About Dr. Mateo Franco
Chiropractor in Lexington, KY
Dr. Mateo Franco’s journey to chiropractic began with two passions: caring for people and pushing the limits of his own performance as an athlete. Growing up, chiropractic care helped him stay strong on the soccer and football fields, giving him the opportunity to attend kicking camps at universities across the country and eventually play college soccer at the University of Indianapolis.
But his path wasn’t always easy. Years of sports took a toll on his body, leaving him with severe low back pain and nerve issues. It was during his time at Palmer College of Chiropractic that Dr. Mateo discovered that chiropractic was about much more than quick fixes for neck or back pain, it was about restoring and optimizing the nervous system so the body could heal and function the way it was designed to.
With consistent care, he not only eliminated the shooting pain in his legs but also experienced regeneration in his spine that doctors didn’t think was possible.
That personal transformation solidified his mission: to help others experience the same kind of healing and hope. Dr. Mateo believes that God doesn’t make junk, and when the nervous system is functioning at its best, the body is capable of incredible things. His goal is to provide every patient with premiere, personalized chiropractic care so they can move better, feel better, and live without fear.


"Those who understand health and where it comes from can truly live a life without fear."

What Makes Life Without Fear Chiropractic Different?
At Life Without Fear Chiropractic, we believe your care should go beyond chasing symptoms. While many chiropractors focus on temporary pain relief, Dr. Mateo takes a different approach. His goal is to help your body function at its best so you can experience lasting health, not just a quick fix.
One of the ways we do this is through the Torque Release Technique (TRT). Unlike traditional twisting or “cracking” adjustments, TRT is a gentle, precise, low-force technique that works directly with your nervous system. By improving the way your brain and body communicate, we can help unlock your body’s natural ability to heal, restore, and regenerate.
Our care is also grounded in a wellness and corrective approach. That means we don’t stop when your symptoms improve. We work with you to correct underlying issues, strengthen your body, and prevent problems from coming back. Progress exams and digital motion X-rays allow us to track real changes in your spine and nervous system, giving you confidence that your health is moving in the right direction.
And at the heart of everything we do are our Christian values. Dr. Mateo is committed to caring for each patient with integrity, compassion, and respect. His faith shapes not only how he practices, but how he serves people, pointing them toward hope, healing, and the belief that God created each of us with the ability to thrive.
Life Without Fear Chiropractic isn’t just about feeling better today. It’s about helping you live with more energy, more purpose, and more life for years to come.
