Effective. Honest. No Pressure.

I offer honest, research-informed chiropractic care for people who want to move with more ease, recover faster, and feel less overwhelmed in their daily life.

I’m Dr. Melissa Miller—chiropractor, RN, and mom living a values-aligned life, centered around connection, simplicity and honoring my own needs, in addition to the needs of my family. I’m here to offer you honest care rooted in science, connection, and respect—for your body, your time, and your autonomy.

I have a home office in Brooktondale, NY, fifteen minutes east of Ithaca.

Let’s take this step together.

What I Help With

Chiropractic care supports the nervous and musculoskeletal systems—that means your nerves, muscles, joints, connective tissue and how they all work together to help you feel and function better.

Nervous System

How I work

✔ Evidence-Based

My approach blends chiropractic care, nervous system regulation, somatic practices and movement. It’s not “one-size-fits-all.” You’ll get care tailored to what your body needs.

✔ Scope-Aware

I’ll let you know when something’s beyond my scope. No hype, no false hope. Just honest guidance.

✔ Collaborative + Pressure-Free

We’ll come up with a plan together. Whether that’s a few visits or longer-term support, you’ll know exactly what I recommend, why, and what it will cost—up front.

✔ Pricing

I believe in keeping things simple, transparent, and respectful.

  • No surprise fees

  • No upsells

  • No “you need 3 visits a week forever” kind of talk

If cost is a barrier, reach out. I want care to be as accessible as possible, and we can usually find a way forward together.
