North Coast Chiropractic

General information

I grew up in East London in South Africa and I studied my masters degree in chiropractic at the Durban institute of Technology. I completed my degree in 2002 and did locums around SA for a year to gain experience and to travel. I then moved to Newquay, Cornwall in 2003. I am an associate chiropractor at the clinic and I have enjoyed it so much that my travel stint has become permanent and I am lucky to be raising my family in the South West.

I would consider myself to be a diligent, experienced, and responsible professional. I try to live and work with as high a degree of integrity as possible.

I have a very wide range of interests including many outdoor pursuits (surfing, tennis, kayaking, and radio controlled gliders). I have been a member of the Heron’s tennis club for many years and play team matches regularly.

My work life is very much in the same vane in that I try and take as broad approach to patient care and health as possible (diversified technique). After a thorough history, examination and review of findings treatments may include:
Soft tissue therapies
Chiropractic joint adjustment & mobilisation techniques
Dry needling/acupuncture
Strapping (including Kinesio tape)
Advice
Home therapies
Corrective/rehabilitation techniques and Exercises.

Many conditions which patients have that we treat are multifactoral in origin and each patient and their circumstances are unique. Therefore having many different “tools in the toolbox”, so to speak, gives patients a greater chance of a quick recovery that is also importantly, sustainable.

We are primary care physicians that help importantly to find a correct diagnosis and offer a wealth of complementary options for general health and wellbeing that may be affecting and contributing to your condition.

I very much try to take as evidence based approach to the care of my patients as much as possible using proven methods of care that are tailored to each person.

In order to achieve the best results and to be able to show genuine care for our patients health and wellbeing treatment times are 20 minutes and initial consultations are 40 minutes. It is not a high volume practice. We do have x-ray facilities and patients are referred for x-rays when necessary.

I'm confident you'll enjoy our warm and positive environment and I/we welcome you to make a booking.
