The Joint Chiropractic - Apex

Matt Myschisin II D.C. is a Chiropractic physician in Apex, North Carolina. He obtained his Bachelor's degree in Biology at Allegheny College in 2012 and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic, Florida Campus in December 2015.

Dr. Matt employs many different adjusting techniques based on individual needs which include the Palmer Package, Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson, and Instrument Adjusting.

Dr. Matt’s first experience with chiropractic was in high school through friends and family who had regularly seen Chiropractors. After seeing them get better without having to take medication he decided to also go and see one. After his first adjustment he had the stiffness that he had been experiencing from football and hockey disappear almost overnight. From then on he wanted to be the one to do that for other people.

In his free time Dr. Matt enjoys reading at home or catching up on the latest recommendations of shows from his friends. He also participates in Krav Maga and is getting ready to test for his 2nd advanced placement test.

My Name is Dr. Mark Saletnik. I am a licensed chiropractor who has been in practice about 15 years here in the great state of North Carolina . Originally I am from Massachusetts but consider North Carolina my home now.

I knew chiropractic was the career path i wanted to take when many many years ago my girlfriend hurt her back pretty significantly and modern medicine did not give her any long lasting significant relief. It was her visits to a chiropractor, visits that I attended, that took care of her low back pain. I was hooked.

I graduated from life University in Georgia where my desire for the field really took off being educated by very bright instructors and took classes with fellow students that were as excited as I was to deliver this care to the public.

Throughout the 15 years I have blessed to treat many types of spinal injuries stemming from acute care from car accidents, slips and falls to overall wellness and maintenance. Over the years I have learned several techniques geared to the specific need.

I am married to a beautiful woman named Samatha and we have a cute little dog named Tanzi. On my down time I like to paint, draw , and create glass pieces. I also like to cook.
