M.Tech Chiropractic; MMed Sci (Sports Medicine) cum laude

Nikki qualified as a Chiropractor in 2000 and initially worked in a provincial hospital in Kimberley where she gained a wealth of experience. At the time she was fortunate enough to treat the Griqualand West Cricket Team. After that she moved to Somerset West and worked in an established multidisciplinary practice before returning ‘home’ to Durban in order to specialise in Sports Medicine at the University of KwaZulu Natal (2008). Since 2005 Nikki has had the privilege of being both in private practice and a part-time lecturer/ clinician at the Chiropractic Department of DUT. She runs a family practice treating toddlers to geriatrics and has a special interest in treating the recreational athlete as well adolescent athletes. This interest in injury rehabilitation stems from her active involvement in sport and having been plagued by sports injuries as an adolescent. Her treatment style is fairly gentle and a range of manipulation (diversified technique) as well as electrical modalities e.g. ultrasound, taping techniques e.g. kinesiotape, dry needling, and exercise training is used to facilitate recovery. Her passion for being a chiropractor is clear and Nikki strives for perfection in her work.
