Ergonomics & Lifestyle Advice
Recovery does not stop when you leave the practice. We provide practical advice on workstation setup, posture, sleep positions, lifting habits, daily movement and lifestyle factors that may contribute to recurring discomfort at home or at work.
Rehabilitation & Movement Support
Treatment should extend beyond what happens on the table. Where appropriate, we provide individualised mobility, stretching, strengthening and movement advice to help patients manage their condition and reduce repeated aggravation.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping may be used as a supportive addition to treatment for selected muscle, joint or soft-tissue problems. Rather than being a stand-alone treatment, it is used when appropriate to complement chiropractic care and rehabilitation.
Soft Tissue & Fascial Release
Muscles, fascia and connective tissues can contribute significantly to pain and restricted movement. We use targeted hands-on soft-tissue and fascial techniques to relieve tension, improve movement and support recovery as part of your overall care.
Dry Needling & Trigger Point Therapy
Dry needling uses fine sterile needles to target selected tight or sensitive areas within muscles. It may be included when muscular tension, trigger points or restricted movement are contributing to pain or dysfunction.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves as an adjunct to treatment for selected soft-tissue and musculoskeletal conditions. When appropriate, it forms part of a broader treatment plan alongside chiropractic care, soft-tissue therapy and rehabilitation.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy delivers mechanical pressure waves to targeted tissues. It is often used as part of the conservative management of selected tendon, muscle and soft-tissue conditions, especially more stubborn problems.
Chiropractic Care for Babies and Children
Our approach to babies and children is gentle, age-appropriate and very different from adult care. We focus on musculoskeletal assessment, movement and function, while making the experience calm and comfortable for both child and parent.
Chiropractic Care for Pregnant Patients & Webster Technique
Pregnancy places changing demands on the spine, pelvis and surrounding muscles. Our pregnancy care includes gentle chiropractic techniques and the Webster Technique to support pelvic and musculoskeletal function while keeping treatment comfortable throughout pregnancy.
Activator & Low-Force Chiropractic Adjustments
Not every patient needs or wants a traditional manual adjustment. Activator and other low-force techniques allow for a gentle, targeted approach, making them especially useful for patients who prefer a softer treatment style.
Cervical & Lumbar Traction
Controlled traction can be used to gently decompress the neck or lower back and reduce mechanical pressure on sensitive spinal structures. We carefully choose the type and intensity of traction according to your symptoms, examination findings and comfort.
Specialised Chiropractic Adjustments & Mobilisation
We use a range of chiropractic adjustment and mobilisation techniques tailored to your age, condition, comfort and individual needs. Treatment may include traditional chiropractic adjustments or gentler mobilisation approaches, depending on what is most appropriate for you.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Say About Us
I have been seeing Dr Pieter du Plessis from Olive Chiropractic for about 2 years now and he has helped me a lot with lower back pain. I can truly recommend him.
Leon du Plessis
What a wonderful experience to visit Olive Chiropractic. Pieter is excellent in diagnosing the root cause of any pain or discomfort and his treatment always works wonders. My family and I have been going to Pieter for years and will continue to do so.
Teresa Pretorius
A few weeks ago I had extreme back pain and could hardly walk properly. My house doctor couldn’t really find the problem and just gave me meds. Then I went to Dr Pieter du Plessis. He looked me over and within days I was walking properly again.
Dion Botha
Besides Dr Pieter & Dr Berlé’s warm and compassionate approach with their patients, they go above and beyond to ensure your visit achieves its intended goals.
Danica Van Zyl
Before meeting Dr Pieter, I was sceptical and had some fear towards chiropractors. However, my encounters with him have completely changed my perception, revealing chiropractic care as a valuable medical solution when necessary.
