Dr Sonja Kneppers – Chiropractor at Back In Motion Randburg

About Dr Sonja Kneppers

Dr Sonja Kneppers is a dedicated chiropractor with a deep passion for providing care to both adults and children. She completed her chiropractic studies at the University of Johannesburg, graduating in 2004 with a focus on chronic low back pain. Her Masters dissertation, which explored the effects of chiropractic adjustments on the quadratus lumborum (QL) muscles, sparked her interest in treating ongoing back pain.

After discovering the importance of maintaining long-term relief from low back pain, Dr Kneppers extended her practice to focus on treating babies and children. Since 2007, she has worked with other professionals to enhance her skills in this specialised field, and today, the majority of her patients are under the age of two. Dr Kneppers currently operates a home-based practice in the Fairland, Northcliff, and Berario areas, and she also works two mornings a week at the Tina Otte Family and Child Centre, in partnership with the Well Baby Clinic run by Sister Linda Britz.

As a mother of two, Dr Kneppers understands the stresses new parents face and is passionate about providing care that helps both babies and their parents navigate the challenges of early childhood. Her practice is dedicated to promoting the importance of spinal health from birth and throughout life.

Chiropractic Services Offered

Dr Kneppers offers a variety of chiropractic treatments tailored to meet the needs of both infants and adults. These services aim to ensure the optimal function of the spine and nervous system, which are critical for overall health.

1. Baby Chiropractic Care
   Babies often experience misalignment of the spine due to the position in the womb, especially in cases where there are space constraints, such as breech pregnancies or multiple babies. Chiropractic care can help correct spinal misalignment caused by these conditions, allowing babies to move more freely and reducing discomfort. Dr Kneppers specialises in assessing and treating these issues, ensuring babies develop properly from the start.

2. Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
   Pregnancy brings significant physical changes as the body adapts to support the growing baby. These changes can lead to misalignments in the spine and pelvic joints. Chiropractic care aims to manage and correct these misalignments, ensuring that the mother experiences greater comfort throughout her pregnancy and reduces the risk of complications during delivery. Dr Kneppers provides gentle care to support mothers during this crucial time.

3. Neck and Back Chiropractic Care
   Chiropractic care for adults primarily focuses on maintaining a healthy spine and nervous system. Dr Kneppers treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including neck and back pain, by ensuring the spine functions correctly. Misalignments in the vertebrae can irritate or compress nerves, leading to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore movement and relieve pain, improving overall spinal health.
