Dr. Michelle Fehmel has been practicing since 2004. Having recently moved to the area with her family, she is very excited to join the extremely talented team as Principled Chiropractor and Nutrition Expert at The Spa on Green Street.
Over the past 13 years, Dr. Michelle has been fortunate to have treated literally thousands of patients, from infants to Olympic athletes. She has found that the patients who had the best results were those who best understood how their bodies works. That is why in her office, helping her patients discover this is paramount, where learning begins on the very first day. She also likes to make the process fun, by inviting her patients to interactive Nutrition Workshops, and Recipe Nights held throughout the year.
Since graduation Dr. Michelle has taken a series of advanced trainings in state-of-the-art spinal correction techniques. Instead of just adjusting individual vertebrae, Chiropractors are now taught to look at the spine as an entire unit. If we move individual segments, but ignore, for instance, a loss of a cervical curve, then degeneration and aberrant nerve function continues. In her experience, this diminished or loss of a cervical curve is almost always associated with Forward Head Posture.
Forward Head Posture has become an epidemic with our multitude of daily forward-facing activities including; computer use, driving, texting, watching tv, as well as many professions with frequently required head down postures. “Text Neck” has now become an actual condition, most predominantly seen in our children and teens.
“For every inch of forward head posture, it can increase the weight of the head on the spine by an additional 10 pounds.” Kapandji, Physiology of Joins, Vol. 3
Our spines our perfectly designed for normal standing posture, made up of a series of 3 curves. When these curves are intact it leads to an increase in spinal strength, 16 times greater than that of a straight column. Your spinal cord, housed in your spinal column, benefits by running most efficiently with curves intact. Loss of any of these curves, as seen with abnormal posture, stretches the spinal cord and diminishes blood supply.
“Abnormal posture can also cause alterations in some of our most basic physiological processes leading to symptoms like:… headaches, spinal pain, blood pressure problems, mood changes, and diminished lung capacity.” Postural and Respiratory Modulation of Autonomic Function, Pain & Health. AJPM Vol 4. No 1 January 1994.
The goal of Dr. Michelle’s unique techniques is to bring the body back to its optimum mechanical and neurological state. She not only does this through specialized adjustments, but also with the use of advanced tools and spinal rehabilitation exercises.

Dr. Michelle is also part of the Myovision network of providers, where she utilizes the revolutionary Myovision sEMG Technology developed by a NASA scientist for detecting dysfunctions with the nervous system. The E-Scan allows the patient to actually see what is happening with his or her spine and nervous system on their very first visit.
