Welcome to
North Shore Spine Sport
We provide in-person, in-home, or virtual appointments to empower you to overcome pain and injury.
We can accomplish this together by learning about your goals, comprehensively discussing your health history and the factors that led to your current situation, evaluating your current physical capacity relative to your injury/pain, and ultimately crafting a completely individualized plan of therapeutic services, strength/conditioning, mobility training, self-care strategies, and indefinite communication/support to put you back in control.
With early morning, evening, in-home, and virtual appointments available, we have strived to create every opportunity to help as many people as possible.
If you are hurting, fearful, frustrated, confused, or just need a team of people to advocate for you, please call us, it will be our pleasure to help you in any way we can.
Our Philosophy
Countless people that are injured or in pain are subject to rampant misinformation, excessive cost, overly complicated assessments, and ineffective treatment. At North Shore Spine and Sport our motto is “Recover and Adapt” as these words represent the core benefits of the Treatment services and Training services we offer.
After 10 years practicing in Boston, Dr. Melander decided to bring his unique blend of no-nonsense care to Newburyport and surrounding areas by founding North Shore Spine and Sport. At NSSS, our greatest pride is earned by helping you continue to do the things that matter most to you.
Our Approach
Personal Training & Chiropractic
Our Chiropractic, Personal Training, and Mobility services are geared toward people who have been injured or are in pain. The research on pain and injury overwhelmingly supports movement and exercise as essential to short and long-term improvement.
Unfortunately, countless healthcare providers advocate for a decrease in activity and exercise which often coincides with an increase in the fear, doubt, and fragility many people associate with pain and injury. At NSSS, we aim to break that cycle by first helping you RECOVER from your pain, and then help you ADAPT to a stronger, more mobile, more resilient human.
Dr. Melander has often described his chiropractic work as new-school rehab, which is to say, an amalgamation of current best practices regarding pain or injury management, hands-on manual therapy or strength/mobility training, and endless advocacy and support for his patients. If you are injured or hurting and not sure what to do, please reach out, it will be our greatest pleasure to help you.

Often referred to as an adjustment, joint manipulation is a means of influencing the range of motion in a restricted joint system.
