ABOUT

About

Dr. Storm Schonken.

Hello,

My name is Dr Storm Schonken and this is

Chiro Sandton

I am the founder and lead practitioner of Chiro Sandton. I graduated from the University of Johannesburg with a MHSc (Masters in Health Science) in Chiropractic and a short learning programme in Paediatric Chiropractic Care from the University of Johannesburg.. I opened Chiro Sandton, so that I could treat more people, and expand my the field of expertise as I also practice at the NHC in Centurion.


In addition to using traditional treatments to deal with musculoskeletal issues and sports injuries, I adopt a hands-on approach and utilize a variety of alternative treatments to provide clients with the most comprehensive treatment possible using a combination of SMT (spinal manipulation therapy) and various soft tissue techniques. I firmly believe in evidence-based practice to ensure the best outcomes for my patients.


I have a great passion and special interest in paediatric patients but as a  chiropractor I treat all ages from the young to the elderly, with a special interest in paediatrics.


Tell me about your needs and together, we’ll develop a plan to help you free yourself of pain.

At Chiro Sandton, we understand that you may have questions about chiropractic care. Here are some of the most common inquiries we receive, along with detailed answers to help you make informed decisions about your health.

  • What exactly does a chiropractor do?

    Chiropractors focus on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, primarily through spinal manipulation and other manual techniques. They aim to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall health by addressing the root causes of discomfort.

  • Is chiropractic treatment worth it?

    Many patients find chiropractic treatment to be highly beneficial for managing pain and improving mobility. Research supports its effectiveness for various conditions, and many individuals report significant improvements in their quality of life after treatment. Chiropractic is also safe and cost effective. 


  • When should I see a chiropractor?

    You should consider seeing a chiropractor if you experience persistent pain, discomfort, or mobility issues, especially in your back, neck, or joints. Early intervention can often prevent more serious problems down the line.

  • How much does a chiropractor cost in South Africa?

    The cost of chiropractic care in South Africa can vary based on the practitioner's experience and the specific services provided. On average, an initial consultation may range from R700 to R1000, with follow-up sessions typically costing less, ranging from R500 - R800. It's best to check with your chiropractor for specific pricing.

  • Does medical aid cover chiropractic?

    Yes, the vast majority of medical aids cover chiropractic treatment from your MSA (medical savings account). If your chiropractor is contracted with a certain medical aid, they can claim directly. If not, the patient will be required to pay but the invoice can be sent to the medical aid for reimbursement.
