Direct answer
Melinda Griffin is licensed in Kansas as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and Kansas's chiropractic scope statute (K.S.A. §65-2871 (Kansas Healing Arts Act)) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Autoimmune Health, ADHD, Functional Medicine, root cause, solutions-based treatment plan, and gut and stomach issues, conditions that belong with rheumatologists and gastroenterologists. Those same pages route patients toward supplements and paid programs that Melinda Griffin profits from.
Key findings
- False Authority: The site uses 'Doctor' and 'Dr.' to imply general medical authority, but the license is Chiropractic (DC), which is limited to musculoskeletal care in Kansas.see section ↓
- Claim "functional medicine": mixed in the medical literature.see section ↓
- Claim "root cause, solutions-based treatment plan": mixed in the medical literature.see section ↓
- Melinda Griffin shows credential inflation relative to stated vs likely credentials.see section ↓
- Dr Melinda Griffin is marketed with a doctor title, but reviewed credentials indicate Chiropractor (DC) rather than an MD/DO physician license.see section ↓
- Against Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) scope rules (K.S.A. §65-2871 (Kansas Healing Arts Act)), these advertised activities appear outside Melinda Griffin's license (including conditions they merely list as ones they treat): Autoimmune Health, ADHD, Kids and Family ADHD…see section ↓
- 15 of 16 advertised activities fall outside permitted Chiropractor scope in KS.see section ↓
- Claim "gut and stomach issues": not supported by peer-reviewed evidence.see section ↓
Oh, look at Melinda, the 'Functional Health Chiropractic Doctor' who's totally redefining the DC scope by treating gut issues and fatigue like a general physician! She's got that sweet $225 'Spring Health Reset' to hook you in, then dumps you into a 6-month cash package filled with her favorite Fullscript and Designs for Health supplements. Who needs an MD when you can just 'find the root cause' with a chiropractor and a bag of pills? It's the perfect grift for anyone who thinks 'functional' means 'I don't have to follow the rules.'
