Chiropractic education

There are two universities in South Africa where you can train as a Chiropractor. One in Durban (DUT), and the other in Johannesburg (JU). Both are six year masters level degrees, ending in a research dissertation.

The course at DUT has recently been accredited by an international agency, meaning that the course is on a par with Chiropractic education the world over. A bit of a forked stick, as it means that DUT graduates can now find gainful employment the world over.

Young or old? A new graduate is completely abrest of new techniques, new thinking, the latest research, but is short on experience. An old dog like me? My education was thirty years ago, in the last millennium! but I have a lot of experience under the belt.

Best do your homework and shop around. Talk to friends and family, perhaps your doctor even, even phone the chiropractor and ask if s/he has experience with your particular problem.

In the Netherlands we promote a so-called Kennismakingsgesprek. It's a short consultation, very brief examination, meet the doctor, all for no charge. To help you, if you are in doubt. You can always ask! It's actually a win-win situation. I personally find that the vast majority of patients who come for this sort of consultation end up making an appointment as a new patient (and paying for it), and it helps me weed out cases where I know I can't help the patient.

SACROILIAC JOINT TREATMENT

Sixty percent of the average chiropractor's time is taken up with low back pain, and the multitudinous conditions of the pelvis. Subluxations of the ilium and sacrum, malformations of the lower spine and hip (like Femero Acetabular Impingement Syndrome), degenerative changes and injuries all contribute to a great deal of pain and discomfort in the pelvic area. The Sacroiliac joint syndrome is one that Chiropractic specialises in... SACROILIAC JOINT TREATMENT ...

WHY THE APPLE DIET IS SO IMPORTANT, an apple a day... it's not just myth.

Research currently is confirming that refined high "Glycemic Index" foods like white bread, refined white rice and even potatoes have more to do with heart disease than animal fats.

Always balance your high GI foods by including foods containing protein and the healthy fats to reduce the GI. High Carbohydrate Count Chart foods are strongly associated with heart disease. Learn at this link how to lower the overall Glycemic Index of your meal without spoiling the taste.
