Breckenridge Chiropractic

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 30 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 badly; 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 improve people’s lives ever since!
