Dr Emily Haylock-Jordan

Emily is an RMIT graduate with over 10 years experience. Emily’s chiropractic journey began when she was about 5 years of age, after moving next door to a chiropractor. She reaped the benefits from chiropractic care from a young age, keeping her healthy and functioning well through her intense tennis training schedule. Prior to becoming a chiropractor Emily played tennis professionally and maintaining chiropractic care was a high priority for optimising her peak performance. Due to her sporting background, Emily has an interest working with athletes to increase
performance and assist them with injury treatment and prevention.

Emily enjoys learning and furthering her knowledge on a regular basis. After a few years in practice she completed a 2-year diplomate program in pregnancy and paediatric chiropractic. Emily enjoys supporting women through pregnancy and working with children to help them maintain strong healthy spines and nervous systems as they develop.

Emily also enjoys supporting and giving back to the chiropractic profession. She has worked on the Chiropractic Association of Australia board as an executive member, performed research reviews and lectured to graduating students over the years. Outside of practice Emily loves spending time with her husband and 3 year old daughter, and catching up with family and friends. Living a healthy lifestyle has always been a priority in Emily’s life. Therefore she is very committed in assisting people to achieve their full potential.
