Dr Monica Fiandeiro: Aligning the Nervous System — and the Path to Change
“Change the nervous system, and you change everything.”
For Dr Monica Fiandeiro, Chiropractic care is about far more than easing pain — it’s about creating change at every level of who we are. As the owner and lead Chiropractor of her Johannesburg-based practice, Monica blends clinical expertise with a curious spirit and a deep fascination for how the nervous system drives transformation.
A registered Chiropractor with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA) and a member of the Chiropractic Association of South Africa (CASA), Monica earned her Master’s Degree in Chiropractic from the University of Johannesburg in 2006. Soon after qualifying, she accepted what was meant to be an eight-month position in Windhoek, Namibia — an opportunity that became a two-and-a-half-year adventure.
“Those years taught me adaptability, confidence, and resilience,” she reflects. “They helped me see the human side of healthcare.”
In 2011, Monica returned to South Africa and opened her own private practice — a calm, welcoming space where science, empathy, and purpose meet. She has a particular interest in helping patients manage tension headaches and musculoskeletal conditions, but her greatest passion lies in the neurological side of chiropractic.
“That’s where the real magic happens,” she says. “Change in the brain creates change in the nervous system, which creates change in the body — and ultimately, in who we are as people. That’s the ripple effect of true transformation.”
Outside of her practice, Monica lives in Johannesburg with her dog and thrives on adventure. She’s completed endurance events like the Namaqua Quest and Morocco’s Marathon des Sables Trek, and loves hiking South Africa’s natural wonders, including Tugela Falls in the Drakensberg.
“Pushing myself outdoors reminds me of what I ask of my patients — to keep moving, adapting, and evolving.”
For Dr Fiandeiro, alignment isn’t just a chiropractic principle — it’s a philosophy for living, leading, and growing.
