Dr Steven Smilkstein, Johannesburg

I treat patients with conditions that are due to neurological and musculoskeletal conditions usually arising from biomechanical changes or physical injury to the joints and body commonly occurring at the spine and extremities. My approach to the patient’s healthcare is based on conservative physical care in the form of Chiropractic Adjustive techniques delivered to the spine and the extremities in most cases.

My method of assessment is medically based with diagnostic tools, postural analysis, neurological and orthopedic assessments, to rule out any complications or red flags for severe conditions. Refer to specialists if the conditions require more attention. I provide natural, nonsurgical treatments, relying on chiropractic adjustment techniques, soft tissue release techniques and additional tools to help maintain physical wellbeing of my patients.

Chiropractic adjustment is a gentle and specific approach to normalizing joint position and joint motion in the body. The greatest results are usually seen in chiropractic spinal adjustment, due to the close relation between the joints of the spine, muscles of the body, and the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. Many benefits include reduction in pain and muscle spasm. Increase in general range of motion and postural changes amongst others.

I cater to all patients in need of pain management, physical health management and maintenance of a healthy physical lifestyle. My services will be available for, healthy, sick and injured people of all ages. My market differs for each person as an individual depending on the condition that we are addressing and the comfort levels of each person.
