24 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE & COUNTING…

“The insight and experience gained over a lifetime of sports-related injuries gives me a competitive edge in helping active people heal quickly from injury and effectively take back their lives.”

 Matt Fontaine

Dr. Fontaine is the author of Only One Body. This book is a stark wake-up call for all of us.  We are entrusted with ‘Only One Body,’ a truth often overlooked in our busy lives.

You can live a high-performance and active lifestyle, eat clean food, go to the gym, and exercise, or live recklessly and spend your time in the doctor’s office. 

The choice is yours now. You can pay now or later. 

Most of the time, most of us have the privilege of choice. The question is, will you choose well? And do you even know what choices are yours to make?

This book will help you to make better health and lifestyle choices with a practical and proven strategy for assembling the right healthcare team and improving health and performance. Dr. Fontaine provides a road map to optimal health and gives us guidance and permission to self-advocate, so that you can take charge of your life, make better health and lifestyle decisions, and know how to enlist your doctor's help when you need it.

Dr. Matt Fontaine has over 24 years of experience as a sports chiropractor. As a lifelong athlete, a career in sports medicine was his natural path, taking him to the pinnacles of professional sports. He served as a sports chiropractor in Major League Baseball and with the ART Ironman Triathlon Medical team.  He completed his residency at the prestigious Texas Back Institute.  With this extensive training and clinical experience, he is an expert at connecting the dots for his patients to accurately diagnose their conditions, putting a plan in place, and collaborating with the right healthcare team of providers to get the best patient outcomes.  He has spent the last decade-plus serving a patient community that includes the men and women of our Nation’s Armed Forces, Veterans, and other governmental agencies in northern Virginia.

His practice focuses on sports medicine, human performance, and rehabilitation for neuromusculoskeletal injuries.  Dr. Fontaine uses an integrative approach across multiple modalities rendering treatments in manipulative therapies, functional rehab and performance-based exercise.  His expertise includes an extensive collaborative network with both surgical and regenerative specialists for patients tat require a more integrated approach. He’s committed to excellence and values a patient-centric focus, consistently giving them the highest quality care possible.  `

He’s often quoted saying, “Patients have the right to be treated in their best interest, not based on what an insurance carrier deems ‘medically necessary.’”
