Dr. Mel began her chiropractic career inspired by her mother’s recovery following a significant motor vehicle accident. Originally from Montana, she moved to Alaska in 1996 and completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Alaska Southeast. She subsequently earned her Doctorate from D’Youville Chiropractic College in 2014, where she was one of only three women in her graduating class. Her clinical training included work with the Buffalo Bandits and the Buffalo Sabres, as well as rotations at the Buffalo Spine and Sports Institute and Erie County Medical Center.

After beginning her career at a prominent personal injury firm in Washington, D.C., Dr. Mel relocated to Las Vegas in 2019. Following several years of local practice, she opened Clarity Chiropractic in Henderson, NV, in 2025.

Dr. Mel specializes in personal injury, sports chiropractic, and prenatal care. She is certified in various modalities, including the Graston, Webster, and Logan techniques, kinesiology taping, manual therapy, IASTM, cupping, and rehabilitative exercise. Her expertise encompasses multiple adjusting methods, such as Diversified, Manual, Activator, and Cox Flexion-Distraction Therapy.

As an active member of the American Chiropractic Association, the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, and the National Association of Professional Women, Dr. Mel remains committed to providing evidence-based care through continuous professional development.
