Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Stephanie Melia, who serves patients in Marco Island, Florida.

Well-versed in the field of chiropractic, Dr. Melia sees patients at her private practice - Where Spines Align Chiropractic - alongside her husband, Dr. Justin Melia. She has a passion for chiropractic and caring for people in any stage of life. Not only is providing the best chiropractic care important to her, but also educating her patients about chiropractic and healthy living.

Where Spines Align Chiropractic is a family owned and operated office with state of the art chiropractic adjusting tables and therapeutic tools to care for each individual patient’s needs. Their 1,000 square foot office offers three treatment rooms and a spacious welcoming waiting room that provides the relaxing and fun beachy atmosphere of Marco Island.

Growing up in Midwest Michigan, Dr. Melia attended Grand Valley State University where she obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences in 2011. A few months later, she began her chiropractic journey at the Life University College of Chiropractic, where she met her husband. In the spring of 2015, she graduated Magna Cum Laude with her Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Life then took her to New Jersey, where she practiced as an associate for five years.

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery.

On a more personal note, Dr. Melia and her husband made their move to Marco Island in June 2020, and then welcomed their daughter, Viviana, in August. Living life as healthy and toxin-free as possible due to her extensive medical history as a three-time cancer survivor is very important to her. Her passion in toxin-free living includes personal care products, household products and cosmetics. She enjoys healthy foods, bike riding, walking, and hanging out at the pool or the beautiful beach.
