Dr. John Mellen joined our team in May 2023 at The Joint Chiropractic - Clift Farm and The Joint Chiropractic - Decatur AL. Dr. John was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Dr. John first became interested in the field of chiropractic during high school. During his baseball seasons, he began having severe back pain due to a spinal disorder. Chiropractic care was the only treatment that helped alleviate his pain and allowed him to keep playing. By receiving consistent chiropractic care, he was able to continue his baseball career in high school and even played in college.

His favorite thing about being in the chiropractic field is helping people regain function and live to their fullest potential.

Being a former baseball player, he would love to discuss the love of the game and how the game has evolved over time. Hank Williams Sr is one of his favorite singers and a native Alabamian. Dr. John would love to listen to Hank play his music and talk about the journey of his career.

Dr. Yalitzaly “Yali” Ramos, DC joined our team in March 2026 at The Joint Chiropractic – Clift Farm and Decatur, AL. Originally from Isabela, Puerto Rico, Dr. Yali brings a passion for natural healing, patient education, and whole-body wellness to the communities she serves.

Dr. Yali attended the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with an emphasis on health sciences and human behavior in 2013. Her passion for understanding how the mind and body work together led her to pursue a career in chiropractic. She later attended chiropractic school, graduating in 2023 with her Doctor of Chiropractic degree, and began practicing in the Atlanta, Sandy Springs, and Marietta, Georgia areas before joining The Joint Chiropractic team in Alabama.

Dr. Yali discovered her calling to chiropractic while working at Circo Nacional de Puerto Rico, a nonprofit organization that serves communities through movement and creative workshops. During that time, she realized she wanted to help people on a deeper level through health and healing. After visiting chiropractic school, she knew she had found the perfect path. As she explains, “It felt like an extension and the next level of the work I was already doing—helping people improve their lives through movement and wellness.”

When asked what she loves most about being a chiropractor, Dr. Yali says, “I love being able to serve as a conduit in the restoration of health by supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and by addressing the root cause rather than the symptoms.” She also enjoys helping patients better understand their bodies and take an active role in their healing journey. “I enjoy educating and empowering patients so they can participate in their own health and wellness.”

Dr. Yali enjoys working at The Joint Chiropractic in Madison and Decatur because of the welcoming environment and the strong sense of community. She appreciates the vibrant surrounding area, the many nearby businesses and restaurants, and especially the kindness of both her coworkers and the patients she serves every day.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Yali enjoys hiking with her husband and their two dogs, Loki and Tokyo, spending quality time with her son, attending church, and working on stained glass projects. Her husband is also a chiropractor, and the two met while attending chiropractic school together.

If Dr. Yali could host the perfect dinner party, she would invite Jesus Christ, Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, and Walt Disney. She admires Jesus for His revolutionary love and example of service, Mother Teresa for her compassion and dedication to helping others, Princess Diana for her humility and ability to connect with people from all walks of life, and Walt Disney for his perseverance and creativity despite facing hundreds of rejections before building a legacy that inspires millions.

In Case You Didn’t Know

When asked what the coolest thing she’s ever done is, Dr. Yali says it was marrying her husband, because “I get to live with my best friend forever.” And if you ever look in her refrigerator, you will always find ice cream, because, as she says, “You never know when you might need it.”

Dr. Yali is passionate about helping patients improve their spinal health, mobility, and overall wellness through chiropractic care. She looks forward to serving patients at The Joint Chiropractic in Madison and Decatur, Alabama, and helping them live healthier, more active lives.
