Pediatric chiropractic care in Hawthorn

Dr. Emmily Micallef

Dr Emm (as she’s affectionately known to her patients) graduated with Distinction from a Masters in Clinical Chiropractic in 2011 with a passion for advancing the health of children and those with neurological issues.

Emm has expanded her knowledge in both these areas with further training in NIS (Neurological Integrative System) and tutelage in a plethora of paediatric programs over many years.

Dr Emm has a particular clinical interest in treating babies and expecting mothers, but also loves working with entire families. Dr Emm continues to demonstrate her passionate and committment to her craft, as she assists RMIT University with training students in their final years of study.

It is very obvious how much Dr Emm loves her job - you always hear laughter coming out of her room.
