Dr. Matthew Ashkettle, D.C.

Dr. Ashkettle was born and raised in Tuscarawas, OH, and was a three-sport athlete during his high school years. Throughout his high school career, he suffered many injuries, which is where he was first introduced to chiropractic care. The Town Chiropractor was the first choice of the community for health and wellness related issues, which at the time was not the norm. That is when the thought of becoming a chiropractor first entered his mind. Dr. Ashkettle went on to play baseball in college at Shawnee State University and in 1997 received his Business Degree. He was a four- year starter and was elected into the Athletic Hall of Fame for his success on the diamond. He attended Life University in Marietta, GA, and received his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2001. Dr. Ashkettle brings with him 17 years of chiropractic experience. He has practiced in Columbus, OH and is now practicing in Florence, SC.
