Dr.
Mathias M. Pastore, DC
Owner, Chiropractor
Dr. Mat Pastore grew up in Ocean County, New Jersey, where he went to
the same high school as his wife, Mary Anne. They have been married 26
years and live in Chester with their 2 sons, Collin and Eric.
Prior to beginning his
chiropractic studies, Dr. Mat spent 3 years as a
cadet in the United States Merchant Marine, at Fort Schuyler, in New
York. He, then, attended the oldest
Chiropractic college
in the world, Palmer College of Chiropractic, in Davenport, Iowa and graduated Summa
Cum Laude in 1991. He practiced for 2 years in Bucks County,
Pennsylvania, and then moved to Chester in 1993 to found
Breckenridge Chiropractic. He also completed a one year postgraduate certification
program in Sports Chiropractic, earning his C.C.S.P. (certified
chiropractic sports physician).
Dr.
Mat's interest in
chiropractic started many years ago when he was playing
soccer in a local men's league. He went up for a not-so-graceful head
ball and landed way wrong on his left knee. It hurt so bad, he thought
it was broken. The next morning he got out of bed and fell flat on his
face in tears from the pain. He went to the ER and sat there for two
hours, waiting. Finally, they told him it wasn't broken, sold him an ace
bandage and a pair of crutches, and sent him on his way. He couldn't
walk, he couldn't work and he was not happy! He doesn't know exactly
what motivated him to do it, but he called a local
chiropractor and
hobbled on over to see him. The
chiropractor did an exam, took some
x-rays, treated him, and he walked out of his office without the
crutches! He was amazed!
Shortly after that, while playing racquet ball with his best friend (who
had just started practicing as a
chiropractor), he made the decision to
change career paths and become a
chiropractor. He's been helping to
improve people's lives ever since!
Jennifer Hyatt Rosales
Office Manager
Jennifer grew up locally in the Richmond area. When she first started working in our office she didn’t know much about chiropractic. However, after learning about the many things it can help she sought treatment from Dr. Pastore for low back pain. She was amazed at how quickly she improved!
Jennifer now understands how to take care of herself and be able to live life to its fullest. A favorite part of her job is to see that change occur in so many of our patients’ lives as well.
She is here to make sure that all of our patients get the best care possible, and she is always available to answer any questions you may have.
Mary Anne Pastore
Marketing and Public
Relations Director
Mary Anne grew up on the Jersey Shore and went to high school with her
husband of 26 years, Dr. Mat Pastore. After attending a community
college for 2 years, she went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Business
Management at Kean College in Union, New Jersey.
She
moved to Davenport, Iowa with Dr. Mat while he attended
chiropractic
school and supported them while he pursued his dream. Upon graduation,
she worked with him in Pennsylvania as his Office Manager in his early
years of practice until the birth of their first son, Collin.
Shortly after Collin's birth, they moved their family to Chester and she
took some time off to raise their family. Their second son arrived 3 ½
years later and with 2 little boys to keep her busy, she became an
active member of the local Mom's Club and La Leche League.
Once the boys were in school full-time she came back on board as the
Marketing and Public Relations Director of the clinic. Her efforts are spent bringing community
awareness to the benefits of
chiropractic, through speaking engagements, health fairs, local articles and advertisements.
If you know of a group that would be interested in having one of our doctors
speak on the benefits of
chiropractic, or if you would like us to take
part in a Health Fair, feel free to contact Mary Anne at our office.
