Have you ever wondered why I use Kinesiology Tape? Swipe right ➡️ to see why!

When I apply kinesiology tape, the goal is to support your body — not brace or restrict it. K-Tape helps with pain, swelling, circulation, and muscle support while still allowing natural movement.

It’s often used alongside treatment to help you feel more comfortable between visits. 💁🏼‍♀️

Similar, but different!

🧘‍♀️ Acupuncture = traditional, holistic, energy-based
💥 Dry Needling = modern, muscle-based, pain-focused

Both use thin needles, but:
👉 Acupuncture works with meridians & Qi
👉 Dry needling targets tight muscles & trigger points

✨ Good news! Our clinic offers both:
• Acupuncture with our acupuncturists, Dr Mitchell and Dr Ivy
• Dry Needling with our new chiropractor, Dr Shinay, to help with muscle pain, tension & movement

Not sure which one’s for you? Give us a call and we will be happy to guide you.

Hello (or hello again) 👋

I thought it was time for a little re-introduction for any new faces here.

I’m Dr Shinay Labuschagne — formerly Dr Smit — same person, same passion, just a new surname 🤍

I’m a chiropractor with a special interest in paediatrics, pregnancy care and rehabilitation, and I’m so excited to now be practising at my new clinic.

This new chapter feels a bit like a bee hive in the making — focused on growth, community, and doing meaningful work, one patient at a time 🍯

So excited for what’s ahead and all the new things buzzing around here! 🐝

I know I’ve been a little quiet on here 🤍

It’s been a busy season filled with lots of change, reflection, and big decisions behind the scenes.

Last month I said goodbye to a chapter I’m incredibly grateful for — the lessons, the growth, the memories and the patients and colleagues that became dear friends. It shaped me as both a chiropractor and a person.

While I’m closing one door, I’m so excited for what’s ahead and to bring you along for this next chapter.

I’ll be sharing more very soon… watch this space ✨

Dr Doggo wishes you a very Merry Christmas!
May your day be filled with love and memories.

From my family to yours!🎄

Lets face it ... your couch isn't the best chiropractor 😉

Interferential Current Therapy helps reduce pain, improve blood flow, and relax muscles by using gentle electrical currents to target deep tissues.

It’s commonly used for conditions like chronic pain, muscle spasms, and injuries needing deep-tissue healing. 💡

I, of course, am a MAJOR advocate for regular visits to the Chiro when it comes to your little ones!

But in closing on this topic, I cannot stress this enough! TRUST YOUR GUT, trust your mamma instincts - there is no better medicine & these instincts are more powerful than you think! ✨

When it comes to your baby's health and well-being, your mommy intuition knows best! Listen to it & know you're doing the right thing!

THE ANSWER: FROM BIRTH! 👶🏻

Your baby’s health and comfort are so important, and chiropractic care can play a gentle role in their early development. From birth, we can focus on supporting your little one’s growth, helping with common newborn issues like sleep, feeding, and colic. A healthy spine from the very start can make a big difference in their overall well-being.
