Meet Dr. David Martin

  • Dr.
    David Martin

    Dr. David Martin grew up in the Mat-Su Valley, graduating at the top of his class from Matanuska Christian School and went on to receive his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from UAA. Growing up in Alaska afforded Dr. Martin every opportunity to experience the outdoors at its best, and he has continued to pursue an active lifestyle through hunting, fishing, hiking, and playing various sports. His father, Dr. James Martin, provided the regular chiropractic care that enabled him to play sports all through high school and was especially beneficial after he suffered a low back disc herniation his first year of college. Dr. Martin decided to pursue chiropractic education because he wanted to help his community maintain an active, healthy lifestyle and he understood firsthand the healing effects of chiropractic.

    Dr. Martin earned his Doctor of Chiropractic and his Masters in Exercise and Sports Science in Portland at the University of Western States. While studying in Portland, he was able to work alongside experienced diplomats in the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians and treat athletes ranging from the high school varsity player to those in a semi-professional football league. Dr. Martin served on the medical team for the 2011 Dew Tour as well as working at various university clinics including a community outreach clinic for low-income patients in downtown Portland. He is currently the Team Physician for Boom Town Derby Dames, a roller derby team in the Mat-Su Valley, and has been working with them since 2013.

    He spent two summers volunteering at a children’s orphanage in Guatemala, and in 2008 Dr. Martin and his wife, Debbie, spent 5 weeks in Mexico helping at another orphanage. One of his future goals is to be able to continue his overseas trips and help better the lives of people who are truly in need. He began working with his father, Dr. James Martin at Valley Chiropractic Clinic in January 2012, and together they are busy providing a true, family centered practice for residents and visitors in the Mat-Su Valley. He and his wife are looking forward to raising their son Wyatt and daughter Kallie in the Mat-Su Valley and surrounding area and enjoying all Alaska has to offer. Dr. Martin is so blessed to be here and gives thanks to God every day for the opportunity to do what he loves with the people he loves.

Dr. James Martin and Dr. David Martin are doctors of chiropractic who serve Wasilla and the surrounding communities in Alaska.

Dr. James Martin and Dr. David Martin use chiropractic care to improve the health and wellness in all areas of patient's lives, whether they are having problems with back pain or neck pain, or just want to start feeling better when they wake up in the morning. Dr. James Martin and Dr. David Martin take a "whole person" approach in chiropractic care, which means looking for the underlying causes of disease, discomfort, and pain, as opposed to just treating the symptoms. Many seemingly unrelated symptoms often arise from imbalances in the spinal column, and they will be able to determine the root of the pain and create a personalized chiropractic and wellness plan to suit each patient's individual needs. Under the supervision and care of our caring and skilled doctors of chiropractic, patients report higher functioning in all areas of their lives.
