The Denver Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Denver

Introducing Denver Chiropractor Dr. Heather Melling

Several years ago I was traveling across the US and started having stabbing pains in my neck and shoulder blade.  The pain kept me awake and I found myself not able to fully enjoy many of the activities I had planned for my vacation. Thankfully, part of my trip involved a stop in my home city, New York, where I had several colleagues from chiropractic school practicing.  I knew within several hours upon arriving in New York I would be able to find relief of my neck and shoulder pain.  After suffering for a little over 2 days and with 2 weeks left in my vacation,  I knew that a quick trip to the chiropractor would help me enjoy the rest of my time off, pain free.

And that is exactly what happened.  I presented myself to a friend who had been practicing in NYC for several years, who, after a brief exam found that I had pinched a nerve in the middle of my neck that was causing my pain.  One tiny correction to my spine and my vacation was saved!  I was in pain no more!  In that moment I realized how much I take chiropractic, my chosen profession for granted.  It made me sad to think of all the people who would have suffered throughout their vacation with terrible pain.  People unaware of how easy spinal pain can sometimes be taken care of.  It seemed crazy to me that people suffer even longer than I had with similar pain unaware of the powerful changes an adjustment to the spine could make to their health.

I decided then that part of my goal in practice would be to help educate people about their spine.  This way not only could they help themselves to live better and pain free, but also help their friends and loved ones by sharing the stories filled with facts and results about the power of a simple adjustment! The body has an amazing ability to heal itself if interference to the nervous system is removed. As a chiropractor, that is all I do. Let the body heal itself, by removing the interference.

Over the years, I have made efforts to lecture throughout the community.  I think it is wonderful to be able to arm people with knowledge about the body and its needs.  The ability to help people make the choices that change their health and quality of life is one of  the best parts about being a chiropractor.  It only comes second, to the days when I am able to make a correction to spine for a patient in so much pain and see them immediately feel better after it is made.  Not many other health care professionals get to see immediate results in their office.

Dr. Melling enjoys practicing close to the lake and equally enjoys her free time at home on the lake.  She loves boating and water skiing.  Dr. Melling also enjoys traveling and hopes to see the world in her lifetime.  Music makes her happy also. Exercising is not necessarily her favorite thing to do, but she realizes that in order to be healthy and enjoy traveling, boating and skiing, it is a necessary part of life. Along with maintenance adjustments.
