I did a BA with Psychology and Sports Science (HONS) Stellenbosch University, then a Masters Degree in Chiropractic in Johannesburg.
I started practicing in the UK for 2 years where I completed the requirements for the British Chiropractic Association.
It was in these 2 years where I went on to acquire a variety of different techniques as an adjunct to diversified (manual adjustments).
Reasons to see a Chiropractor
Headaches.
Neck stiffness.
Pain or limited range of movement, especially post whiplash injury.
Thoracic spine pain, rib restriction especially noticed with pain breathing on deep inspiration. Low back pain, stiffness, feeling out of sync or heavy.
Shoulder joint-pain, limited movement frozen shoulder, rotator cuff issues. Elbow-tennis and golfers elbow, joint pain or restriction. Wrist sprain, pain or dysfunction.
Hip joint, pain stiffness or dysfunction. Knee-tendinitis, meniscus issues, joint dysfunction. Ankle sprain, most people don't have this joint injury biomechanically corrected so remain predisposed to recurrent sprains.
Chiropractic care of the spine can be used reactively to feel better and improve symptoms, but regular treatment has huge benefits for joint health and mobility and neurological well-being. This can be every 4 to 12 weeks depending on each person's lifestyle and response to care.
