Dr. John Mellen, D.C. is a Chiropractor at Clift Farm

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. He attended Birmingham-Southern College where he obtained his Bachelor’s of Health Sciences. After graduating, he moved back to Atlanta to attend Life University and pursue his dream of becoming a chiropractor. He graduated in March 2023 with his Doctorate of Chiropractic and moved to Madison, AL to begin his career at The Joint Chiropractic.

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 discovery of the power of chiropractic care inspired him to become a chiropractor so that he could give back to the community by providing relief to patients so they can keep doing the things they love.

When asked what he loves most about working at The Joint Chiropractic, Dr. John responded “It feels like one big family.” He loves practicing at both our Madison and Decatur locations because they provide a variety of patients and different complaints. His favorite thing about being in the chiropractic field is helping people regain function and live to their fullest potential.

If Dr. John could have dinner with any four famous people, dead or alive, he would choose Bobby Jones, Bing Crosby, Hank Williams Sr, and Hank Aaron. 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.

We asked Dr. John what was the coolest thing he’s ever done, and why it was so cool. He responded that he lived on a remote island off the coast of Key West for two weeks. “We shark fished, built fires on the beach, and watched the sunrise every morning.” The only thing he missed on his trip was his favorite condiment, Tabasco, because “he likes it hot.”

He is married to his best friend, Frantina. They have two dogs, Ollie and Bentley. He has a long list of hobbies that include playing baseball, softball, golfing, sand volleyball, weight lifting, hiking, fishing, kayaking, and cooking.

When we asked what is the one thing in your fridge that you must have and why, Dr. Patrick responded, “Salsa, because it can be used in almost any dish, and it is something that my family has always kept in our fridge.”

If Dr. Patrick could have dinner with any four famous people, dead or alive, he would choose BJ Palmer, Steve Irwin, Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan – because they all reached the highest level of expertise and success, and he could learn so many lessons about life from them.

After graduating from Sherman College of Chiropractic in March 2023 with her Doctorate of Chiropractic, she moved to Madison, AL to begin her career at The Joint Chiropractic.

Dr. Teresa first became interested in chiropractic while practicing massage therapy. “As I was practicing massage therapy, I found that my clients got better, but tended to plateau. I eventually went back to school, shadowed a chiropractor, and realized that this was the missing piece to the care that I was giving to the world. It was a no-brainer that I needed to pursue a career as a chiropractic physician.”

Dr. Teresa states, “Being a chiropractor allows me to service the community without the use of drugs, surgery, or medicine. I believe that the body was designed to heal itself and we as chiropractors are blessed with the ability to realign the spine so that the body can do its best work.”

When asked what she loves most about working at The Joint Chiropractic, Dr. Teresa responded, “it brought me back to my roots.” She loves practicing at both our Madison and Decatur locations. “As a chiropractor, we do not need tools to achieve our number one goal.

In her spare time, Dr. Teresa enjoys drawing, reading, and volunteering with the youth. She also likes to coach sports, particularly volleyball and basketball.

If Dr. Teresa could have dinner with any four famous people, dead or alive, she would choose Gabrielle Union, Taraji P Henson, Maya Angelou, and Michelle Obama. “Of all the strong black women bibliographies that I have read, I resonated the most with theirs. They have stories that ALL brought me to tears, and I know that I could learn so much from these ladies as well as have a great time cutting a rug when the music drops!”

Dr. Andre McFarlane joined The Joint Chiropractic’s team of doctors in Decatur and Madison, AL in February 2024. After receiving his Bachelor’s in Biology from Eckerd College in 2019, Dr. Andre graduated from Palmer College in 2023 with his Doctorate of Chiropractic.

In his free time, he loves getting in a good workout, playing video games and going to the movie theater. He also enjoys working on cars and drives a 2020 Mustang.

Dr. Defalco knew becoming a chiropractor was her calling after she injured her back while playing basketball in middle school and was taken to see a chiropractor because of the pain she was in. “After one adjustment I was able to walk out of the office, and from then on I knew I needed to learn more about this profession and be able to help people like my Chiropractor helped me,” Dr. Defalco said. “One of the best things about being in the Chiropractic field is being able to improve people’s function and mobility.
