Meet Our Friends & Family Spinal Care Staff

Practice Manager/Financial Chiropractic Assistant

Born in Bronx, New York, Jo moved to Florida at the age of 9. Growing up, she was always passionate about health and fitness; it all started with dance. She began dancing ballet at age 2 and stopped at age 20 when her medical career began.

Jo has been in the medical field for over 15 years and in management for 10 years, maintaining a high degree of organization in a fast-paced environment. Her specific training includes but is not limited to insurance training and certifications in electronic health records.

A Passion for Helping Others

Jo developed an interest in learning natural approaches to healthcare when her mom was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. “Helping people get the care they need to live their best life, and seeing patient transformations is so rewarding.” She also enjoys being that kind soul that people in pain need.

In Her Spare Time

When she’s not working, Jo enjoys spending time with her family-her high school sweetheart husband and their two sons. The family likes to hang out at the pool and go to the beach. Jo particularly enjoys watching her sons play soccer and baseball.

The family spends much of their time at local parks. “It is very important to me that my family remains healthy and clear of interference so we can keep up with all their activities.” Jo also loves shopping with friends.

Since she joined Friends & Family Spinal Care, NUCCA chiropractic has helped Jo with her back pain, headaches, and overall immunity.

Appreciating the Power of Chiropractic

Everything in the body is interconnected, and the nervous system is its control center.” Though she’s relatively new to chiropractic, Maly has quickly come to realize how important it is. “Chiropractic care helps all systems operate at an optimum level so that the body can help heal itself and improve function.”
