Our story

Service with a smile.

Our family has been in business here in Lafayette for more than 50 years, and I'm proud to carry that tradition forward alongside my dad, Dr. Mike. He opened this practice back in the 1970s, and now we get to work side by side as two generations of chiropractors under one roof.

Lafayette isn't just where we practice, it's our home. Over the years we've built lasting connections through patient care, local events, and community involvement, and that's something we both deeply value. Today we care for patients from all across Acadiana.

What makes our practice unique is the blend of experience and growth. My dad brings decades of wisdom and perspective, while I bring a constant drive for continued education and new approaches. Together we're always working toward the same goal: helping people feel and function better.

What our patients have to say

Our patients say it best.

"Was my first time here and I truly enjoyed it. Dr. Matthew is the best, he is extremely professional and kind and his son is truly adorable. I love the family atmosphere. Thanks for y’all help"

Santi Sarrica

"We are from Ohio camping in the area. A few days ago I woke up and couldn’t get out if bed, nor sit-down in a chair or get up out of a chair. After a few days of rest and OTC pain relief, I realized I needed help. Searching on line I discovered Dr. Cavanaugh’s…"

Karen Frankland

"Dr. Matt Cavanaugh is an awesome chiropractor, and the staff are so friendly and helpful! I had to go to the chiropractor for the first time a few months ago due to really intense back pain from playing a musical instrument and they have all really helped me out. Can’t recommend them enough!"
