CHIROPRACTOR

Joona Konga D.C., Master of Chiropractic

I have been working as a chiropractor since 2014, and in the healthcare sector overall since 2009. My practices are located in Helsinki at Velnas Wellbeing Center in Laajasalo and in Kotka at Nikama Nordic.

I completed a 5-year Master of Chiropractic degree at the University of South Wales in the UK. This program included a one-year internship at the university clinic. In addition, I have a background in massage therapy, having trained at the Finnish Sports Massage Institute.

My first encounter with chiropractic care was as a patient, when I sought treatment for back problems that were affecting my football hobby and had not found relief elsewhere. Through my own positive experiences, I became interested in the field, and later found myself back in school.

For lasting treatment results, it is important that the treatment plan is always personalized and tailored to the individual's needs and goals.

Sports and exercise have always been important to me, and I strive to pass on the joy and benefits of movement to my clients. As such, my treatments almost always include active exercises in addition to passive care.

After completing my university education, I have continued my professional development through courses in Sports Chiropractic (FICS), functional neurology, and applied kinesiology.

- Worked as a chiropractor since 2014

- Special interest in treating lower back pain, neck pain and headaches.
