About the Doctor
Hi! My name is Dr. Meredith and I am a chiropractor with extensive knowledge and experience treating a variety of common spinal related health issues: Headaches/migraines, back pain, neck pain and spinal degenerative conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal arthritis and herniations.
With over 12 years of experience and thousands of patient visits under my belt I am confident in my ability to get my clients real results and relief. If I don't feel I can help you with your specific health needs I can direct you towards someone who can. I know your health is your greatest and most important asset in life and it needs to be taken care of for your ENTIRE life. This is why I am trained to assess and adjust babies and children as well as adults. It is vital to monitor and foster proper development in young peoples spines. Now more then ever. Prolonged sitting and cellphone use is deteriorating the spinal health of our population, especially in kids!
I have special interest and extensive experience in chronic pain (pain lasting longer then 6 months) chronic pain related to fatigue, stress, depression and anxiety, as well on chronic pain related to SITTING all day.
As a Chiropractor I am trained to assess for Subluxation/Misalignment of the spine and how it relates to the functioning of the nervous system and body. If your spine is not healthy the body cannot be completely healthy. The spine houses your central nervous system (spinal cord) which controls and gives life the all parts of your body. Misalignment in the spine can cause interference to the nerves coming out of the spine and affect the functioning and health in the regions these nerves go to. In addition, irritation and interference of the nervous system causes overstimulation of our sympathetic nervous system (STRESS response) which in turn deteriorates your overall health (stress, inflammation, fatigue, increased blood pressure, etc..).
The most important thing about me is that I am passionate and care deeply about the health of every client I see. I am 100% committed to you and serving you with world class chiropractic care and service. I am also friendly and understanding of every individuals needs. Feel free to give me a call, email or text. I am happy to connect with you, discuss your health concerns or answer any questions you may have.
What do corrective chiropractors do?
What should I expect on my first visit?
On your first visit you will meet with the me, Dr. Meredith. I am a chiropractor with over 12 years of experience. Chiropractors undergo 8 years of education to become doctors of Chiropractic. Chiropractors are health professionals who are experts in the spine and nervous system. During your first visit I will take a thorough health history to get a full understanding of your current health state and your health goals.
Next, I will complete comprehensive spinal exam. During this exam I will be looking for areas of misalignment and damage in your spine. I will also assess your spinal structure and movement, as well as your posture. I will even send you to get X-rays if I suspect any abnormalities/damage in your spine.
After your exam I will go through your results and come up with a plan for you to reach your health goals. This usually involves chiropractic treatment and adjustments to the spine, lifestyle modifications, exercises, etc...
During your second appointment we will go through the result of your exam and also go over your individualized health plan.
Most of my clients find this process fulfilling and exciting, but it can also be an emotional process for some. Identifying your health issues can be challenging, but I invite you to JUMP in to the process enthusiastically. Chronic pain and poor health can be difficult to step into, but i promise the process is worth it! Nothing feels better then getting out of pain, taking action to reach your health goals and changing your life!
Life changing Testiminials
I’m happy to hear about their experience with me!
"I began seeing Dr. Meredith about five years ago. I had chronic back pain. My lower back would "go out" on a regular basis for the previous 25 years, leaving me in incredible agony for days. My neck and upper back always hurt and I found myself constantly adjusting my neck, trying to get it to release or somehow magically feel better. I had a bit of a hump on my upper spine and I was having a difficult time turning my head when I was driving. My family doctor told me I had osteoarthritis. I wrote this off as part of having lived a physically active life and aging. I had gone to a chiropractor before, when my back "was out" and it was helpful, but certainly not life altering. Nobody taught me about my spine until I went to Dr. Meredith. I have gone from constant discomfort to rarely noticing I even have a spine. The hump on my upper spine is barely there and I have no difficulty turning my head anymore. She has made the same kind of difference with friends I have sent her way. Dr. Meredith really cares about everyone she works with. She is a devoted, cutting edge chiropractor, who will change your life, if you allow it. If you are not looking for a chiropractor, you need to. All chiropractors are not created equal - Dr. Meredith is exceptional! Thanks for all you have done for my family and friends, Meredith! I cannot imagine where I would be if I didn't meet you that day at the market. You are incredible!

"I have been seeing Dr. Meredith for adjustments for 4 years. My health and back pain immediately improved after my first few visits. I continued to see her just to maintain my newfound strength. I even took my daughter after she was born and she too has gone for chiropractic adjustments throughout her childhood. I highly recommend Dr. Meredith. I have been to other’s and she is by far my favourite.

"My wife and I are both cared for by Dr. Meredith, and we have been with her for many years now. I remember that our initial exam was so thorough that we were blown away. - Over the years, Dr. Meredith has educated us on our spinal health including the improvements we have made from her adjustments, and recommendations that have all impacted our lives deeply in an incredible way. Dr. Meredith is also very gentle with my wife and checks in on how we are doing each week. I appreciate that Dr. Meredith is strong and always able to offer more advice when I have slept wrong or struggling with stress from work. Honestly, she is a life saver, and a super knowledgable doctor. Thank you Dr. Meredith for what you do!"
