About Us
ACE CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC would like to invite you to our family of wonderful patients who have found vibrant health through chiropractic’s and acupuncture’s drug-free wellness approach to health care.
We urge you to read through all the information on our internet site. It will allow you to attain a more complete understanding of how to get the most of the life that is yours.
It is our experience that those patients who live a Chiropractic and Acupuncture Wellness Lifestyle are bound to increase their quality of life and actualize their true human potential.
We are dedicated to finding solutions to your problems and helping you live better now and in your future.
At ACE CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC, the main focus is on quality chiropractic care and acupuncture care for the entire family. Dedicated to offering a safe and completely natural form of health care to the whole family. For this reason Dr. Matsushita has chosen to focus his energy on creating a practice geared toward family wellness care.
There is something special about our office that you need to know before you visit us. We do not use canned treatment procedures like other doctors. While the current medical profession still deeply revolves around crises by using drugs and expensive surgeries as the answer, Wellness Care points the way toward a more comprehensive system of health care that heals the whole person by natural means.
Wellness care is not treating symptoms and diseases; it is individualized treatment designed to help you and your family reach your optimum health potential through improving nerve function, nutrition, stress management, environmental health, exercise physiology and life force “Qi” in balance.
Most of our patients come to our office for improved health and wellbeing, not only to treat a back or neck pain. Wellness is a very popular idea these days, but few people understand what wellness can mean to them.
Wellness has nothing to do with either prevention or medicine. You could prevent all disease known to man and still not be well. You could have every drug ever manufactured available to you and it would still not bring you wellness.
Wellness is a state of optimal wellbeing. Wellness is living your genetic potential. We invite you and your family to join us in an idea whose time has come!
New patients can expect to spend approximately one and half hour in our office at first visit. We will ask you for a comprehensive health history followed by a complete chiropractic examination with special interest on detection of underlying dysfunction on the nervous system. We use high-tech, noninvasive modalities such as thermography to assess nerve function. X-rays may also be taken if indicated.
On second visit, we will review our findings and recommend a treatment plan. We rarely treat an individual on the same day as the exam.
To offset the rising cost of today’s dwindling healthcare coverage, ACE CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC offers several payment options.
We work with our patients developing specific, customized programs to match their individual health care needs. Our services include Palmer chiropractic, Japanese style acupuncture and related physiothrapy.
We offer a number of chiropractic adjusting techniques and/or acupuncture techniques which are decided upon by the Doctor’s experience and patients preferences.

Asako Matsushita, LMT, CT, BA
I was a business woman who working in Tokyo after I graduated from university and achieved BA degree. One day I become a victim of auto accident and seriously injured. This incident was a turning point in my life, and my quest for best treatment start there. I went hospitals and clinics to see MD for medical treatment and physical therapy, but they didn’t work. I have tried various manual therapies and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in Japan, Reflexology in Taiwan and Rehabilitation Massage in hot spring in Germany. Finally I find Palmer Graduate Chiropractor in Japan and he help me a lot. This experience brought me here, USA, to study Chiropractic. I know “how hard to live with pain” therefore I want to help others.
