Who Is Dr Nageena Akhtar?

When Dr Nageena was just 11 years of age she had her first experience of the Chiropractic profession.

This initial exposure to the miracle of Chiropractic occurred when she witnessed her mother’s 25-year-history of weekly migraines resolve after adjustments to her neck.

Dr. Nageena started dedicating her life to acquiring that ‘magic in her hands’ she immediately began reading biology and human anatomy books in order to acquire these skills.  


Dr Nageena discovered that specialist training, and a Masters level education, was the minimum requirement to become a qualified Doctor of Chiropractic. Ever determined, she continued her studies and earned an unconditional offer to the prestigious Anglo European College of Chiropractic (AECC), UK.  Dr Nageena excelled in her education and graduated in 2006 with awards of ‘Best All-round Student’, along with the honorable ‘Students’ Student Award’.

She also was selected for the role of Head Delegate for the World Congress of Chiropractic Students (WCCS) where she represented the AECC in RMIT, Melbourne, Australia.

It was through her personal experiences leading to untimely deaths of her two babies in 2011 and 2016, to neuro-metabolic disease, that she developed a deep passion for helping all children, especially those with neurobehavioral, learning difficulties as well as neurodevelopmental delays.  Dr. Nageena has successfully become the first cohort to become certified in the Melillo Method TM in 2020, she has helped and continues to help many children in clinical practice.
