Services We Offer

At Dr Megan van der Merwe’s chiropractic clinic, patients receive treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Dr Megan uses various techniques to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote long-term wellness.

Chiropractic Adjustments / Spinal Manipulative Therapy

Spinal manipulations involve gentle adjustments to restore the proper alignment of the spine. These adjustments help alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance nervous system function.

Joint Mobilisation Techniques

Joint mobilisations are gentle movements that help restore normal joint function. They are beneficial in relieving stiffness and improving mobility in affected areas.

Dry Needling

Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to release tension and reduce pain. By stimulating these points, the therapy encourages blood flow and speeds up muscle recovery.
