Introducing Dr. Justin Pellow

My name is Justin Pellow and I was born in Germiston, a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. I was inspired to study Chiropractic by Des Sinclair, a wise old man and an ex-Rugby Union great (a member of the legendary 1951 – 52 “Springboks” side after being assigned to attend his very successful Chiropractic clinic for work experience. It was there that we met and formed a bond. As I listened intently to the Rugby Union legend, I discovered more and more that Chiropractic as a profession, was calling me. The seeds had really been sown much earlier. When I was thirteen years of age, my mother experienced chronic neck pain (the result of a whiplash injury) and severe migraines. The best relief she could get was through Chiropractic. I personally received relief from Chiropractic to address a chronic shoulder injury.

I studied Chiropractic at Technikon Natal university, (now known as The Durban Institute of Technology) in Durban, South Africa, and graduated in October 1999. I then practised in Johannesburg before my wife Karen and I moved to the UK where I practised for 4½ years. We decided to move to Australia to join HealthGuard Clinics Toowoomba as I wanted to move to a like-minded practice that offers some of the best treatment available. After undertaking pre-requisites to meet requirements of Australian registration, I commenced practise at the Clinic in December 2005.

My wife Karen and I enjoy going to the gym, playing tennis, riding our mountain bikes, going for walks and swimming. I love playing my guitar and am looking forward to getting back into playing golf. I can also converse in Afrikaans, however a little rusty.

I have chosen to devote my life to Chiropractic because it is a dynamic, growing field that is non-invasive, safe and helps to improve the health of patients by enabling their own bodies to function better without using drugs or surgery. I am grateful I did because patients are rewarded with better health and I am rewarded by seeing people get better and getting on with their lives.

My personal promise to you is that I will always endeavour to give you the best treatment possible.

Dr Steve Asks some important questions of interest to Toowoomba residents - Chiropractor Toowoomba Dr Steve Asks...

Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
Ask most people in Toowoomba and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic practice member knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
