Melissa Lindekugel, Office Manager, Massage Therapist
Melissa found her path as a massage therapist over 15 years ago. She worked many years in a chiropractic office where she was fortunate to work with doctors that believed in treating the body as a whole. She has experienced working with a wide range of clientele and a variety of health issues. In 2004, Melissa began studying Naturopathic Medicine because she wants to fill the gap between the health of the physical and spiritual body. Currently, Melissa is taking a break from school to manage Concordia Chiropractic Center along with her husband, Jason Lindekugel, DC; and spend as much time as possible with their children Elliot, 5 and Francis 2.
