Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Melissa Kroll.
Hi Dr. Melissa, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I was drawn to chiropractic because it gave me a way to help others thrive naturally and holistically, by supporting the body’s ability to function and heal on its own. I graduated from chiropractic school at 29 with a clear vision of the kind of doctor I wanted to be. During school, I attended seminars beyond the standard curriculum, learning techniques like frequency medicine, Quantum Neurology, Neuro Emotional Technique, Applied Kinesiology, and more. I knew I wanted to treat the whole person, not just one symptom.
After graduation, I looked at joining established practices, but none felt like the right fit, so I decided to build my own. I traveled to different states looking for a place that matched my values and finally landed in Charleston, South Carolina, the last stop on my list. I moved there knowing no one and opened my practice at the same time.
I started small, seeing virtual patients from home and sharing a room with another chiropractor a few days a week. Within six months, I had my own space. Instagram helped me reach people far beyond my local area, and happy patients kept referring their friends and family.
When it was time for the next step in my journey, I moved to Tennessee to be closer to family and to live in a state that matches my values. Today, I’m in a new office in Brentwood, seeing patients in person and virtually around the world, and sharing with a growing community on Instagram. I’m still learning, still growing, and still loving what I do.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No, it hasn’t always been a smooth road, but every challenge has shaped who I am as a doctor.
Starting my own business in a brand-new state, where I didn’t know a single person, was a huge leap. I had no local network, no local referral base, and no one to lean on nearby. I had to build everything from the ground up, both the practice and a life in a new place, while wearing every hat in the business.
During my second year in Charleston, SC, I faced a personal health battle. I was living in a home with black mold and developed mold toxicity. I was sick, yet still showing up for my patients every day and pushing through to keep my practice growing. It was one of the hardest seasons of my life.
Looking back, that experience gave me something invaluable: a deeper understanding of what my patients go through. I know what it feels like to not feel well, to search for answers, and to keep going anyway. Living in the South, where humidity makes mold so common, many of my patients come to me looking for help with mold-related illness. Because I’ve lived it myself, I can offer them not just clinical support but real understanding and insight. Healing my own body made me even more passionate about helping others find the root cause and get their lives back.
The struggles didn’t stop me. They strengthened my purpose.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My practice is built around one belief: the body is designed to heal itself. The world we live in adds so many stressors that the body often needs extra support, and when you give it what it needs, it can truly thrive. As a holistic chiropractor, I use frequency medicine and muscle testing to uncover the root cause of what’s happening in the body, whether it’s structural, nutritional, emotional, or neurological.
I’m known for helping the people who have “tried everything.” Many of my patients come after seeing doctor after doctor without answers. I work with adults and children, and I have a special heart for mold-related illness, gut health, emotional stress, and kids who are behind on developmental milestones. I also love working with people who aren’t necessarily sick but want to feel and perform their best, from athletes to those focused on personal growth and long-term wellness.
What sets me apart is that I combine many techniques in one visit, including chiropractic, Quantum Neurology, primitive reflex integration, Neuro Emotional Technique, functional nutrition, Applied Kinesiology, and laser and light therapy. Instead of a one-size-fits-all plan, every patient gets care built around their own body.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud of the trust I’ve built, both with my patients and with my Instagram community, where I share free education to help people take charge of their health.
I see patients in person in Brentwood, Tennessee, and virtually anywhere in the world. You don’t have to live with symptoms you’ve been told are “normal.”
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
I believe the next 5 to 10 years will bring a major focus on the nervous system. Nervous system regulation is a big deal, because the stressors of modern life have such a huge impact on it. Stress, unresolved emotions, chemical toxins, EMFs, processed foods, glyphosate, and more all add up. We live in a fast-paced world, and our bodies often struggle to keep up with everything weighing on them. More people are starting to realize that when the nervous system is overwhelmed, the whole body feels it, and that supporting it is key to true healing.
The biggest shift I see is toward frequency medicine. I truly believe it’s the future. Everything in the world has a frequency. We’re all made up of atoms, and every atom resonates at its own frequency. When we pay attention to each person’s individual frequencies, we can understand what their body needs on a much deeper level.
That’s what individualized care really means. The future of health isn’t about one-size-fits-all protocols. It’s about listening to each unique body and giving it the support it needs to regulate, restore, and thrive.
