Gentle, Low Force Chiropractic Care for Cannon Hill & Brisbane's Southside
Most people come to us having already tried things that haven’t worked. They want answers, not just temporary relief. That’s exactly how we think too.
Our approach using the Neuro Impulse Protocol (NIP) starts with understanding where you are right now — what’s the primary problem, what barriers are slowing your progress, and what you can do to accelerate change.
When people understand their problem clearly and get involved in their own recovery, they progress faster and their results last longer. NIP care combined with targeted rehabilitation gives us the tools to identify what’s really going on, demonstrate change in your movement and strength, and build a plan that’s specific to you. Not a generic program. Not a guess. A thorough, measurable, individual approach.

Thorough Assessment
We take the time to understand your history, identify your primary problem, and distinguish it from compensation patterns. You’ll know exactly what we found and why.
Precise, Low Force Care
NIP corrections are applied gently, in a neutral position. No cracking, no twisting, no uncomfortable positions. Suitable for all ages — from newborns to seniors.
A Measured Approach
One of the most powerful aspects of NIP is that changes in movement and strength can often be demonstrated at each visit. We assess, we correct, and we show you what’s changed.
Our Technique
What Is NIP?
The Neuro Impulse Protocol — NIP — is a gentle, assessment-based chiropractic technique. It uses specific tests of joint movement and muscle strength to identify where the nervous system is not communicating properly with the body.
Corrections are applied by hand with low force, in a neutral position. There is no cracking, no cavitation, no twisting into uncomfortable positions. NIP works with the brain’s ability to adapt and change — which is why results can often be seen and measured immediately.
NIP is a full-body technique. It can assist with back and neck pain, headaches, shoulder and knee problems, hip and jaw issues, and much more. Because it’s so gentle, it’s equally well-suited to newborns, children, and adults of all ages.
Patrick McPhie (Chiropractor) is a member of the NIP international teaching team and has taught the technique at symposiums across four continents. He has worked closely with NIP founder Dr Neil Davies (Chiropractor), particularly in the area of paediatric and newborn care.
Back & Neck Pain
Whether it’s a longstanding problem or something recent, our assessment-based approach identifies the primary causes and maps out a clear path toward better movement and reduced pain. Learn More →
Headaches & Migraines
NIP assesses the whole system — not just where the pain is. By identifying the primary driver rather than chasing symptoms, we aim to address what’s actually contributing to your headaches. Learn More →
