We believe everyone deserves to enjoy a life free from unnecessary pain and physical limitation — and we're committed to helping you reach your full potential through natural, evidence-based chiropractic care.

We treat patients of all ages — from newborns to seniors — and have a special interest in sports injuries, family care, and paediatric chiropractic. Whether you're an athlete aiming to perform at your best, a parent seeking gentle care for your little one, or simply looking to improve your quality of life, we're here to support you every step of the way.

What we do

Chiropractic care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system — especially those affecting the spine, joints, and muscles — and how these may influence the nervous system and overall health.

At our centre, we perform thorough assessments, accurate diagnoses, and hands-on treatments tailored to your individual needs. Treatment may include spinal and joint adjustments, soft tissue therapies, rehabilitation exercises, posture correction, and lifestyle advice — all designed to restore proper function, relieve pain, and promote long-term wellness.

Paediatric Chiropractic

At Saayman Chiropractic, we are passionate about helping children grow, move, and thrive. Paediatric chiropractic care uses gentle, age-appropriate techniques to support the healthy development of your child's spine, nervous system, and overall wellbeing.

The spine and nervous system play a vital role in growth, coordination, and communication within the body. When there are small restrictions or imbalances in movement — whether from birth, falls, posture, or daily activities — it can affect how the body functions and develops.

Paediatric chiropractic may assist with:

Feeding or latching difficulties
Delayed gross motor milestones (such as crawling, sitting, or walking)
Colic and sleep disturbances
Torticollis and plagiocephaly
Postural imbalances and spinal development concerns
Growing pains and coordination challenges
Sports or activity-related strains

Our goal is to support your child's comfort, confidence, and development through safe, effective, and nurturing care — giving them the best foundation for a healthy, active life.

What to expect on your first visit

1. Health History & Consultation

We'll start by discussing your current symptoms, health history, and lifestyle. You can expect questions about:

When and how your pain or problem started
What activities make it better or worse
Previous injuries, surgeries, or medical conditions
Your work, posture, and daily activities
Your health and wellness goals

This helps us understand the bigger picture and identify any contributing factors to your condition.

2. Physical Examination

A thorough chiropractic and orthopaedic assessment follows, which may include:

Posture and movement observation
Range of motion testing
Neurological and muscle strength checks
Orthopaedic tests to identify joint or soft tissue involvement
Spinal and joint palpation to feel for areas of restriction or tension

If needed, we may refer you for X-rays or other investigations to assist with an accurate diagnosis.

3. Diagnosis & Treatment Plan

Once we've identified the cause of your symptoms, we'll explain our findings in clear, simple terms and discuss your treatment options.

4. Chiropractic Treatment

Your first treatment may include:

Gentle spinal or joint adjustments
Soft tissue or muscle therapy
Stretching or rehabilitation exercises
Posture and lifestyle advice

Each plan is tailored to your individual needs and comfort level, with the goal of relieving pain, restoring function, and improving your overall quality of life.

Follow Up Visits

Follow-up visits at Saayman Chiropractic are focused on monitoring your progress and continuing your path toward full recovery and long-term wellness.

Ongoing Care & Progress Checks

Each follow-up session begins with a brief discussion about how you've been feeling since your last visit. We'll reassess your movement, comfort levels, and response to treatment to ensure you're improving as expected.

Treatment & Adjustment

Your chiropractor will continue with treatment suited to your current stage of recovery. This may include spinal or joint adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, stretches, and rehabilitation exercises. As your body improves, the type and frequency of treatment will adapt to your needs.

Home & Lifestyle Guidance

We'll often recommend simple stretches, strengthening exercises, and posture tips to support your progress between visits. The goal is to help you take an active role in your recovery and prevent the problem from returning.

Maintenance & Wellness Care

Once your condition has stabilised, many patients choose to continue with periodic check-ups to keep their spine, joints, and muscles functioning optimally. Regular maintenance care can help prevent future injuries, manage daily stress, and support your long-term wellbeing.
