Dr. Jan Hendrik Jones

"I created Silky Oak Chiropractic as an alternative to the high-volume clinic model. I want my patients to feel heard, supported, and truly understood."

Welcome! I’m Dr. Jan Hendrik Jones. With 24 years of clinical experience, a Master's in Chiropractic (M.Tech), and a Bachelor of Rehabilitation Sciences (BRehabSc), my focus has always been on providing comprehensive, un-rushed care that truly treats the whole body. I am passionate about delivering highly personalised care for residents in Holland Park, Greenslopes, Coorparoo, Mount Gravatt East, and the surrounding suburbs.

By prioritizing individual patient outcomes over high turnover, my practice pairs extended appointment lengths with integrative soft-tissue therapies, dry needling, and whole-body adjustments.

A Journey of Lifelong Learning

I began my career in Johannesburg, South Africa, completing my Master’s Degree in Chiropractic in 2002. My academic commitment to excellence was recognized early when my thesis on TMJ (jaw) treatment earned me the Unilever Travel Award.

Since moving to Australia in 2009 and proudly becoming a citizen, I have served diverse communities across North Queensland—including Innisfail, Townsville and Bowen. I also worked in and around Brisbane before establishing Silky Oak Chiropractic in Carindale in 2016.

Clinical Expertise & Modalities

Because there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to the human body, I utilize a diverse range of evidence-based techniques to ensure your treatment is specifically tailored to your needs. My approach goes beyond the spine to include:

• Advanced Chiropractic Adjustments: Gentle and effective mobilisations using Diversified Technique, Thompson Drop Piece, Activator, and Neuro-Impulse Protocol (NIP).
• Soft Tissue & Trigger Point Therapy: Targeted myofascial release to treat the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia that control joint movement.
• Dry Needling: A highly effective therapy for releasing stubborn muscle knots and managing chronic pain.
• Extremity Care & Joint Mobilisation: Comprehensive assessment and gentle range of motion improvement for shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles.
• Cranial Therapy: Specialized, gentle techniques to help manage head tension, TMJ (jaw) dysfunction, and support the nervous system.

Modern, Evidence-Based Care

To ensure my patients receive the most modern care possible, I recently completed a Bachelor of Rehabilitation Sciences at Griffith University (2025). This intensive study provides me with advanced training in customized exercise prescription and injury rehabilitation, allowing our clinic to create truly comprehensive, functional recovery plans tailored to you.

Beyond the clinic, I am deeply committed to the future of healthcare. As a Clinical Supervisor at CQU (Central Queensland University), I am honored to share my 24 years of hands-on experience by guiding and mentoring the next generation of practitioners.
