Meet Dr. Matt Regalado

About me

My path to becoming a chiropractor began with a sports injury at age 20. One awkward landing during a soccer game changed everything. I went from being active every day to dealing with persistent knee pain that affected every step I took.

That experience showed me how life-changing an injury can be. It sparked a deep interest in understanding how the body moves and heals. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Cal State Northridge, where I also worked as a personal trainer to gain hands-on experience with movement and rehabilitation.

At Life Chiropractic College West, I found my calling. I graduated magna cum laude and served as president of the Applied Kinesiology Club. During that time, I focused on learning advanced chiropractic techniques and working with fellow students and athletes. A mentorship with a sports-focused chiropractor helped me see how powerful personalized treatment can be when it starts with a thorough assessment.

Why Here?

I am inspired every day by helping people in the Coachella Valley reconnect with what their bodies can do. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone return to the activities they love – whether that’s hiking the Santa Rosa Mountains, playing golf at one of our beautiful local courses, or simply enjoying an active lifestyle in our desert community.

For some patients, that means returning to their favorite Palm Desert hiking trails. For others, it means lifting their grandchild or simply waking up without discomfort. Every goal matters, and every patient deserves personalized attention.
