A Beautiful Beginning: The Story of Mathis Family Chiropractic
Every business has a beginning, but some beginnings are rooted in something deeper—faith, family, community, and the hope of making a positive impact. Mathis Family Chiropractic was born from all of these things.
Long before the doors opened at 102 W Hwy 20 in Stuart, NE, the dream of creating a family-centered chiropractic clinic grew quietly in the heart of Dr. Makala Mathis. She knew early on that she wanted to serve a small community—one where people still wave, where neighbors stop to check in, and where caring for one another isn’t just a motto…it’s a way of life.
A Calling to Serve
For Dr. Makala, chiropractic wasn’t simply a career choice—it was a calling. Through her years of training, she felt a deep pull to create a clinic that offered more than adjustments. She wanted a place where patients could feel understood. A place where families could find support. A place that felt like home.
That vision grew stronger with every class, every patient she helped during clinical rotations, and every realization that people deserve care that is both gentle and genuinely personal.
When the opportunity came to build a practice in Stuart, NE, the decision felt natural—almost meant to be. With small-town roots of her own, Dr. Makala understood the rhythm of these communities. She knew this was where she could build not just a practice, but a relationship with the people she served.
Building Something Special
Mathis Family Chiropractic officially opened its doors with one mission:
to support individuals and families through compassionate, personalized chiropractic care at every stage of life.
From prenatal moms to newborns, busy parents to hardworking ranchers, growing kids to active seniors—every patient who walks in is welcomed with kindness, patience, and the reminder that their health matters.
The office was designed intentionally: warm, simple, family-friendly, and rooted in the same values that inspired the clinic from the start.
Meet the Team Behind the Care
✨ Dr. Makala Mathis – Founder & Family Chiropractor
At the heart of the practice is Dr. Makala herself. Patients quickly notice her calm, caring presence and her ability to truly listen. She believes every person deserves a personalized plan—not a quick fix—and she takes time to explain everything clearly so patients feel confident and supported.
Her passion lies in:
Prenatal and postpartum care
Infant and pediatric chiropractic
Family wellness
Headache, low back, and neck pain relief
Gentle techniques for all ages
To Dr. Makala, being a chiropractor in a small town isn’t just a job. It’s a relationship. It’s trust. It’s the daily privilege of helping people feel their best so they can live fully and care for their families.
✨ The Mathis Family – The Heart and Inspiration
Behind every great practice is a support system, and for Dr. Makala, that’s her family. Their encouragement, steady belief, and shared values are woven into everything the clinic stands for—faith, honesty, service, and the importance of treating every patient like family.
✨ Community Partners & Support
As the practice grows, Mathis Family Chiropractic continues to build connections with local businesses, schools, and families who believe in supporting each other. This network is part of the team too—each person contributing to the shared mission of making the community healthier and stronger.
A Story That’s Still Being Written
The opening of Mathis Family Chiropractic was only the first chapter. Every patient who steps through the door becomes part of the story—each adjustment, each milestone, each moment of relief.
This clinic isn’t just a business.
It’s a dream brought to life.
