Chiropractor

Mellissa Nelson was born in Augusta Georgia, U.S.A., and studied to be a chiropractor in Atlanta Georgia. She graduated in 1997 and worked for 2 years in America before moving to South Africa in 1999.

Mellissa had a successful practice in Howick for 9 years before moving it to Hilton in 2008. The technique that Mellissa uses is not your typical “cracking” method but instead utilises a drop table and activator to align the spine. It is a very safe, but effective technique.

At Garlington Mellissa hopes to grow her practice and include possibly another chiropractor, physio, massage therapist and do some exercise classes specifically for the back. She will also have a Bemer blanket which increases circulation, this helps increase healing time, while decreasing pain.
