As a Doctor of Chiropractic, her education stands apart from the Swedish educated musculoskeletal therapists where education does not reach university standards. What this means in practice are that the skills in diagnosis are substandard and that there is no education in pediatrics.
Med vår utbildning kan vi diagnostisera olika typer av neuro-muskulo-skeletala problem, men även känna igen allvariga sjukdomar. Vi samarbetar med husläkare, ortopeder, neurologer och sjukgymnaster för att nå bästa långsiktiga resultat med patientens problem.
