I've always had a strong interest in the way the body works and a more natural approach to health. After I had finished school, I made a list of things I wanted from my career. A chiropractor I met had such enthusiasm for his profession that I had to investigate it further. I already loved physiology and learning.
Santah has been an enthusiastic Chiropractic patient for over 15 years and is continually learning more about the benefits of being well adjusted. Originally from South Africa, Santah has a background in coaching children's sport and her friendly and fun manner keeps everyone around her smiling. Santah has excellent problem solving skills which are put to good use managing the day to day running of the practice.
Thornton Chiropractic's focus is on helping you in the manner best suited to your needs. Chiropractic care is our main area of expertise, but we offer complementary services that can serve as an important part of your healing. Dr Heidi Upneck-Nel (Chiropractor) is skilled in giving specific chiropractic adjustments, determining which method suits your needs with gentle palpation.

Heidi is brilliant, thorough, caring and professional. Receptionist is lovely. Even if you have to wait it’s only 5 mins. I always feel so much better after my adjustment. Highly recommend.

Excellent service. Santah does very good remedial massage. We have a massage once a month and the following week chiropractic with Heidi. It's our choice and an excellent programme to keep us fit and free of pain from injuries.....new location is just as "spick and span"..

After relocating from Sydney where I had the same chiropractor for many years, I was so happy to find Heidi and her team.
Heidi is passionate about her work and is proactive in educating her clients about managing their health. As an added bonus, Heidi is a delightful person!
I have also visited Santah for massage. Like Heidi, Santah has an innate ability to find the pain points quickly and work with them to ensure you feel the benefits immediately.
Regular visits over the past few months keep me healthy and pain free. Highly recommended!

It’s great to have such an excellent service available in our area. Heidi’s Chiropractic adjustments are very effective and without the use of medication. In continually educating herself so that she is up to date with all of the latest treatments, I can confidently leave my health in her hands.

Heidi and the team are second to none! Definitely one of the best Chiropractors that we have been to. Heidi is passionate about her work, keeps up to date with all of the current practices and educates us on how to take better care of ourselves in general. I would recommend Heidi to anyone that requires pain or discomfort management on the musculoskeletal system or even just to keep your body in good shape.

We highly recommend Santa and Heidi. Our whole family have benefited immensely from being treated. I first saw Heidi after a bad car accident 3 years ago and now see her regularly for a range of thing. Extremely professional and knowledgeable.
