Dr. Melanie Carr was born and raised in the local area but made a life changing leap of faith to go into the chiropractic field at the age of twenty-six. Moving away from her home and support system and relocating with her two young children to Georgia to attend what was explained to her as the best chiropractic school in the nation, there were those who said she was crazy.

Still, Dr. Carr had discovered her passion and her calling. From a young age Carr can recall always wanting to help people and animals, joking she was always bringing home tiny injured creatures to nurse back to health as a child. Carr had worked in many fields but it was a fated afternoon while working for a chiropractic group out of West Chester that helped her define her life’s work.

Balancing her studies, work and children was no easy feat and at times Carr wondered if she would make it through. It was the great love of her parents, children and family in the end that helped her to realize and achieve her goals. Her daughter who was at the time, younger than five, would say, “Momma go study so you can be a doctor.”
