Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment to eliminate nerve interference. This enhances communication between the brain and body, promoting natural healing and optimal function. Patients experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and better overall health. Our techniques are gentle and tailored to individual needs.
Pediatric Care
Pediatric chiropractic care addresses spinal misalignments in infants and children. Gentle adjustments support healthy nervous system development, potentially preventing issues like colic, asthma, or developmental delays. Our approach ensures comfort and safety for young patients.
Pregnancy Care
Pregnancy chiropractic care focuses on maintaining spinal alignment during pregnancy. This helps alleviate discomfort, improve balance, and support the body's adaptability to physical changes. Postnatal adjustments aid in recovery and restore musculoskeletal health.
Cranial Facial Release
Cranial Facial Release gently adjusts skull bones to relieve sinus pressure and improve cerebrospinal fluid flow. This technique addresses chronic sinus issues, migraines, and neurological imbalances. Patients often experience immediate relief and improved respiratory function.

Dr. Melissa and her staff create the perfect, nurturing environment. Dr. Melissa's approach is very specific to my needs. She's helped me recover from Sciatica. I've also got a neck that doesn't respond well to strong adjustments, so she employs other methods of stretching and more gentle adjustments that are just right for me. She can get xrays for you, and she also has a cool tool that assess your spinal nerve conductivity. Thank you Dr. Melissa for all your great care.

Best night of sleep the whole year! My wife and I had the privilege of a quick late day neck adjustment from Dr Melissa. Felt great afterwards and woke up the next day feeling even better, well rested and big smiles. Thanks for realigning our energies.

Dr Melissa changed my life! I have had a balance/vestibular problem since 2008 and have tried all kinds of treatments - none have worked for me. CFR combined with the other adjustments allow me to have relief from my symptoms in a truly meaningful way. I know CFR seems scary at first and it is *so* worth it! Thank you a million times over for the work you do!
