About Dr. Berta Jabavu
Dr. Berta Jabavu, affectionately known as “Kibo,” is a dedicated chiropractor originally from East Africa, Tanzania. She became part of The Joint Chiropractic family in 2019, beginning her journey at the Camp Creek location before expanding her impact across the Decatur area and surrounding clinics.
Dr. Jabavu earned her Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Sciences from Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah, Georgia. She went on to receive her Doctorate of Chiropractic from the National University of Health Sciences in 2016.
Her introduction to chiropractic was personal and powerful. While enrolled in a naturopathic program, she experienced a severe migraine. A professor suggested she try a chiropractic adjustment—and to her amazement, the headache vanished. From that moment on, she knew she had found her true calling and switched to chiropractic care. As Dr. Jabavu often says, “Chiropractic found me.”
What she loves most about the profession is the ability to use her hands to help people heal naturally, one adjustment at a time. She’s especially passionate about offering alternatives to medication, stating, “I love helping to decrease the opioid crisis—one patient at a time.”
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Jabavu enjoys spending time with her infant son, thrifting for unique finds, and diving into good books. One fridge essential she swears by is beef liver—a natural source of iron to help with her own health and vitality.
If she could host a dream dinner party, it would include chiropractic pioneers Daniel David Palmer and B.J. Palmer, humanitarian leader Nelson Mandela, and Tanzanian music icon Diamond Platnumz. She’d relish the opportunity to hear stories of resilience, vision, and purpose from these influential figures.
Dr. Jabavu continues to serve her community with skill, empathy, and a commitment to wellness—grateful to the chiropractic pioneers who made her life’s work possible.
