Chiropractic Testimonials – Satisfied, Healthy Patients’ Stories

Holly Harvin

I cannot say enough about this practice!! Dr Melissa & Andrea have both been Godsend. Not only has this amazing practice helped me with my numerous injuries & debilitating migraines, but they have also helped improve my sleep and beyond via adjustments, medical grade laser, PEMF devices, hyperbaric O2 chamber, and supplements. I have felt held and a sense of hope re: my physical pain as I finally found folks who would lovingly facilitate me along my healing journey. So grateful!!!

Charlton Hoag

In Mid-July I shared my health issues with Dr. Melissa. She said she could help. On August 8th I weighed 243 pounds. I had no energy, struggled to get out of bed in the morning, dealt with an onslaught of negative thinking and simply could not get any momentum to get healthy. This Morning, September 1st, I stepped on the scale and weighed 219 pounds. My energy is up, I wake up before my alarm, I have clarity of thought again and have reignited my ability to focus on a task and complete it. I have another 35 pounds to lose, and for the first time since I gained all the weight I have no doubt that I can accomplish this. I am a patient for life, and without hesitation will use Dr. Melissa and TWS as my foundation for my total wellness.

Dr Kevin Flythe

Today was my first appointment and it was amazing!!! The staff was so warm and welcoming. The entire ambiance of the office is totally peaceful and exudes the energy of welling and healing. Dr. Arnold truly turned my power back on in my nervous system along with decreasing my stress and pain. The Zone Therapy Technique Which she uses is powerful and her healing intentions are purely energetic and filled with the intention of love and well-being. I am truly grateful!!!

Leslie Clayton

I'm so glad that I decided to commit to 3 months of services with Melissa and Holly at Total Wellness Solutions. Before I made that choice, I'd been experiencing years of chronic pain and challenges with lower back, hip and foot. With weekly Chiropractic, Zone and laser treatments, my pain is almost completely gone. My body is healing and maintaining the new range of motion with each week...Love Total Wellness Solutions and every one on staff!

Nick Portolese

If you’re looking for a healing center you’ve come to the right place! Can’t say enough positive things about Total Wellness Solutions and Dr. Melissa. I have had Tourette’s Syndrome almost my entire life and deal with a lot of uncomfortable tics that get worse with increasing levels of stress. After my first adjustment with the Zone Technique, my tics were dramatically decreased by 50%! This blew my mind, and I now have the most control over my condition since I’ve been treated. Extremely grateful for the selflessness of Dr. Melissa!

This review is for people who have babies with digestive problems. My preemie of 30 weeks had some pretty excessive digestive issues.silent reflux, severe gas, and constipation. By the time we went to see Melissa he was 10 months old real age and 8 months corrected. I only wish I had gone sooner. His gas had gotten so bad he was only sleeping at one hour intervals before he'd wake up in pain. He's done so many bicycle kicks he's ready for the Tour de France. It is awful to see a baby with bags under his eyes. He was averaging maybe 8-9 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. We had been to 2 different gastro doctors, a dentist for a tongue tie, and a Ped feeding specialist and nutritionist. All to no avail. After his first visit he pooped 3 times in one day. And continued to do so. We saw her twice a week for four weeks and in that time period she not only helped him with constipation, reflux, and gas but found a number of digestive enzymes, and different probiotics to help sooth his digestive track. When we went to his 3rd gastro doc...he said what Melissa did was the best thing we could have done. He approved of the supplements and was impressed with the increase in his bowel functionality. And for those parents reading this at 2 a.m. searching endlessly for something that will help their own child, the other smoking gun in this drama was his formula. We tried them all, even special ones from Germany and the United Kingdom, none helped. Cows milk, soy milk, goats milk, Lactaid, any and all were tried. The holy grail ended up being Pea Protein Milk (Hemp milk is good too). After 48 hours of being on that and stopping his formula (I was still breastfeeding but weaning - I weaned all together shortly after going on the pea protein milk). This combined with Melissa's endless expertise, gave my baby the gift of sleep (for both him and his parents). If your child is suffering from anything similar, I can't urge you enough to try her. I should also say that both myself and my husband have never had any chiropratic work on ourselves before and were extremely skeptical. No more. When I tell my son we are going to see Dr. Melissa, he gets excited and claps his hands...that should tell you how easily she deals with small children.

OMM Oxygen Mask Meditation

I have been suffering from nocturia and insomnia for the last few months - waking up 10 times or more per night! Melissa brought me in for the Zones treatment & sat with me and truly listened to me before she even got started with me. Within just a few visits my nightly wake ups were reduced & with continued treatment from Dr. Melissa - I am averaging 2-3 wake ups per night instead of 10 or more. I am confident that I will be sleeping through the night very soon! On a secondary note - the chronic knee pain I had in my right knee has completely disappeared & I have new mobility in my hips thanks to Total Wellness Solutions!

Scott Dixon

As a healthcare professional myself I’m always looking for knowledgeable practitioners for my own health. I can’t say enough amazing things about the staff at Total Wellness Solutions! And the way they treat everybody so kindly! The healthy positive energy alone can make you feel better, then you combine that with their knowledge and you're going to feel GREAT. Huge thank you to Dr. Melissa Arnold and her staff!

Tennielle Bailey

This is a wonderful practice. Dr. Melissa and her team have been great to my family and are a critical part of our wellbeing. I started with Dr. Melissa to address some hip pain and quickly found relief for my migraines. What??? It’s all connected. She has also helped my son alleviate some anxiety-based ticks. I never thought about taking him for chiropractic care, but he tagged along with me one day and now he loves his visits too. As a family, we give Total Wellness Solutions 8 thumbs up

Debbie Unterman

I found this Center and Dr. Melissa after a car accident when I needed someone who could take my MedPay and provide all the services I needed. I especially needed Chiropractic and Massage. Both were above expectations. I’ve seen Chiropractors for for over 35 years but never experienced this Zone Therapy before. I’m amazed at its effectiveness. And what expertise Tricia has with her therapeutic massage techniques. Plus they’ve done Lazer therapy and a PMF treatment on me too. And their Hyperbaric Chamber is very nice. The results have been better than I coul have imagined. From whiplash on the right side and exacerbation to my left shoulder rotator cuff pain I was pretty disabled coming in. Couldn’t put shirts or jackets on or off without pain. Could not hook my bra and had to spend a month or so going without one. It was bad and painful. Now I can do all that and more. But even more surprising was that a few weeks ago when I sprained my ankle I came in limping and thinking I better buy a cane. By that night I was walking without a limp. Dr. Melissa explains it’s because she’s got my body in a healing mode. I recommend this office to everyone.

Zoey Williams

Dr. Melissa and her staff and kind and professional. I have been using them for a month now. I first went in for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and I have added services to expedite my healing. I would definitely recommend this Office. I have visited others in Atlanta that are not professional. Even when there was a problem, Management took every measure to ensure I was taken care of. As a patient you want someone who will be knowledgeable and understanding. This is it! Welcome to the Sweet Spot.

Louis Salters

Great team that has done some awesome work on my body. Dr. Arnold has assembled a great team to help her patients get to a better state of total health. I came in two months ago after hurting myself while doing a CrossFit style workout. I was unable to fully lift my left arm, my shoulder was up to my ear with what an MRI later showed to be 3 cervical disc herniations in my lower neck which produced nerve pain and numbness shooting down to my two fingers and my thumb. It felt like I had a knife permanently lodged and occasionally being twisted underneath my shoulder blade and my forearm was in excruciating pain: pain level was an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. I had many a night where I could not even sleep through the night. Today, my pain level is a 3 out of 10, I am starting back with light exercise and weight conditioning. it has been a journey and there is more work to be done but I am well on the way to full recovery and I am hopeful they will help me to be stronger and whole in the future. Staying committed and grateful to Total Wellness Solutions!

Shawn Pack

Both my husband and I are both back on track after experiencing lower back issues thanks to Dr. Melissa. She is passionate and strives to get every one of her patients the right treatment. Great office and great staff!

Paul Roma

I am an aging college athlete that is constantly looking to recover from competitions and training. Melissa has been brilliant for me over the years. She started off correcting a chronic issue that I had in my low back for years with an annular tear in my lumbar and now she keeps me in-line for cross fit or extensive global travel. Melissa has an individualized treatment process that isn't like other chiro's. Every visit is like the first treatment and you never leave without feeling better. Whether you are an athlete or just looking to improve your health, I highly recommend her services.

Erica Stephens

I went to Dr. Melissa for knee pain and lower back/hip tightness. My lower back and hip issues were quickly resolved through adjustment. She recommended laser therapy for my knee, and the results have been wonderful. After three treatments, I enjoyed my first pain-free run in years. I had given up on ever running again after a discouraging visit with a well-known sports orthopedist/surgeon. Most of all, I enjoy Dr. Melissa's positive, patient-empowering attitude toward wellness.

Naturophoria

I have been a patient of Dr. Melissa Arnold for well over 10 years for my chiropractic needs. She has continually provided me relief for both acute and chronic imbalances that I have experienced - from a boat with a pulled muscle, a car accident, or a fall - she has always provided relief and helped me to get back in balance. I recently had a bad tumble with a bicycle landing on my shoulder and really throwing things out of alignment. By the second adjustment, and some time on the BioMat - there was a world of difference! Her knowledge of body mechanics and structural systems are amazing, and the kinesiology technique that she uses always pinpoints my "problem spots". I have sent a great many of my own clients and colleagues to her because of her working knowledge, perception, trust, and the ability to help people who are in pain. There are chiropractors out there... and there is Dr. Melissa. Thank you fo all that you do!

Joann Pintz

3-12-2020 I first met Dr. Arnold several years ago. We worked together at a mutual Medical facility. From the first time she adjusted me, I knew there was something different about her. Fast forward it's this past Sunday and my back is twinging feeling tight. Sunday night it's hurting to step down on left foot. Wake up Monday morning, can barely get out of bed. Pain is radiating from the left hip to mid-back to shoulder up to my back. I cannot straighten up and the pain is at a ten. WOW, what did I do?? Called the office and Holly answered. There are no hours that day and she proceeds to fit me in first thing Tuesday morning. Tuesday comes and no sleep, can't straighten up and now the pain is excruciating way past a 10!! I shuffled into her office my cane barely able to hold me up and was met with such love and positivism. Holly immediately helps me to the biomat chair - and that felt great. Melissa ever so gently helped me onto her adjusting table and began her Zone probing. Those skilled hands began to work their magic and I started to get some relief. I then had lazer treatment to the area and by the time I left I had some range of motion again- still crying with pain but more motion. I actually had some sleep that night. Returned for more of the same Wednesday to realize I am moving a little better and my pain has lessened more. Today Thursday I woke up from a really decent sleep able to stand erect, move with much more ease, and a much-lessened pain level. Went in for repeat treatments today and as I write these several hours out from my visit this morning, I am sitting up straight. My pain is down to an annoying backache and I am walking without using the cane 80% of the time. I don't know how she does it. Her instincts are dead on. Always smiling, positive, and fun. I love going to her office. I honest to God don't know what I would have done without her. I was basically crippled with pain and maladjustment. I see her again Sunday and know I am always in hands that truly love and care for her patients and for her community at large. God bless you, Melissa. If anyone was born to be a healer it was you!!!! Much love and gratitude JoAnn Pintz

Michelle Phillips

Thank you for remaining open and for adjusting me and Madison! This is an important time for us to be taking care of our bodies as well as our minds and spirits. What you do is so important in all these areas! Being in alignment, having properly functioning zones, and the bodily systems all working in harmony is key to being able to fight off pathogens - because as we all know, you can't avoid all germs, viruses or bacteria forever. It is a part of life. Even though many parts of life are somewhat being put on hold right now, being in optimal health is the only long-term solution to maintaining wellness and overcoming sicknesses quickly and efficiently. Thank you for continuing to offer your vital services in this time of need. I know many people are scared, worried, and stressed. Your zone healing is amazing to deal with these feelings and their effects on the body! The fact that my pain in Zone 1 had already diminished just after you had me talk about how I was feeling and describe the thing bothering me most in one word (P.S. it was "overwhelmed"), is unbelievable! You learn more healing techniques every time I see you! We are so thankful for people like you. I also appreciate the extra measures you are your office are taking to keep everything safe and sanitized for everyone who visits.

After another flare up and intense pain caused by three herniated discs, I was desperate for immediate relief and long-term healing. There was a pain going down my left leg and numbness in my feet. I found this place on Google and decided to give them a try. From the get-go, Dr. Arnold set realistic expectations of how the treatment plan would work and how soon I can see improvements. Let me tell you, after only 11 laser sessions and adjustments, not only was the pain non-existent but also my left foot was no longer numb! I love the friendliness of everyone here and the vision they are cultivating.

Terri Boxer

Why would I go anywhere else when All my issues totally improved !!!! 2 arthritic feet, 1 knee with 2 torn ligaments and a Bakers cyst, and a neck injury from a car accident. I feel great! Rarely taking Ibiprophin. I’m actually in shock how well I feel. My daughter has been going for her tailbone and she feels so much better! Also, you want to go to a place like this where their equipment is top-notch! As for the Staff- Dr. Melissa Arnold- a professional, knows exactly how to help the problem and really cares about her patients. Holly is also amazing, friendly, and extremely helpful. I like the other Melissa a lot also. I’m hooked!

Keara Seward

Dr. Melissa Arnold is amazing! The Zone technique she uses is nothing short of a miracle. I've had chronic pain in my neck and shoulder for years. After 3 adjustments and 2 laser treatments, the pain is less than it's been in YEARS. I've also been headache free for a week, which is amazing for me. Not only is she an amazing Chiropractor, but what a fantastic person. I just love going in and chatting with her. Also a shout out to her CA (Chiropractor's Assistant), Holly. Super friendly and fun to talk to as well. Great place, and great people. Very strongly and highly recommend.

Susannah Felton

This place is the best! As soon as I walk in I feel so at ease and calm. Holly at the front desk is so so welcoming and Dr. Melissa truly cares for her patients. She talks through everything in ways you can understand, and her adjustments have already been making me feel better after just three visits. Love all the products they offer as well! Can’t recommend Total Wellness Solutions enough!!

Farzana Virani

Absolutely love my health care team. I have suffered from very specific chronic illnesses my entire life. After a whole lifetime of failed attempts at finding answers at traditional doctors offices, I began my search for alternative health care approaches. I found different forms of eastern medicine, acupuncture, gut friendly diets, meditation and yoga to be my answers. Dr. Melissa follows a very holistic approach to health. She aligns me twice a week, I use the hyperbaric chamber twice a week, and I have done blood work and other tests (I will spare you the details ) to learn about every detail of my gut and body health. I see the whole workings and interconnected nature of our bodies balance. There are so many aspects of our health that we have ignored as a society as a whole. Our diets, jobs, and stress levels impact our bodies alignment and ability to function in many ways. Love this office. Found my health care team and not going anywhere else.

One Flame

Dr. Melissa is wonderful. She uses innovative techniques to provide relief and heal the body. The wobbly chair and self-massage devices are really helpful to relax tight muscles prior to adjusting. The bio-mat is a great addition before and after the appt. to ease mind, body, and spirit. The individualistic care plan along with zone technique and suggested at home exercises /positioning has helped alleviate my pain, increased range of motion, and manage my misalignment. Friendly staff really cares about their clients’ well-being!

Thomas McDermott

The staff and Dr. Melissa Arnold are truly amazing and would highly recommend them. My son was her first patient, he was a preemie (10 weeks early) and wasn't having regular bowel movements. She clearly explained it could take awhile before the results worked, but within a few visits he was doing great! We continued seeing her and has maintained great health. We tell all new mothers about her and would recommend your baby going to see her too if you have any odd symptoms or just to keep healthy. I never thought Chiropractor care could help infants with this problem, but I'm a believer now! I had a back issue come up and had never been to a Chiropractor before except for my son's visits. I didn't know what to expect, but I can assure you Dr. Melissa communication are off the charts outlining everything before you get started and while you're getting adjusted to make sure you're not in pain. I continue to see her after she reduced my pain from 7-8 out of 10 to now wellness adjustments. She also worked on my thumb which has been sore for a number of years. I've had many shots of cortisone but they did not work. Doctors told me I was getting arthritis early (50 years old) and would have to live with the pain. My thumb still flairs up when over used, but Dr. Melissa takes care of this issue too. Save yourself the trouble of looking elsewhere and visit the friendly and knowledgeable staff at Total Wellness Solution. You can thank me by adding to my post once you've gone and experience the difference!

JD Phoenix

It is a refreshing experience to walk into an establishment that has a warm and friendly environment. On my way to my first appointment, I anticipated what my hour there was going to be like, and I must say it was nothing I expected. To begin with, the receptionist greeted me as though she knew me for years and then I met doctor Melissa Arnold her energy and personality is unforgettable. She introduced herself and asked me a lot of questions about my everyday activities. We went to the adjustment area it was the first time I had a chiropractor explain zone to me and how they affect the different systems in my body. She palpated the back of my head and asked me to pick a corresponding number that is most tender. She was able to trace it to the area of my body that I need adjusting, AMAZING. After adjustment, I did the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Spinal Decompression Therapy. I left my visit feeling energized. Thank you, Dr. Arnold, for treating me holistically.

Andrea Waldman

There are so many options for therapies and healing opportunities: hyperbaric oxygen chamber, PEMF, Biomat, Percussor, Massage, Nutrition, Chiropractic and more. Most importantly is the true desire to serve and help people be their best. Thank you for being of great service in joy! Over the summer, I had a 2nd degree tear in my calf muscle. Immediately I did 3 laser sessions in a row and multiple pemf sessions and I was able to walk (with only a mild limp vs hopping - zero pressure on the leg). I continued care over time, but that initial relief was incredibly impressive.

B Rosen

This chiropractic and wellness practice is the most life changing I have ever been to. I had been seeing a different chiropractor but wasn’t seeing great results. A trusted friend recommended Dr. Melissa Arnold, and I could not be more pleased! My pain released after the first visit and continues to improve each visit. She uses a zone methodology that I had never heard about from any other chiropractor, and I believe it is a game changer. Dr. Melissa is an incredibly caring and well-trained practitioner. Her listening skills and naturally empathetic manner really set her apart. I am grateful to have been referred to this practice and give them my highest recommendation.

Tams Nicholson

I have used hyperbaric therapy at other establishments but find this one to be better than others. It's really important for me to be in the best possible hyperbaric chamber at this time because I am recovery from black mold toxicity and have been very ill. So ill, in fact, that I had to move out of my home and leave all my posessions. The quality of the constant pressure within this hyperbaric chamber (I'm in it right now) combined with the amazing staff here at Total Wellness Solutions is phenomenal. Thank you for helping me recover my health by having a superior hyperbaric chamber and being so knowledgeable about mold and health. I feel so blessed to be here.

Nancy B. Butler

I have been going to Dr. Arnold for over 3 years now and she has helped me with my issues from Fibro to Thyroid to past injuries and surgeries. The hyperbaric chamber, laser, pmpf, prolozone, ozone and lots of Zone work lately. Dr. Arnold has helped me many times and I hope you will consider her office and the great staff she works with. Andrea W., Holly, and Melissa H. do a great job also.

Michelle S.

My name is Michelle Simpson, I am 44 years old and have been a Dental Hygienist for 20 years and during this time I have been getting fairly regular care from chiropractors. I had ruptured my L5 disc in high school, when a friend pulled a chair from underneath me and I had surgery then in 1982. Since then I have been pain free and active, until June 26 2010, when out for a routine jog, I experienced immobilizing pain in my low back, I spent a day on ice and taking Ibuprofen, without any improvement. I was familiar with that kind of pain and I was having flashbacks to my previous injury and scared I would be again facing surgery. I could hardly move or get in and out of bed alone. I tried a day or two of muscle relaxers, steroids, anti-inflammatory medications prescribed by my general physician and again found little to no relief.

Shellie D.

"Dr. Melissa Arnold is an incredible chiropractor. I suffered from neck pain that was getting worse and worse as the years went by. I had been seeing the same chiropractor for 8 years with no relief and very aggressive adjustments. I finally went searching for a solution and found Dr. Arnold. Not long After my physical therapy begin with Melissa I started to hurt again. Like a wise friend she reminded me to breath and look at the stress in my life. That it could also be blocking my healing and holding pain and tension in my body. Most doctors I had seen wanted to put me on pain meds or talk about surgery, not about healing. To me she was a real doctor. Someone who cares about helping and truly healing people. Her attention to the whole body that is given is amazing and what this world needs more of. It has been 7months now with my neck has not locked up. With her adjustments and PT I am back to riding my dirt bike and living life with full movement. ( Remembering to breath ) My family and I are so grateful to have found her. Thank you so much Melissa."

Illania H.

Dr Melissa Arnold is the consumate professional with technical expertise, intuitive patient care and concern and a dedication to results no matter what it takes. I have been practically debilitated and unable to walk and her chiropractic adjustment and spinal decompression therapy technique really got me moving again—AND pain FREE! I recommend all my friends to her with complete confidence that they will be genuinely and technically taken care of. I am very priviledged to know such a wonderful and GREAT chiropractor.

Troy F

I am a professional stuntman/actor. As a stuntman, I have to take care of my body similar to a professional athlete. Total Wellness Solutions is the best at helping me do that in every way. From Nutritional supplements to Chiropractic to even proper dieting. They care about every patient individually catering to their needs. I have had my share of chiropractors, but none compare to to Dr. Arnold. She has a thorough and unique approach that gets results. I utilize the chiropractic and physical medicine divisions the most. I would highly recommend Total Wellness Solutions as the place to learn how to live and stay healthy.

Jessica M

Dr. Melissa Arnold has been absolutely amazing in getting my body in alignment after the harsh wear and tear it endures on a daily basis. As a professional stuntwoman in the film industry, I put my body through all kinds of crazy scenarios and I am left limping away from the job or from training, quite frequently. Dr. Arnold has gone above and beyond to help me recover after a hard day of training or work. She genuinely cares about her patients and is extremely thorough. After going to see her for only a few months, she was able to take away tingling in my arm, neck pain, headaches, sciatic nerve pain, low back pain, shoulder pain, etc….the list goes on!! My body was a mess before going to see Dr. Arnold, and now I really do feel like a new woman! By keeping up with getting adjusted on a regular basis, I have been able to perform my job better than I ever had before. She and Andrea also introduced me to POWER STRIPS, which have given me so much relief when I need a little extra healing after a hard day. I put them on my sore joints and the heat that they produce lasts a few days! I’ve put them on my knees, shoulders, neck, and low back. It feels so wonderful! I will continue to go see Dr. Arnold for as long as possible. I’ve told many of my stunt colleagues about her and about her collaboration with the other doctors at progressive and many of them have become patients themselves. Dr. Rick’s acupuncture has helped me with injuries I had on my foot, and essentially blocked the pain that I was having with only a couple of sessions. The Prolozone Therapy has been a lifesaver as well. My knees haven’t felt this good and strong since I was a teenager! High five to all things progressive, and thanks for continuing to heal me! I can’t forget to mention Laura and the hard work she does back on the PEMF machine, which has also quickened my healing process after injuries. Thank you ALL!

Rebecca H

Dr. Arnold, I just wanted to say thank you for the work you are doing with me! When I started with you a couple of months ago, I could not remember what it felt like to walk without neck and back pain. This past weekend, however, I was able to walk with my husband at Stone Mountain again--hiking four miles on Saturday, five on Sunday, and a couple more to top it off on Monday. I can't tell you how happy that made both of us! I know we still have work to do, but you have given me hope. I thank God for leading me to you! Most Sincerely,

Karen C

All of these great reviews on here are not hype. It's all true!! I have been to chiropractors for most of my adult life. Mostly good experiences, some bad. But Dr. Arnold is by far the best I have ever been to. She cares about her patients, and her knowledge about the body, therapies, nutrition, etc...far surpasses any expectation. She is up to date on the latest research and therapies and you just get the sense that she strives for excellence. She has not only helped me with my alignment but has helped me with my overall health, and is knowledgeable about my conditions (Lyme's, mold toxicity, fibromyalgia, scoliosis) I highly highly recommend. Shes the best!

Karen B

After a rear end collision car accident over 4 years ago that totaled my car, injured my son and left me with debilitating left pain. Then being treated with prescription medication (Percocet) physical therapy for 6 months with no pain alleviation. I finally agreed to get a cortisone pain hip treatment from my orthopedic doctor at Resurgence Medical center which worked for several years. I am an avid recreational runner-running a minimum of 3 miles daily 4 days a week and participating in at least 3-4 1/2 marathons & 3-4 10k a year as well as teaching indoor cycling at Kennesaw State University, La fitness and Golds gym. However in 2013 the pain returned with a vengeance where I couldn't sit for longer than 10 minutes on the left hip, lay on my back without elevating the left leg @ a 90 degree angle. I also had to give up teaching spin because it aggravated the symptoms. Moreover while running I noticed that it started to affect my performance during running where the pain was no longer just in the hip but radiated down the left leg , around to the front of the left groin area and across the lower back. As a result after my morning runs I couldn't stand erect or sit for any period of time. I went back to my orthopedic & primary care doctors and their solution was to take pain medication and/or try the cortisone pain hip treatment again (which is never guaranteed to work & also has side effects). I knew this wouldn't work for me but I kept training for my 2nd to last race of the year the Silver Comet 1/2 marathon in October 2013. As I increased my mileage, the pain also increased. The pain got to where there were days where I worked from home on my back with my left leg elevated at a 90 degree angle. One morning driving to work I heard about Progressive Medical center integrated way of pain management on 104.7 the Fish and I decided to call. On my first visit I couldn't even sit to talk to the medical director I was in so much pain and they immediately got me over to Dr Melissa Arnold. Consequently where after telling her my story that I have never been to a chiropractor but that I needed help and had 3 conditions for me to agree-1). pain reduction, 2). no prescription medication and 3). being able to run again. and the rest as they would say is history. I went from a pain level of 11 on 1-10 scale to currently a 2 (1000% ROI) even after falling down the stairs at my home the 3rd week into treatment. Dr Arnold and Andrea are GOD Sends on my quest to be pain free & run again. Thanks Dr Arnold for all you do

Biomat Testimony: When I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, one of my leading issues was staying asleep at night. Night after night, I was waking up every two hours only to drift off to sleep and wake up again. Because my sleep was deprived, I found it very challenging to function the next day. I was always drained. I was irritable. I could not think clearly and I had no quality of life. I talked to Dr. Agolli about my sleep issues and he suggested that I try out the Biomat. At first, I didn’t quite comprehend how a Biomat would change my situation. However, I was willing to do anything to obtain rest. Once per week, I started using the Biomat in Dr. Arnold’s chiropractic area inside of Progressive Medical Center. Dr. Arnold not only explained how the Biomat can help to heal the body, she also shared how the Biomat helped transform her own life long sleep disorder. Because I had grown so accustomed to waking up at night, I still went to bed with the anticipation to have interrupted sleep. I will never forget the night I fell asleep, woke up, looked at my clock and realized that I had slept approximately 6 hours straight without waking up. This was a miracle!!!! As time traveled by, I was beginning to sleep longer and longer. Not only am I sleeping, I also feel GREAT when waking up in the mornings. I have more vitality and my mood is optimistic. The Biomat literally changed my life. I am totally persuaded that had it not been for the Biomat, I would not be experiencing the pleasures of life today. My family also noticed the improvements and they made it possible for me to become a proud owner of my very own Biomat. I have made the Biomat apart of my daily routine and I am still reaping the benefits.

I found out about Dr. Arnold in November 2015 while I was in the hallway of a medical facility and overheard her talking about adjusting pregnant women and babies. I was particularly interested because at the time I was 6 months pregnant. Unfortunately, my pregnancy was cut short soon thereafter due to preeclampsia, so I was never able to see her for an adjustment during it. However, I tracked her down and called her as soon as my baby came home after 7 weeks in the NICU. By this time, my baby was still less than 5 lbs. and had become unable to have a bowel movement on her own. Dr. Arnold worked so lightly and delicately on my tiny baby (with mostly her fingertips) to help align her spine and try to unblock her sigmoid colon. She also recommended an infant probiotic. With the combination of weekly chiropractic adjustments, daily probiotics, and immune boosting gut enhancement powder, my baby began pooping unassisted after only a few weeks and now goes regularly. In addition, I can see changes in the appearance of her skin and eyes, as she is brighter and healthier looking than before treatment. As of September 2016, she is now a happy, chunky, 9-month-old who has never had a single ear infection or illness. Her pediatric doctor is constantly amazed at her progress and how she is thriving, as am I!

Just about a year ago I reached out to Dr. Melissa. I had just got out of the hospital for the 5th time in a year. I was suffering from severe, debilitating anxiety and panic attacks as well as severe depression and suicidal ideations. I had tried just about every traditional medical treatment including 30 sessions of ECT (Electro Convulsive Therapy) with very little to no lasting results. I was desperate and had very little hope left. Dr. Melissa shared with me an alternative approach that I had not tried before. Instead of treating my diagnosed diseases and symptoms she told me she would do extensive tests to find out if my body functions were out of balance. And if any functional imbalances were found she could offer me safe and natural treatment options that could start helping my body function better. It made perfect sense so I gave it a try. Even before my test results were in she recommended some things to help my body heal and they immediately started helping. After only 6 weeks of being on her protocol the anxiety and depression went away completely and I was able to go back to work. Now, fast forward one year and I have zero anxiety and depression, my life is better then ever and those days of such horrible suffering seem like a distant dream. I am so tremendously grateful for all the loving help and guidance that Dr. Melissa gave to me, I feel that she gave me my life back. Thank you Dr. Melissa you are an amazing skilled and compassionate doctor and human being. Gratefully,

Dr. Arnold saved me almost instantly from severe neck pain after a car accident. When it took physical therapy almost 2 years and I still never fully recovered from a prior accident. She's also a fountain of wisdom from healthy eating to treating bacterial infections! She is incredibly in tune with the body and knows exactly what you need.
