Originally from Maine, Dr. Medel has traveled across the United States to practice chiropractic in the Bay Area. She came to the West Coast in 2002 to complete her Bachelor of Science degree and study chiropractic in Portland, Oregon. While in school, she met her husband whose family lives in the Bay Area. After graduating Magna cum Laude from Western States Chiropractic College, in June 2006, Dr. Medel moved to the East Bay to be closer to her new family.
While in school, Dr. Medel focused on several areas of chiropractic. She is most interested in integrative medicine; working with other healthcare professionals as part of a wellness team focused on improving the lives of patients. She specializes in nutrition counseling and supplementation, women’s healthcare and in postural re-education.
Dr. Medel believes in treating the whole patient. Her background in psychology provides a unique perspective, allowing her to evaluate emotional and physical stressors contributing to a patient’s condition; everything from spinal and foot biomechanics to sleep disturbances and previous injuries is taken into account when determining the best course of treatment. This approach allows her to work with the patient to treat the root causes of the patient’s condition and alleviate it once and for all.
When she is not at Chiro-Health, Dr. Medel is teaching allopathic medical classes at a local acupuncture college. She finds that teaching keeps her knowledge sharp and allows her to stay up-to-date on advances in alternative healthcare. She also spends time at local events and office buildings, helping to educate the public on what chiropractic is and how the doctors of Chiro-Health can work as part of the community’s healthcare team.
Dr. Medel is excited to be working with Chiro-Health to serve the Bay Area community.
