Dr. Megan D. McConnell

Meet Dr. McConnell

Dr. Megan D. McConnell, M.S., D.C. is a chiropractor at Benicia Wellness Center. She has strived to build a practice that demonstrates health and happiness can be achieved outside of the paradigm of traditional health narratives. For more than 20 years, she has pursued additional training and certification in a wide variety of whole-patient, evidence-based approaches & modalities that she has integrated into her chiropractic treatments. She utilizes several different chiropractic methods, including the Graston Technique® and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), to tailor her treatments to each patient. She’s found that simply pausing and listening to patients’ experiences is often the first time they feel heard, and it allows her to provide a more customized treatment plan, maximizing sustained relief. 

Dr. McConnell graduated summa cum laude from San Francisco State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in 1996 while she completed the science-based prerequisites for chiropractic school. In 2001, she graduated summa cum laude from Life Chiropractic College West with a Doctorate of Chiropractic. Her educational pursuits continue throughout her career. She earned her most recent degree, a Master of Science in Human Factors and Ergonomics, from San Jose State University in 2014.

Dr. McConnell’s two decades of clinical experience and her and her family’s personal health journeys have informed her care philosophy -- practicing patient-centered care, providing patient education, and encouraging a health partnership between her and her patients is a vital priority.

Dr. McConnell and her wife, Jenna, have two sons. Their family loves to explore the world on adventurous trips on school breaks and indulging in any musicals they can get tickets for. During the winter weekends, Dr. McConnell and her wife can be found on the slopes of Tahoe being out-skied by their kids.
