He practised first with his mother, Dr Unity Lewis DC, in Pietermaritzburg until her death, and has been in practice in the Netherlands since 2003, returning to Hilton in September, 2010.

Over and above the usual joint-muscle-nerve conditions that all chiropractors treat, he has a particular interest in the management of hip arthritis, groin pain and chronic sacro-iliac pain, post-hip-surgery. And vertigo.

Undetected and poorly managed, hip conditions such Femero Acetabular Impingement Syndrome (pain and stiffness in the groin in the YOUNG person) lead inexorably on to hip arthritis.

Vertigo, severe dizziness is caused by a condition in the inner ear. 80% of the time it is caused by Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo that responds rapidly to the Epley Manoeuvres.

ACADEMIA: The rationale for Chiropractic Therapy

1. Loss of movement in a joint, any joint, reduces the movement of hyaline fluid within the joint. It's this fluid that brings fresh nutrients and oxygen to the hyaline cartilage lining the bones, and removes waste products. Loss of this normal movement (a "fixation") leads directly to Immobilisation Arthritis. IMMOBILISATION ARTHRITIS ...
   
   
2. Receptors within joints are constantly detecting, measuring and controlling the movement within joints, bombarding the spinal cord with information. Abnormal movement within the joint causes the spinal cord to fire information to the parietal lobe of the brain where pain is detected... CHIROPRACTIC THERAPY
