5 Generations Strong
Born and raised in South Dakota, Dr. Melanie Schwietert grew up dreaming of being chiropractor. “My Dad would tell me about how each time his patients visited, their lives were changing because of their restored health and happiness. It was truly an incredible inspiration into a world of preventative health- one that I felt compelled to be a part of,” Dr. Melanie explains. “I love connecting with and supporting our community through chiropractic.”
The Schwietert legacy of chiropractic dates back to 1921, making her a 5th generation chiropractor. She’s honored and grateful to be able to continue helping patients find their health and live a passionate, purposeful life.
A Journey Toward a Career in Chiropractic
Dr. Schwietert attended Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota. She specializes in gentle, specific full-body adjustments and soft tissue work, rehabilitation exercises and athletic taping.
“It’s an incredible gift to be able help people feel better so they can get back to doing what they love most in life and have a positive impact on my community. Chiropractic is the love of my life, it’s truly my dream!”
Embracing Colorado
Dr. Melanie is thrilled to live in Colorado and is eager to help those who are passionate about leading an active lifestyle and maintain great health.
Dr. Schwietert, her husband and two children live in the West Denver area. With their two dogs, the active family enjoys the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Dr. Schwietert appreciates the little things in life from a wonderful cappuccino, to rock climbing, running, enjoying the crisp fall mornings and quality time loving on her kids.
A Personal Note
To me, TEMPL Health is a place to serve our community by facilitating health whilst living out my purpose as a 5th generation chiropractor. My clinical, yet soulful office allows me to show up with my highest intention to serve and uplift you, educate and encourage you to live an inspired life.
The verbiage “TEMPL” also serves as a reminder to treat our body as a temple, respecting that we were divinely created and our mind, body and spirit work together. The fragility of our health is one to be cherished as it is foundational to our life. When we honor our complete health, we have the power to adapt, grow and thrive.
Leah - Front Desk Rockstar
I truly love being part of the TEMPL Health family. Working alongside Dr. Mel and caring for our incredible patients is something I’m genuinely passionate about, and I take pride in helping create a warm, welcoming experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
I am married to my high school sweetheart, who proudly served in our military, and together we are raising our two wonderful children. Outside of work, you’ll usually find us spending time with family or supporting our kids and their passions – cheerleading and lacrosse keep us busy!
In my free time, I love cooking, especially recipes inspired by my big Italian family. I also have a deep love for decorating and styling our home. I take pride in creating a warm, welcoming, and comforting environment, and I carry that same intention into welcoming every patient who walks through the doors at TEMPL Health.
A Note from Dr. Mel
There are some people you simply can’t teach to care—and Leah is one of them.
From the moment she joined TEMPL Health, she understood that every patient walking through our doors is a person first, not just an appointment on the schedule. Whether she’s greeting you with a smile, helping answer questions, celebrating your progress, or making sure every detail is taken care of, she does it with genuine kindness and a servant’s heart.
I trust Leah completely because I know she cares for our patients the same way I would. She is organized, dependable, thoughtful, and has an incredible ability to make people feel comfortable the moment they walk through our doors.
TEMPL Health simply wouldn’t be the same without her, and I know you’ll quickly understand why she’s such an important part of our family.
Meet Moose
Chief Comfort Officer
Every great office needs someone whose only job is making people feel at home. Around here, that’s Moose.
Moose takes his role at TEMPL Health very seriously. Every morning he follows Dr. Mel to work, ready to greet each patient like an old friend. If you’re lucky, he’ll welcome you with his favorite bone, proudly show off his beloved Minnie Mouse toy, or quietly settle in by your feet while you relax.
He has an incredible way of knowing when someone needs a little extra comfort. Whether you’ve had a stressful day, you’re feeling anxious, or you simply need a reason to smile, Moose is always happy to lend his calming presence (and occasionally ask for a few ear scratches).
While he doesn’t adjust spines or interpret lab results, he’s an important part of the care we provide. His gentle spirit reminds us that healing isn’t just about treatments—it’s also about feeling safe, cared for, and seen.
If you see Moose during your visit, don’t be surprised if he decides you’re his newest best friend.
At TEMPL Health, we strive to help you with your health AND your life- we have an extensive referral network of trusted doctors and other professionals to help you with concerns beyond our scope.
