Dr. Jonathan Blackburn

Dr Jonathan Blackburn is a chiropractor with a genuine passion for helping people move better, recover faster, and stay active. Born in George and raised in Cape Town, he later moved to Durban to pursue his studies in chiropractic, where his interest in biomechanics, movement, and rehabilitation deepened.

He has a strong focus on treating sports-related injuries and a particular interest in the assessment and rehabilitation of lower back pain. Dr Blackburn takes a holistic, hands-on approach to care, looking beyond symptoms to understand the underlying cause of each patient's pain.

His treatment style combines thorough assessment and diagnosis with precise biomechanical adjustments and structured rehabilitation. The goal is not only to reduce pain, but to restore function and empower patients with the knowledge and exercises needed to strengthen areas of dysfunction and prevent future injury.
