2018 has been another busy and exciting year here at Peak Chiropractic.
January & February
We started the year as we aimed to go on, with a party! We enjoyed our practice bar, where we got to hang out with you and your families. We look forward to our 2019 braai on Friday, February 8.
We also implemented measures to avoid Day Zero. We hope to keep up with these water saving measures despite the restrictions now being relaxed.
March
Dr Greg and Dr Donne attended a paediatric seminar over 2 weekends, one in Jo’burg and the other in Durban.

They will both be attending the follow-up in this seminar series in February 2019.
We had our first Tea Tasting Evening with our friends at The Tea Journey. They have been supplying us with all of the tasty teas that you are enjoying when you come in for your adjustments.
