Chiropractor Port Elizabeth - Dr. H. Myburgh

Dr Henri Myburgh qualified with a Masters Degree in Chiropractic from the Durban University of Technology. In addition he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Sport Science at the University of Stellenbosch in 2009. He further successfully completed the additional necessary modules of the BSc Sport Science degree to be competent to practice as a Personal Fitness Instructor.

He is very driven and passionate about sport and chiropractic. Being a competitive sportsman himself that represented his province in athletics and the Stellenbosch University (MATIES) 1st rugby team, he is well aware of the benefits of an active lifestyle and also the toll that it takes on the body. According to him chiropractic will not only optimize your potential in sports but in all facets of life. His emphasis is based on a healthy, active lifestyle and optimal functional spinal health. “The Chiropractic profession is unique in the sense that it is focused on treating the CAUSE of the complaint/injury/illness and not just the symptoms”. According to him Chiropractic is therefore considered “health-care” and not “sick care”.

His approach involves: making an accurate diagnosis by taking a full medical case history, physical and regional examinations followed by the incorporation of evidence-based treatment protocols. Treatment includes: Spinal and extremity manipulative therapy, soft tissue/trigger point therapy (Dry needling, active release therapy, impulse adjusting, kinesiotaping and strapping), patient education and referrals.
