Dr. Nixia Jordan loves her role at The Joint Chiropractic and providing local healthcare services to more than one clinic location, Clift Farms in Madison, and Decatur. Dr. Jordan is from Tucson, AZ but was raised by her grandparents in Jackson, MS. She attended Xavier University of Louisiana where she received her bachelors of science. Following Xavier, she later earned her doctorate of chiropractic at Life University in Marietta, GA.

Dr. Jordan has had first-hand experience with chiropractic care. “I’ve suffered from headaches since I was 9 years old,” she says. “After going to the pediatrician and neurologist for help, the doctors would just prescribe Ibuprofen 800mg to manage the headaches. It wasn’t until I was adjusted with Toggle, an upper cervical technique, that I felt true relief from my headaches and was able to stop taking Ibuprofen.” Dr. Jordan states, “That is why I believe that chiropractic adjustments work” and she is dedicated to finding the origin of your pain, instead of masking it with medications. She says, “Put your atlas in my hands”. The atlas is the first bone in the spine and when misaligned it can cause numerous problems.

Dr. Jordan knew she wanted to pursue a field in healthcare. As a child, she wanted to be a psychiatrist because she loves talking to people. After exploring graduate school options, she decided to go to chiropractic school. She recalls her first chiropractic philosophy lecture, in which her professor stood front and center in the lecture hall and stated, ‘The power of the body heals the body.’ It was then that Dr. Jordan realized that chiropractic was her calling. She says, “It felt like God was speaking directly to me, reassuring me that I had made the best decision by choosing a field that had a holistic approach.”

She enjoys being active with her two kids while doing things outdoors like hiking, visiting playgrounds, and playing soccer. She also likes swimming in the summer, reading in the winter, and plans to take up tennis and join a book club.

In Case You Didn’t Know

If she could bring together any four people from history together for her ideal dinner party, Dr. Jordan would set places at the table for author Maya Angelou, activist Harriet Tubman, entertainer Oprah Winfrey, and Saint Katherine Drexel and Sisters of Blessed Sacrament, “the founder of my alma mater, Xavier University”, she says. This would be the perfect dinner party because we could speak about politics, religion, and literary works from different time periods. We could also speak about the trials and tribulations that African American women have suffered in the past, and in what ways we can improve our conditions today -- using the wisdom from the past to help shape the future.

The doctor says the one thing she always keeps stocked in her refrigerator is “honey maple glazed turkey breast cut thick, and mustard, because this is a perfect anytime snack -- and my kids love it too.”

Dr. Joannys Lorenzo-Roman joined The Joint Chiropractic – Clift Farm and Decatur, AL locations in 2022.

Dr. Jo was raised in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. She received her Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training from the University of Puerto Rico. In 2022 she graduated with her Doctorate in Chiropractic, as well as Master of Science in Sports Science and Rehabilitation from Logan University.

Dr. Jo says that the best thing about being a chiropractor is helping her patients restore mobility and to help them continue doing things that they love pain free. She also loves educating patients so they can better understand their bodies and how chiropractic care improves their everyday life.

When asked what she loves about working at The Joint locations in Madison, AL and Decatur, AL, she replied “because we treat the body as a whole by providing manual manipulations to stimulate the nervous system to heal itself.”

Dr. Jo loves going to the gym, hiking, biking, and flipping houses with her fiancé. The five dogs, one Shih Tzu, two rescues, and two Australian Shepherd.

If she could pick any four famous people, living or dead, to have the perfect dinner party, Dr. Jo would pick Milly Alcock, Matt Smith, Emilia Clarke, and Olivia Cooke. When asked why, she said “because I am a hardcore fan of Game of Thrones and House of Dragon.”

In Case You Didn’t Know

When asked what the coolest thing she has ever done, Dr. Jo replied “When I was 22, I moved to the states by myself not knowing the culture or dialect. But I came with a dream to become a doctor.” After two years of living in the states, she started chiropractic college. “Completing graduate school and chiropractic school at the same time was the biggest accomplishment in my life. This has made me a strong independent woman and for that I am grateful.”
