Her Story

Compassionate Care,
Focused On Your Goals

Dr. Melanie Teper majored in Kinesiology at Michigan State University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science with honors. She went on to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, immersing herself in a wide range of techniques and earning her Doctorate of Chiropractic, summa cum laude.

Along the way she became certified in the Webster Technique — used to support pregnant women — and completed coursework in the Sacro-Occipital Technique, Activator, and Flexion-Distraction. She has a particular passion for caring for seniors, pregnant women, families, and anyone seeking natural solutions for pain and movement limitations.

“My mission is to touch as many lives as I can. Whether you’re living with chronic pain or simply looking to optimize your nervous system, chiropractic care can make a difference. My goal is to get people out of pain — and keep them out of pain.”

— Dr. Melanie Teper

Techniques & Approach

A Method for Every Body

Dr. Teper draws on a wide range of techniques so your care can be tailored to your age, comfort level, and condition.

Webster Technique

A specialized, gentle technique that reduces tension within the pelvis to support comfort and balance during pregnancy.

Activator Method

Low-force, instrument-assisted adjustments delivered without twisting or cracking — ideal for gentle care.

Sacro-Occipital Technique

A whole-body approach addressing the important relationship between the pelvis and the head.

Flexion-Distraction

Gentle spinal decompression that relieves disc pressure and irritated nerves to restore motion.

Diversified Adjusting

Precise, hands-on manual adjustments that restore proper joint movement and nervous system function.

Individualized Care

Every treatment plan is built around your specific needs, goals, and lifestyle — never one-size-fits-all.
