Dr. Cal Melton, Jr., Owner
Triumph Sports & Wellness

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." - Thomas Edison.

Dr. Cal’s favorite quote truly speaks to the core of his professional beliefs and his guiding philosophy as a chiropractor. His patients are his focus, and their care is paramount. A Tallahassee native, Dr. Cal is a 13th-generation chiropractor who prides himself on the personal attention and total-body wellness offered through Downtown Chiropractic and Sports Development Center and Body Wisdom. He offers his patients a different paradigm for health and wellness by promoting natural healing with chiropractic care, therapy programs, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. By educating his patients, he aims to improve their quality of life.

Dr. Melton earned his Bachelor's of Biological Sciences degree from the Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida in the spring of 1997. He later received a Bachelor's of Science degree from the National College of Chiropractic in Chicago, where he also earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in August 2000. After working in Chicago, Dr. Cal returned to Tallahassee in 2000 and entered into practice with his uncle, Dr. Paul Grant. In January 2006, Dr. Cal opened Downtown Chiropractic and Sports Development Center at the Gold’s Gym facilities in Tallahassee and in January of 2008 opened his own standalone practice.

Callie Griffin, Business Manager
Triumph Sports and Wellness

Chiropractic care has always been a part of Callie’s life because it played such a vital role in the careers of her brother Dr. Cal and their relatives. She joined Downtown Chiropractic in January 2008, after having spent a few years raising her children. Before that she worked for The Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce as the President’s Assistant and then as the Programs Coordinator and Senior Executive Assistant to Commissioner Charles Bronson, Terry Rhodes and Bob Crawford. She believes firmly, as she learned growing up in a family of chiropractors, that quick fixes are not always the best; that medication cannot cure all; and that surgery is a last alternative. Every day, she watches Dr. Cal heal not only his patients but her children and herself – keeping them healthy. Callie graduated from FSU in 1990 with a degree in child development.
