📢 PUBLIC NOTICE: Understanding Chiropractic Care in Fiji 🇫🇯
Is your "Chiropractor" qualified? Your health depends on the answer.
Many believe Chiropractic is just about "popping" a joint. In reality, it is a doctorate-level medical science focused on your nervous system, functional neurology, and human performance. To be a Doctor of Chiropractic, one must complete a graduate program similar to a Medical Doctor (MD).
⚠️ Know the Facts
Education Matters: A weekend course or "clicking" joints does not make someone a Chiropractor. True care requires years of studying the brain-body communication channels.
Current Status in Fiji: Following the passing of Dr. Byron Cragun, Dr Nemani D L (Lalanabaravi) remains the primary qualified resident professional, supported by visiting practitioners like Dr. Mathieu Barre, and others.
Unlicensed Practitioners: We are aware of several individuals currently practicing in Fiji without proper graduate-level health education or a Doctor of Chiropractic license.
🛡️ Your Right to Choose
While we respect the right of community healers to operate and the right of the public to choose their own path to wellness, we believe that choice must be informed. Treating the spine without professional training in the dynamics of the human body carries significant risk. If you choose an unlicensed practitioner, that is your choice—but please be aware of the difference in training and safety standards.
✨ Looking Ahead
We are working hard to bring more qualified, licensed professionals to our shores very soon to ensure Fiji thrives at its optimal self.
Your body. Your health. Your choice.
