Dr. Nicholas Shannon (B. App. Sci / B. Chiro Sci) is the Chiropractor at Little Collins Street Chiropractic, that operates within the Galleria Medical Centre. I provide comprehensive Chiropractic and Sports care.

What I do

I offer a professional, world class service and standard of care. That is highly effective at treating those aches, pains and more complex problems. I pride myself on getting quick and effective results. As well as helping to provide longer term changes for those looking for more than just symptomatic relief.

The skills set I utilise is ever expanding through continued post-graduate education and continued professional development, which is tailored towards individuals needs. Thus far it includes techniques such as, dry needling/acupuncture, applied kinesiology, sports injuries and rehabilitation, spinal rehabilitation, spinal movement assessment. I also believe in educating and empowering our patients so they may better understand their condition. 

My approach to patient care

My philosophy to patient care and treatment is grounded in the current Medical and Chiropractic research literature, which dictates best clinical practice. Keeping at the forefront of Medical and Chiropractic research within the neuro-musculoskeletal field enables me to better inform patients about what treatment options and protocols the research supports to get them better sooner. I also believe in the importance of preventative, proactive health care.
