Jessica Kallio

Dean of Administration

Jessica’s previous clinical experiences include working as a clinical coordinator and staff chiropractor for the physical therapy and rehab operations of a highly successful neurology and integrated pain management clinic in southeast Georgia. The clinic served a patient base that ranged as far north as Savannah down to a large part of northeast Florida. A major segment of the patients were chronic pain sufferers, as well as personal injury or worker’s compensation cases. Additionally, her clinic treated cases that involved patients who were post-surgical, post-stroke, suffering from neurological disorders, and other complex diagnoses. Many of the cases the clinic encountered dealt with symptoms arising from radiculopathic or neuropathic pain processes.

Alternately, she has had extended involvement as a practitioner and practice owner in a multidisciplinary alternative health center. She offered chiropractic services and co-managed mutual clients with other practitioners in fields that included naturopathy, herbalism, reflexology, quantum biofeedback, ionic foot detox, neuromuscular therapy and counseling services; all within a retail storefront that specialized in public education about natural healing and high quality herb and supplement sales.

On an ongoing basis, she has marketed, demonstrated and promoted the sales of E.T.P.S. (electroacupuncture) devices to clinicians and patients, and assisted in training other health practitioners in their clinical applications. Additionally, she has had experience instructing fellow chiropractic students as a tutor at Life University, and worked as a lab assistant, instructing anatomy and physiology labs while working on her undergraduate degree at old dominion university.
