About Us

The clinic was born from the fact that Dr Rampersad has seen a countless number of patients with unwarranted and grossly unsuccessful surgery resulting in the patient being in more pain post-surgery with a reduction in their quality of life, where if that same patient was advised conservative management for their musculoskeletal issues, they would have seen a better improvement in their health and their quality of life. This resulted in Dr Rampersad wanting to provide affordable quality chiropractic healthcare which is very patient centred. The goal is to provide the best advice, avoid unwarranted invasive procedures and improve a patient’s quality of life.

Dr Rampersad setup his private practice at Shelly Centre for 15 years. After which he bought his own commercial property on Marine Drive in Shelly Beach with the eventual goal of opening a multidisciplinary medical and health centre.

He currently is passionate about non-surgical/ non-invasive treatment, management and rehabilitation of all neuromusculoskeletal disorders and pain management as well as post-surgical rehabilitation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chiropractic?

The word chiropractic comes from the Greek words “cheir and praxis” meaning hand and practice. The words refer to treatment done by the hands or hands-on therapy. Our medicine is based on the link between spinal alignment and the functioning of the body, with a core belief that the body has the ability to heal itself .

A South African trained Doctor of Chiropractic (CHIROPRACTOR) , has a Masters in Chiropractic and is a registered healthcare professional. A Chiropractor is trained as a primary care specialist with the ability to diagnose and treat a wide range of neuromuskelotal disorders.

Why Choose a Chiropractor?

Why not choose a chiropractor? There is a vast amount of research evidence that shows the effectiveness of chiropractic in the treatment of a wide array of disorders for example: Lower back and neck pain etc. The research results speak for themselves.

Chiropractic has long been viewed in contempt by many healthcare professionals, this is mainly as a result of the health care professional not really knowing what actually a modern chiropractor does or how a modern chiropractor treats disorders. Dr Rampersad does not only treat spinal conditions but also treats any condition caused by joint, ligament, tendon, nerve and muscles. We ask you as informed patients not to be afraid of a chiropractor and to confidently choose us for your next appointment.

What to expect from Dr Rampersad's consult?

At the time of your consult we normally advise our patients to arrive 10 minutes earlier to complete any admin and to dress comfortably with loose fitting clothing . Dr Rampersad will take a full case history followed by a physical exam to include a full orthopaedic and neurological exam. At which time all patient concerns and questions will be discussed. Should special scans e.g. x rays , diagnostic ultrasound and blood tests be required, this will also be discussed. All treatments and treatment times will vary from person to person.

What our patients have to say?

I have been a patient of Dr Rampersad for about 10 years now. This fact alone should say it all. He has helped me through various issues like a friend and not just a doctor. I can only highly recommend his practice to everyone.

I was suffering with nerve pain from my hip down my leg, I couldn’t even stand or walk. Someone recommended Dr Rampersad to me and after the first two sessions I could feel the difference, and after five week treatment of seeing him once a week I don’t feel any pain. Thank you for your great treatment. I recommend anyone who suffering from nerve pains to see him, excellent service .

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr Shikaar Rampersad. His expertise was evident as he took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the treatment plan he had in mind. Throughout the sessions, he showed total concern. Thank you, Doctor

Ms S Bhugwandeen

I consulted with Dr. Rampersad regarding a nerve issue in my back. A series of effective treatments were performed, rather than just a quick manipulation like some chiropractors do.
