Dr. Melissa provided Chiropractic treatment that quite literally saved my life. I came to her July 2024 with full body dysfunction, after sustaining an injury to my cervical spine and falling unconscious; post self-manipulation of my neck in May 2024.I spent countless days between May-July in and out of the Emergency Room and Dr. visits, while continuously being told they could not figure out why I was having so many issues.My symptoms included: inability to stand up straight, almost complete loss of range of motion when turning my head. Severe nervous system responses such as anxiety, increased heart rate while at rest and digestive issues. I developed extreme sensitivity to light and sound, headaches that felt like I was being struck by lightning, the inability to sleep and decreased ability to breathe on my own. An assortment of issues with my muscles also followed. Such as, not being able to engage muscles in my abdomen, pelvic floor, neck and back. The pain I felt daily was so severe that I could no longer work, or take care of myself and my mother had to fly to GA from CA to care for me.While the medical system continued to fail me; Dr. Melissa Briscoe-Lamarche's practice saved my life. Not only did she help but she expedited my appointment after hearing the severity of my symptoms. Within 24 hours of contacting her I had an intake examination completed, results reviewed, and my first adjustment.At the time of discovering Dr. Melissa online, I took it upon myself to receive multiple chiropractic consultations as I was not only scared but also unwilling to just let anybody manipulate my spine. Dr. Melissa, proved herself to be the most thorough; but she also made me feel the most seen, heard, and provided the 'safest space' out of all 3 Chiropractors I held consultations with. After completing treatment with Doctor Melissa, practically all of my symptoms have subsided.If her life saving treatment is not enough to convince you; lets talk about COST and value. I am a recent college graduate, with my first big girl job and a lot of debt. So the cost of service was a huge factor me.For a 12 week treatment, 3x per week, which includes: adjustments, guided exercises, exercise bands, a foam roller, a c-spine curvature correction device, and access to massage and heat therapy. Doctor Melissa's treatment was THOUSANDS of dollars CHEAPER in comparison to practices I held consultations with such as 100% Chiropractic and Atlanta Spine & Wellness.Thank you Doctor Melissa for not only treating me but for also helping me resolve other issues that I didn't know I needed help with; such as Vagus nerve stimulation, and DNS techniques to retrain my muscles to properly support my spine and proper breathing techniques.I appreciate you!Celeste T.
