Dr. Sabrina Ong

Menopause affects half the population, yet specialist support is not always accessible. Dr Sabrina Ong is a GP and menopause specialist helping support women during this transition. Having worked for a large private provider, she gained specialist training and clinical experience from swathes of UK-wide menopause consultations, including many complex cases. As a local resident, doctor, and mother of two young girls, she’s thrilled to bring her expertise locally and through The Smart Clinics in Wandsworth (providing the full host of GP services in addition to menopause care).

Specialist consultations grant holistic opportunities to discuss physical and mental wellbeing, exercise, the gut microbiome, and medical management including HRT. Dr Sabrina is passionate about empowering women and demystifying the biology driving this transition, enabling a greater understanding. She firmly believes that nobody should just accept and ‘soldier on’ with symptoms that leave them feeling less like their usual self, less functional and less happy with all aspects of their lives. Help is available and she can guide women through evidence-based treatment in partnership with the individual.

Emma Burniston, director and chiropractor at award-winning Northcote Chiropractic, heads up a team of five chiropractors and four massage therapists (all female) who work together to improve the health of everyone who walks through the door, including babies and children.

The chiropractors will take a full health history (past and present), before orthopaedic, neurological and chiropractic testing, and a Muscle & Thermal Scan, which gives the chiropractor vital information about the function of your spine, joints and nervous system. Care recommendations are then given and a rescan and reassessment is then preformed to see the amazing changes.
