I graduated as a chiropractor in the summer of 2018 from the University of South Wales. I was drawn to the field by sports, and it played a key role throughout my studies. I did my master's thesis on neck and head injuries related to professional hockey.
As a chiropractor, I want to be involved in promoting the development of my profession, as well as conservative care as a whole, and for this work I have already been awarded internationally.
In addition to clinical work, I conduct research with the University of Turku on factors related to pain.
As a healthcare professional, I approach problems according to the biopsychosocial model, taking into account a wide range of aspects of life. It is also of primary importance to me that the treatment is cost-effective and includes manual treatment and independent training whenever necessary, so that the individual has the greatest possible impact on their own health.
With chiropractic treatment and training, we seek to get rid of various malfunctions in the body, as well as abnormal nervous system function, the consequences of which often cause various pain conditions. The most common ailments I treat are:
- Acute and chronic low back pain.
- SI – Joint dysfunction and pain
- Disc-related pain (intervertebral disc bulges and herniated discs)
- Sciatica and pain radiating to the leg
- Mid-back pains & facet locks
- Neck and shoulder pains
- Neck-related vertigo and good quality postural vertigo or BPPV
- Headaches and Migraines
- Radiation pains in the extremities
- Problems with the masticatory muscles and dysfunction of the jaw joint
In addition to these, I treat several sports injuries, such as shoulder and knee tendinopathies
