I've been providing Chiropractic and holistic care to individuals and families in the Collingwood area since 2002. During this time I've had the amazing opportunity to meet and care for incredible people. The results I've seen make me love what I do more and more with every passing year. Above all, health comes from within the body, and everyone can benefit from a healthy spine.
You deserve a thorough assessment and consequently to have everything explained to you. As a result, we can create the right plan to meet your current level of health and goals for care. Health care should be an interactive experience between Doctor and Patient, and collaborative with other professionals.

Misalignments in your spine, called subluxations, cause muscle imbalances, joint irritation, inflammation, pain, and weakness. More importantly, spinal subluxations impact your spinal cord and impair healthy neurological function. Chiropractic adjustments correct subluxations in your spine, restoring proper joint movement, balancing your muscles and nervous system, and improving your overall health!
Step 1: An Intensive Health Assessment which includes a complete consultation, health history, flexibility testing, a postural assessment, orthopedic and neurological evaluation, and X-Ray images if Dr. Longo feels they are necessary. Step 2: A clear, comprehensive explanation of what was found with recommendations for an appropriate course of care that suits you.
I started Chiropractic care quite a few years ago because I suffered from migraines. I decided that I just couldn't keep on dealing with pain and how my headaches were controlling my life. I moved to Collingwood and didn't have a Chiropractor. I got a recommendation to see Dr. Melissa. Right off the start I knew she was the right choice.
Chiropractic care can bring better health to every member of your family. Collingwood Chiropractor, Dr. Melissa Longo, serves people of all ages at Thrive Chiropractic & Holistic Care. Many people think chiropractic is restricted to serving adults and injured athletes. That could not be further from the truth.

I was hesitant for so long about going to a chiropractor. I finally made the leap and I am SO glad that I did. Dr. Longo has supported me in regaining more movement, energy, and health that I didn’t know I was lacking. If you are on the fence like I was, I strongly recommend going for it. It was change your life for the better!

I go to Dr. Melissa to stay out of a wheelchair & pain. During our first lock down Chiropractic was not considered essential. I hadn't seen a Chiropractor for 3 months. I could barely walk, my pain level was at 15. When was able to seek Chiropractor care my pain went from 15 down to 3 within a couple of weeks.
Chiropractic care is essential, yes it's not covered by benefits. Think of the life you could have if your body was working at 100%.

Melissa and her practice have been an incredible blessing to myself and my husband! Her quality of care is unlike any other professional I have dealt with. She authentically cares and supports all areas of my health and wellness, and has been an amazing resource and wealth of knowledge to continue to take really great care of myself. I am SO grateful for her keen nature, and her ability to tune into my body and support me as needed!

I can’t say enough great things about Melissa and her practice. I have experienced significant relief with a nagging shoulder problem I have had for many years, so much so that my whole family now attends her clinic and benefits from her adjustments. Her clinic is inviting, her approach is empowering, and I feel very grateful to have her and her knowledge to encourage my family to be the healthiest possible versions of ourselves.

Well, I’ve been going to Thrive Chiropractic for just over a year now. Every visit with Melissa has me noticing results, whether it is helping to recover from a sports injury, or to do adjustments that help improve my posture and well being, with attention to every little detail. I have to say she’s one of the best chiropractors in the area and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anybody, and will continue to go back.

Dr Melissa is absolutely wonderful & has helped our family tremendously. She treats both my husband & I as well as our toddler, and her practice is such a welcoming and warm environment for our family. Our daughter looks forward to her adjustments, and we notice a HUGE difference in her recovery time whenever she comes down with a bug. Dr. Melissa's no-nonsense and holistic approach has really fostered our confidence that our bodies are designed to heal itself. ❤ We highly recommend Dr. Melissa Longo for both adult and child chiropractic care. We are very grateful to have her in our lives!

The practice of chiropractic care is often misunderstood or appreciated. It can be much more than just fixing bad backs. Its about alignment from toe to head and your overall well being, including sleep, energy flow, brain stimulation and more. Dr Melissa Longo has a unique positive approach and is certainly worth checking out.

DR. Melissa has been treating myself and my young daughter for almost a year. She is caring, compassionate and very knowledgeable. My chronic back pain has been reduced and my posture has improved. My daughters physical issues have improved under her care. Highly recommend Dr. Melissa for family chiropractic care.

I truly believe Melissa is one of the reasons we have one of the happiest toddlers around. Being a new mom I am always searching for ways to help my child develop and grow into a healthy and well balanced little human. With Melissa's help and taking my daughter to see her regularly, she is far exceeding my expectations. Melissa is always giving… advice and continually supporting the many decisions we have to make as parents. She will listen intently to questions and concerns and always explain what her thoughts are. Thanks Melissa for always giving me that little extra encouragement when
