About Maleeka
Chiropractic found Maleeka when she was 15 years old post-injury. Her sporting injury enticed her in researching more into chiropractic. Maleeka was told by multiple doctors that she may need to have surgery on her spine, and she would not be able to play sports again, but this was not the case in the eyes of chiropractic. This is what led her to pursue a career as a chiropractor as it motivated her to help others the way it helped herself. Maleeka has always wanted to work in a field where she could help individuals understand and manage their pain while also helping herself. Maleeka is a type of chiropractor who always looks for other ways to help patients transition from treatment to exercise, to helping with their nutrition and day-to-day life. For Maleeka chiropractic is not only to reduce pain for a patient but to also support them through their biological, psychological, and social journey. What she loves about chiropractic the most is being able to see patients achieve dreams that they could never have thought they would have been able to achieve before chiropractic.
Maleeka attended Welsh Institute of Chiropractic and graduated in September 2023. The day she knew she graduated was the happiest day of her life. It was the day she realised that her dream has come true and now she can go on helping people the way chiropractic helped her over the years. Patients will notice that she is passionate about chiropractic and that she will do anything and everything to help them with the pain they are experiencing. Furthermore, patients will notice that she is a bubbly person and an active listener who will be ready to share their journey through their road of recovery.
Maleeka has come from a small family. She is an only child and has been brought up by her mum who has supported and helped her make her dream come true. Throughout her childhood up to the age of 15 she was playing tennis, netball, rounders, badminton, and athletics at a high level due to her interest and love for sports. Unfortunately, at the age of 15 she had a back injury which stopped her from being able to go back into sports for many years but since chiropractic she has been able to play all the sports that she loves. Thank you to chiropractic for helping Maleeka get back into what she loves and now it is her turn to help people achieve their goals both in chiropractic and outside.
