Rivonia Chiropractic Clinic – Sandton

About Rivonia Chiropractic Clinic

Rivonia Chiropractic Clinic, located in the heart of Sandton, offers professional and personalised chiropractic care. The clinic is led by Dr Jeremy Guimaraens and Dr Nicola McLean, both of whom hold Masters Degrees in Chiropractic from the University of Johannesburg (1999). In addition to their extensive training, both doctors completed an international postgraduate degree in the Chiropractic Management of Sporting Injuries (I.C.S.S.D), demonstrating their commitment to advanced learning and specialised care.

Dr Jeremy initially worked in Randburg while building his practice in Rivonia, and in 2003, he launched a consulting company in health risk management. After selling this company to a division of Momentum, he returned full-time to chiropractic practice. Dr Nicola, after gaining valuable experience in Northcliff, joined Dr Jeremy at the Rivonia clinic. She now consults in the mornings, focusing on both general chiropractic care and her particular interest in fibromyalgia syndrome, a topic on which she has presented at the FMS Society of South Africa.

The clinic provides a welcoming and professional environment, offering tailored treatments to people of all ages, including newborns. The team brings over 14 years of experience in private practice, as well as experience from working at the All Africa Games in 2001, both at the medical fieldside and in the clinic within the athlete village.

Additional Information

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your first visit will involve a detailed health history and physical examination. The chiropractors will assess your posture, range of motion, and perform neurological and orthopaedic tests to accurately diagnose your condition. Treatment plans are then customised to meet your specific needs.

How Chiropractic Works

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper function to the joints and nervous system. Many common pains, such as headaches, neck pain, and lower back pain, often stem from dysfunction in the joints of the spine. When joints become restricted, they can lead to inflammation, muscle spasms, and nerve irritation. Chiropractors use precise manual adjustments to restore joint mobility, reduce pain, and break the cycle of dysfunction.

Drug-Free, Non-Invasive Treatment

Chiropractic offers a safe alternative to medication and surgery for managing pain and improving health. The treatments at Rivonia Chiropractic Clinic are non-invasive, making them suitable for a wide range of conditions without the side effects often associated with pharmaceuticals.

Trusted and Experienced Care

With over 14 years of experience, both Dr Jeremy and Dr Nicola bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to their practice. Their involvement in international studies and sporting events, combined with their ongoing commitment to learning, ensures patients receive the highest standard of care.
