Dr. Melissa “Dr. Mel” Hobaica is the founder of Clarity Chiropractic, a boutique, owner-operated practice serving Henderson and the greater Las Vegas community. She opened Clarity after becoming a mother—a life-changing experience that inspired her to create a practice where patients receive the same compassion, attention, and personalized care she would want for her own family.
Although Clarity Chiropractic welcomes patients from all walks of life, personal injury care remains a central focus of Dr. Mel’s career. She understands that recovering from an accident can be physically and emotionally overwhelming, and she strives to make the process feel clear, supportive, and manageable. Her approach combines individualized treatment with consistent communication, thorough documentation, and coordinated care that patients and their legal teams can rely on throughout each stage of a case.
Dr. Mel earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from D’Youville Chiropractic College in 2014 after completing her undergraduate studies at the University of Alaska Southeast. Her clinical training included working with professional athletic organizations such as the Buffalo Bandits and Buffalo Sabres, along with rotations at Erie County Medical Center and the Buffalo Spine and Sports Institute. These experiences gave her a strong foundation in acute injury management, rehabilitation, and performance-based care.
She began her career in Washington, D.C., working in a high-volume personal injury practice, where she developed extensive experience in accident-related injury care, case management, clinical documentation, and interdisciplinary coordination. After relocating to Las Vegas in 2019, she continued building her expertise and refining a patient-centered approach that supports both meaningful recovery and the unique documentation needs of personal injury cases.
Dr. Mel is trained in a wide variety of treatment methods, including Graston Technique, kinesiology taping, instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization, cupping, and rehabilitative exercise. Her adjusting techniques include Diversified, Activator, Webster Technique, Logan Basic, and Cox Flexion-Distraction, allowing her to tailor care to each patient’s condition, comfort level, and individual goals.
Outside the office, Dr. Mel loves spending time outdoors and enjoying life with her daughter and family. Her warmth, down-to-earth personality, and genuine love for helping others shape the environment at Clarity Chiropractic. She wants every patient to feel heard, cared for, and comfortable—not like a number in a busy clinic.
Dr. Mel is an active member of the American Chiropractic Association and the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress. She remains committed to continuing education and to providing thoughtful, personalized care that meets the evolving standards of healthcare and personal injury practice.
