Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Matt Griswold, who serves patients in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Dr. Griswold is a chiropractor who is currently serving patients at 918 Chiropractic, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. From athletes to the elderly, Dr. Griswold and his team at 918 Chiropractic welcome patients of all ages “to live and feel better.”

Dr. Griswold was honored to be recognized in Oklahoma Magazine - Top Doctors Medical Issue (2013, 2014, and 2016). He was one of only four chiropractors chosen in the state.

After witnessing his mother suffer from back pain for years, Dr. Griswold planned to become a chiropractor. “Seeing someone you love in pain can really put things into perspective” he said. His mother had back surgery when he was 15 years old, but her pain persisted a few years later. “From that point on, I was on a search to find out how to keep people from such pains as my mother had” said Dr. Griswold.

Before he embarked on a career in chiropractic, Dr. Griswold grew up playing football in a small town in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, called Mountain View. He went on complete his studies at the University of Arkansas, where he was asked to be an Arkansas cheerleader. Although he had never ever thought of becoming a cheerleader, he was always impressed by the guys holding a girl in the air with only one arm. “So, I went for it” said Dr. Griswold. While cheering on the field, he was intrigued by how the structure of the human body affects function. This curiosity led him to complete his Bachelor of Science Education.

At college, Dr. Griswold discovered a career path that he loved. He also met his best friend and now-wife during freshman year. Immediately following his graduation from the University of Arkansas, Dr. Griswold attended Life University in Marietta, Georgia. After finishing the four years of required clinical coursework, he graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC).

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine mostly concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. As an expert in the field, Dr. Griswold is passionate about helping patients meet their goals and be the best possible version of themselves.

Dr. Griswold and his wife, Claire, are embracing life as a family with their two little girls. Dedicated to his patients and his family, Dr. Griswold looks forward to a bright future in Tulsa, helping the community one person at a time.
