national conferences. With postgraduate training in pediatric care, neurology, and sports chiropractic, Dr. Paterna brings clinical depth and a family-centered care approach to every chapter of this book.

His message is simple: Health begins with less pressure on the nervous system—and the sooner that journey begins, the better the outcome.
