Melissa Carrick, D.C., President
Dr. Melissa Carrick is a second generation Chiropractor who brings a deep understanding of the integration of the human person to her patients. Prior to her Chiropractic career, Dr. Carrick obtained a masters degree in theological studies. It was through studying theology that she realized the extent to which healthcare so often separates the body from spiritual and mental health. Through this path, Dr. Carrick found NET, which is now an integral part of her practice. Dr. Carrick continues to avidly pursue new ways to help her patients experience greater health and wellbeing, completing extensive hours of continuing education every year, including studying laser, nutrition and functional medicine, and a certification in acupuncture. Her mission in practice is to support people to be more of who they are, and do more of what they love. Dr. Carrick practices in Baltimore, Md, and serves the greater Baltimore-Washington area at Carrick Health + Chiropractic.
