About Us

Welcome to North Shore Spine and Sport

At North Shore Spine and 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.
