Spinal joint restrictions can compress nerves, disrupting vital communication between brain and body. This interference may manifest as pain, headaches, digestive issues, or restricted movement.

As Chiropractors, we use precise, gentle techniques to restore proper joint function and relieve nerve pressure. When your nervous system functions optimally, your body can heal more effectively, movement becomes easier, and pain diminishes as your systems return to balance.

Chiropractic adjustments performed by specially trained and qualified practitioners are extraordinarily safe. A comprehensive clinical review analysing 250 published scientific articles examined potential adverse events associated with chiropractic care and found that serious side effects occur in only 1 in 2 million spinal adjustments—a safety record that far exceeds many common medical interventions and over-the-counter medications.

Chiropractic treatment offers numerous health advantages beyond just pain relief:

• Enhanced Joint Mobility - Restore natural range of motion and fluidity to restricted joints

• Reduced Pain and Discomfort - Experience significant relief from joint, muscle, and nerve pain

• Muscle Tension Release - Alleviate chronic muscle tightness and spasms that affect daily function

• Postural Correction - Address underlying alignment issues that contribute to pain and dysfunction

• Slowed Joint Degeneration - Help preserve joint health and potentially delay arthritic changes

• Accelerated Healing - Support your body's natural recovery processes through proper alignment and nervous system function

The benefits often extend beyond the immediate treatment area, contributing to overall wellness and quality of life.

Your initial appointment includes several key components:

1. Comprehensive Consultation - Dr. Tina will discuss your health history and current concerns in detail

2. Thorough Examination - A specialized assessment including physical tests and evaluation of spinal movement and posture to precisely identify problem areas

3. Personalised Treatment Plan - Dr. Tina will explain her findings and collaborate with you on an appropriate care strategy

4. Same-Day Treatment - Your first visit includes muscle release techniques and specific spinal adjustments to address restricted joints

5. Holistic Recommendations - Throughout your care, Dr. Tina will monitor your progress and may suggest lifestyle, ergonomic, and exercise modifications to support lasting results

This structured approach ensures we address not just your symptoms but the underlying causes of your condition.

Our approach is tailored to your specific condition and treatment goals. The cornerstone of our care is gentle chiropractic adjustments, precisely delivered to restore proper joint function. Depending on your needs, we may complement these adjustments with specialized soft tissue techniques:

• Joint Mobilization - Gentle, controlled movements to improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness

• Dry Needling Therapy - Targeted treatment for muscle tension and trigger points

• Hypervolt Percussion Massage - Advanced deep tissue therapy to increase circulation and release chronic tension

This integrated approach allows us to address both joint dysfunction and surrounding soft tissue issues for more complete relief and faster recovery.

Your treatment plan is highly individualized based on two key factors:

• Your Specific Condition - Acute issues may resolve in fewer visits, while chronic or complex conditions typically require more comprehensive care

• Your Health Goals - Whether you're seeking immediate pain relief or long-term wellness support

Some patients choose chiropractic as part of their ongoing preventive health routine with periodic maintenance visits to sustain optimal function. Others seek focused treatment for specific issues until symptoms resolve.

During your consultation, Dr. Tina will discuss your unique circumstances and preferences to create a personalised care plan that aligns with your objectives and timeline.

No referral is required to schedule chiropractic care with Dr. Tina. You can book an appointment directly without needing to see another healthcare provider first.

However, if you plan to claim through your medical aid, some insurance plans specifically require a referral from your network GP before covering chiropractic services. We recommend checking your policy details before your visit if insurance coverage is important to you.

Chiropractic care consistently ranks among the most cost-effective treatment options for musculoskeletal conditions. When comparing expenses to medical interventions, surgeries, or ongoing medication costs, chiropractic typically provides excellent value while addressing root causes rather than just managing symptoms.

Many patients find that their initial investment in chiropractic care leads to reduced long-term healthcare expenses and faster return to normal activities.

We offer three convenient payment methods:

1. Medical Aid We handle all authorisation with your medical aid directly. Please provide your complete medical aid details when booking. If your plan doesn't cover the consultation, we'll notify you before your appointment so you can decide whether to proceed with a cash payment.

2. Cash or Card We've designed flexible payment packages tailored to different needs and budgets. Each package includes specific treatment modalities based on your requirements. We accept both card and cash payments for your convenience.

3. Mediwallet Credit Option For those without medical aid coverage or who prefer payment flexibility, we offer ZeroPay—a medical credit facility allowing you to spread payments over 3 months without financial strain.
