Compassionate, credentialed care
Dr. Matthew Lau, DC
Doctor of Chiropractic
B.S. Human Biology, Northwestern Health Sciences University
Originally from Moorhead, Dr. Lau earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic and a B.S. in Human Biology from Northwestern Health Sciences University. He enjoys working with patients of all ages, including children and athletes, and brings a special interest in sports injuries.

Dr. Matthew Gilbertson, DC
Doctor of Chiropractic
Doctor of Chiropractic, Palmer College of Chiropractic
Dr. Matt Gilbertson and his wife were both born and raised in Moorhead. Matt is a 1989 graduate of Moorhead High School and went on to attend NDSU and then MSUM for his undergraduate studies before earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1995, where he specialized in the Gonstead technique. Matt's approach is simple: treat every patient like family and help them restore their health as quickly as possible. He believes strongly in caring for the whole person, not just spinal health. That philosophy led him to opening Downtown Health & Wellness in Moorhead, where the practice has expanded beyond chiropractic care to include the additional health services of a gym, and a spa.
