ASK THE DOCTOR Matt Driscoll
MATT DRISCOLL
For Dr. Matthew Driscoll, it’s all about giving people a healthy foundation of continual movement and support. As a former college athlete and father of two kids, he more than understands the importance of being injury free and mobile. He wants everyone to feel empowered to live and move as they want to, day after day, year after year.

“The worst kind of injury is the one that keeps coming back,” explains Dr. Driscoll. “I want to give people preventative care, but also a sense of how other effective health practices can positively impact their lifestyle. That way, people get a more comprehensive understanding of how they can help themselves outside my office.”
Dr. Driscoll received his undergraduate degree from St. John Fisher College and his Doctorate in Chiropractic from the New York Chiropractic College. He then interned at the Catalyst Health Group which lead to becoming an Associate Doctor, responsible for all aspects of care at Pittsford Performance Care, before then starting his own practice in Webster, NY. The care at Driscoll Chiropractic centers on what Dr. Driscoll considers the four pillars of a healthier lifestyle: movement, sleep, nutrition, and breathing, all advanced learning services in which he is constantly researching for . Dr. Driscoll also carries advanced training in Active Release Technique (ART), the gold
standard for soft tissue treatment, and Foundation Training, a series of exercises that promote behavior change in the way you move to correct any imbalances caused by modern, everyday habits. His is the only practice in upstate New York that offers Foundation Training, whereas before, patients would have to travel to Toronto, to find such assistance. The core of Dr. Driscoll’s success is simple: he listens to what people need. He utilizes a personalized approach for patient success and works together with his patients to set realistic goals. They don’t just get the standard office visit, they get homework.
“I want my patients to become active participants in their recovery, not just because it’s the best way, but it’s also the only way to achieve long term results they can live with.”
Dr. Driscoll’s dedication to wellness doesn’t stop with his patients. There’s an overall philosophy of positive change he wishes to extend to the Rochester community as well, and he reaches a wider audience as the host of his own podcast. “ROC Spotlight” features conversations with other professionals in the health and wellness space in Rochester. Dr. Driscoll sees it as a unique way to continually further his education, promote wellness to a wider community, and amplify the voices of the many area professionals all working to help people live their healthiest lives.
“The podcast has been such fun. You have to keep learning and build partnerships with people that keep you in check. I don’t ever want to feel too comfortable in my practice or in life because when you stop adapting, you’re not giving the best care or being your personal best for the people around you.”
When it comes to keeping himself centered, Dr. Driscoll turns to his wife, Kiersten, and their two daughters.
