Physical Therapist
Dr. Jillian Porter
Chiropractor
Dr. Jillian Porter is a graduate of Logan University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, Doctorate of Chiropractic degree, and her Masters degree in Sports Science and Rehabilitation. She specializes in a variety of chiropractic techniques including Diversified, Thompson, Cox Flexion/Distraction, and more to help treat various musculoskeletal injuries in the spine and extremities. She also supplements chiropractic care with various muscle therapies like massage and dry needling to aid in the healing of musculoskeletal injuries when the body becomes over-stressed and over-strained.
Dr. Jillian is certified in Webster Technique, a specific technique for pregnant women that helps to balance the sacrum and pelvis for optimal alignment. This alignment allows room for baby to continue growing in utero and helps the mother prepare for the process of birth. Dr. Jillian has also trained in SOT (Sacro-Occipital Technique), which is a gentle adjustment technique focused on treating the nervous system via the relationship between the sacrum and the occiput (back of the cranium). This gentle technique is most effective in pediatric patients, specifically babies.
Dr. Jillian has a passion for helping people improve their lives through the natural means of chiropractic care. She has seen amazing results with chiropractic and can’t wait to share her knowledge with others on their journey to wellness.

Dr. Melissa Porter
Chiropractor
Dr. Melissa Porter is a graduate of Logan University where she earned her Doctor of Chiropractic and Masters of Sports Science and Rehabilitation degrees. After graduation, she moved to Denver, Colorado and practiced there for 2 years. After much consideration, she decided to join her sister in Louisville to be closer to family. She specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of athletic and sports-related injuries using various techniques. She also enjoys treating pregnant women and their children. In her free time, she likes to be outside when the weather is nice and spend as much time as possible with family.

When treating pregnant patients, Dr. Melissa uses Webster Technique, a technique taught by the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) and focused on treating the pregnant female. The Webster Technique is a chiropractic analysis and gentle adjustment of the sacrum. As with all chiropractic adjustments, our intent is to improve the nervous system so the body can function better. As with all sacral adjustments, pelvis balance is improved. A balanced pelvis reduces undue tension in the attached muscles and ligaments. In pregnant women, if the pelvis is not balanced, the uneven pulling on these muscles and ligaments may be restricting the baby’s ability to get into the best possible position for birth.
