Chiropractic Care, Body Work

Dr Caroline van Lingen

Dr. Caroline van Lingen brings over two decades of clinical experience to her boutique chiropractic practice. After completing her Master’s degree in Chiropractic at Durban University of Technology, Caroline focused her research on babies, specifically investigating spinal joint restrictions in infants with and without infantile colic.

This academic foundation, combined with nearly 20 years of hands-on experience treating babies and families in her hometown, has established her evidence-informed approach to family care.

Healthcare should be as unique as you are. Our treatment philosophy centers on creating individualized care plans that address not just symptoms, but the underlying patterns that contribute to discomfort and dysfunction. Our practice blends traditional chiropractic principles with modern, evidence-informed methods, providing personalized care that supports your body.

We use a precise, low-force method called Neuro Impulse Protocol to restore function and mobility to the spine by restoring healthy communication between the brain and body. Suitable for all ages and comfort levels. NIP uses precise light impulses to specific areas of the spine or joints, helping to improve neural communication and encouraging the body’s natural healing processes. This is a “no-crack” method, making it ideal for sensitive individuals, infants, older adults, and anyone who prefers a softer style of care.

If you’re considering chiropractic care and would like to understand more about our approach, we encourage you to reach out with any questions.
