Three people. Small on purpose.

Elena opened Meridian in 2011 after four years in a high-volume practice where she saw sixty patients a day and had eight minutes with each of them. She left because she could not do the job properly at that speed, and she built this clinic around the opposite constraint.

She takes the cases other people have given up on — the second and third opinions, the ones with a folder of imaging and no clear explanation. Her particular interest is disc injury and radiculopathy, where the diagnostic reasoning is hardest and the consequences of getting it wrong are highest.

She is also the person on staff most likely to tell you that you do not need chiropractic care, and to hand you the name of someone better suited to your problem. She considers that part of the job rather than a loss of business.

Priya has been doing clinical soft tissue work for eleven years, nine of them in settings alongside chiropractors and physical therapists. She reads the doctor’s exam notes before every session, which sounds obvious and is not standard practice.

Her particular skill is finding the thing nobody mentioned. Patients come in for a shoulder and she notices the whole rib cage is not moving on that side, writes it down, and it changes the treatment plan that week.

She works with a lot of the collision caseload, where tissue is irritable and pressure has to be judged carefully. If you have been made sore by massage before and are wary of it, ask for her.
