Meet Dr. Chris Canning: Upper Cervical Focused Chiropractor with a Passion for Precision
Born and raised in the tropical beauty of North Queensland, Australia, Dr. Chris Canning brings a world of experience and a lifetime of athleticism to his chiropractic practice. With a B.S. in Human Anatomy from the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Dr. Canning has always had a deep fascination with the mechanics of the human body.
Before finding his true calling in chiropractic, Dr. Canning worked in hospitals across England and Hawaii—experiences that gave him a broad view of healthcare and a firsthand look at both its strengths and its gaps. In 2009, he graduated from the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in California, ready to bring a new kind of healing to those in need.
A competitive athlete in his youth, Dr. Canning was both a National Champion in canoe paddling and a member of the Australian National Volleyball Team. But a neck injury during a rugby match would become the unexpected turning point in his life. After exhausting every conventional option—including physical therapy, medical consults, and surgery recommendations—he finally found relief through a single chiropractic adjustment. That moment was transformative.
As years passed, Dr. Canning noticed his neck no longer responded well to traditional chiropractic techniques. Determined to find something more precise, he discovered the Atlas Orthogonal method—a gentle, scientifically grounded technique that targets the alignment of the upper cervical spine. This discovery not only relieved his own symptoms but sparked a lifelong passion for specific, results-driven chiropractic care.
Dr. Canning is now dedicated to helping others discover the power of focused spinal correction. Through his practice, Canning Chiropractic & Laser Pain Solutions, he combines cutting-edge techniques with genuine care. His ongoing education has taken him around the world to learn from the most innovative minds in chiropractic, allowing him to bring a global perspective to his local community.
Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply seeking better function and vitality, Dr. Canning delivers personalized care that blends science, skill, and heart.
