Real Health Chiropractic Clinic offers compassionate care to help return your body to the natural condition in which it heals best. Dr. ShaRhae Matousek started her clinic in 1999. She treats a broad range of patients including children, expecting mothers, casual athletes, and even members of the Twins and Vikings.
“My mother was passionate about natural health. I grew up even helping to bake granola in our local co-op. This lifestyle included chiropractic care as a foundation,” said Dr. Matousek. “I first received chiropractic care to help in healing an ear infection when I was only three years old. This continued in my life with sports injuries, a car accident and my three pregnancies. I experienced firsthand how chiropractic can help a wide range of health issues.
“I began to understand the science and the philosophy behind chiropractic while I was attending undergraduate school as a pre-med major. That is when I shadowed a local chiropractor who showed me just how much care and compassion go hand in hand with the profession. I knew I could do the most good for the most people by devoting my career to natural health with chiropractic. I also incorporate nutritional counseling, functional medicine and neurologic-based care into my treatment plans. Real Health offers other services like massage therapy and weight loss, and just added a lactation consultant.
“Everyone has multiple types of stress on their body at any given time. Treating each patient with an individual approach instead of a cookie-cutter model gives personal transformation to their health and is vital at Real Health Chiropractic. I take time to get to know each of my patients and learn what makes them unique and create a specific plan of healing. That has especially helped athletes, whose different sports and levels of skill mean they all need highly personalized types of care.
“In 2001, I earned the distinguished fellowship in pediatrics and obstetrics through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. This extra program of study onto my graduate degree has given me tremendous insight into pediatrics. I am certified in the Webster Technique which is commonly known in the birth world. We provide balancing of the pelvis and ligaments, which promotes optimal birth position. This makes pregnancy more comfortable for mom and babies.
“Being a mother of three has deepened my appreciation and knowledge in child development. I have utilized the same approach with my children as the patients in the office. As a family we believe in teaching physical activity as a lifestyle while incorporating chiropractic and nutrition. This has led to much involvement in travel sports and maximizing athletic performance through neurologic care. The evidence of this is found in my own family. Two of my children participate in college sports with one being a Division I athlete.
“Real Health Chiropractic is not just a clinic it is a family. Giving care not only to my patients but also to their children and even children’s children. My career becomes more rewarding every day. Some of the children I treated while I was first starting out are now bringing their own kids to Real Health Chiropractic. We have many families that we are treating three and four generations. Continuing to help families as they grow across generations is the best feeling a chiropractor could hope for.”
