Common Conditions That We Help
Back pain
Is your back pain getting you down? Have you been having trouble with flexibility? We have helped thousands of people with back pain get back to doing the things they love with little or no pain.
Headaches
One of the most common things we help people with as chiropractors is headaches. A large percentage of the time, headaches are caused by muscle tension in the neck. If you’d like to know how we can help you with your headaches, please make time for your assessment
Neck pain
Does pain give you trouble when you wake up in the morning? Do you get stiff and sore staring at the computer screen? Chances are you have a problem in your neck as a result of tensing up. We can help.
Posture-Related Issues
We take posture very seriously. Research shows that poor posture can lead to significant health problems such as breathing trouble, pain, and mobility issues. We have a special assessment and equipment to analyze your posture to see if posture issues are causing your pain.
Pregnancy-Related Issues
Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it can also be a stressful and sometimes painful time. Chiropractic can help during pregnancy with back pain, posture issues, baby positioning, and help with labor time.
Pediatrics
Often we see adults with problems that most likely started in childhood. Falls, slips, injuries, and any number of everyday mishaps during childhood can cause issues for kids now and in the future. We have special tools and training to make our pediatric adjustments gentle, safe, and effective. Your kids will love it.
Trusted Townsville Chiropractor
Dr. Paul Shanahan
Paul began his chiropractic journey studying a Diploma in Physiology in Ireland. A day observing an Australian chiropractor in Kilkenny was all Paul needed to decide that Chiropractic was how he wanted to help people.
The 5-year course at Welsh Institute of Chiropractic was complete in 2005 and after a few years working in England - Paul decided to move to Australia.
Trusted Townsville Chiropractor
Dr. Taylah Wilnierak
Having benefited from Chiropractic care since childhood, it was only natural for Taylah to become a Chiropractor herself! Leaving her hometown of Newcastle, Taylah achieved her degree at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic in Auckland.
After graduating in 2019, Taylah took an associate position in Townsville for a year and loved it so much that she decided to return.
Do You Accept My Insurance?
Yes. We accept all major insurance and can claim on the spot. We also provide DVA cover.
Your First Visits
We strive to make your experience comfortable, relaxing, and pertinent to your health goals. Traditional chiropractic has a stigma attached to it that makes patients feel as if they are a number getting shuffled through the mix with a brief, generic treatment.
We understand that everyone is different and so are your health goals. That's why we take the time to do a thorough consult and examination during your first visit. It helps us develop a specific approach designed to get you the best possible results.
Finding The Best Chiropractor in Townsville
Not every chiropractor is the right fit for every patient -- and the best chiropractor for one person is often not the best for someone else. Some patients need a very gentle, low-force approach. Others do well with traditional manual adjustments. Some are looking for a chiropractor with specific experience in pregnancy, paediatrics, or posture rehabilitation.
At Bamboo Chiropractic, we don't try to be everything to everyone. We focus on doing a small number of things very well -- thorough assessments, personalised care plans, and honest communication about what we can and can't help with. If we are not the right fit for your situation, we will tell you that and point you in the right direction.
Dr. Paul Shanahan has more than 17 years of clinical experience and postgraduate training in pregnancy, paediatric, and postural chiropractic. Dr. Taylah Wilnierak brings a patient-focused approach and her own set of techniques to complement Paul's care. Between them, they see patients of all ages and presentations across our Mundingburra and Charters Towers locations.
