The Bamboo Chiropractic Difference
Chiropractic Care Designed For Your Body
At Bamboo Chiropractic, we do things differently, and that’s a good thing. We combine modern, gentle chiropractic care with a deep understanding of how stress, posture, and nervous system function all work together to impact your health.
Our approach is neurologically focused, which means we’re not just chasing symptoms. We’re helping your body reset, rebalance, and heal from the inside out.
Whether you’re dealing with pain, stress, tension, or poor posture, our goal is to help your body move and function the way it was designed to.
Here’s what makes our care different:
-
Gentle, precise adjustments – No heavy force. Just fast, focused care that works with your body, not against it.
-
A calming effect on the nervous system – Many of our patients are stuck in stress mode. Our care helps calm the “fight or flight” response so your body can rest, digest, and recover.
-
Support beyond the adjustment – We use tools like the Denneroll to help rebuild healthy spinal curves and improve posture, so your results last longer between visits.
This is chiropractic that’s modern, comfortable, and built for real, lasting results. We meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go, one adjustment at a time.

Dr. Paul Shanahan
Townsville Chiropractor
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.
Paul has studied a wide range of Chiropractic techniques, combined with more than 17 years of experience this allows him to adapt his approach to suit the needs of every individual.
When he is not checking and adjusting people, Paul is an unskilled but enthusiastic guitar player, father of two boys, and loyal supporter of the local U-13s rugby team.
