Dr Melanie Wallis, a Masterton chiropractor for nearly 20 years is well qualiÿ ed.

With eight years of study and three qualiÿ cations under her belt in physiology, anatomy, and chiropractic, her focus is on assisting you to achieve the best possible outcome in your health goal.

“I work with patients from the cradle to the grave,” Melanie says, “including babies, ACC injuries, sportspeople, older people, and pregnant women.”

With pregnant women, Melanie helps ensure the baby is positioned well and the pelvis is ready to go. Stress management is also important to Wallis Chiropractic.

“More people are anxious right now,” says Melanie.

“When we are under stress, we produce cortisol. In small doses, this is good for us. Too much cortisol, however, can make muscles sore and a° ect our nervous system.”

She works in a holistic way across the chemical, physical and emotional aspects of our wellness.

Not only does chiropractic address pain but patients often report also feeling more energised, sleeping better, and having increased concentration.

Crucial to Melanie’s work is getting to know us and our lives. She shares a rapport and a history with us that enables her to read our body language and recognise when she hasn’t got to the bottom of what’s going on.

Cultural sensitivities are important, and Melanie always talks through what she intends to do before she touches someone. She wants you to be an active participant in your health.
