PHD LED CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Our extensive experience and approach achieves results. 

RESEARCH INFORMED CARE

Our research driven approach provides industry leading care.

Are you living life or just living with pain?

Ongoing pain is exhausting – not just physically, but emotionally. If any of these sound familiar, this our approach is for you

Tried multiple treatments

You have tried physiotherapy, medication, or rest, however still waking up in pain every morning.  

Not getting real answers

Told “it’s just wear and tear” or “nothing can be done” and given no real solutions.

Pain affecting daily life

Missing work, activities you love or time with the family because of ongoing pain.

Feeling dismissed

Appointments feel rushed. No one has taken the time to understand your full picture and genuinely show you a path to resolving your symptoms .

Real People. Real Results

Hear from people who were in your position.

Highly recommend. I put off treating my shoulder injury I hope that it would fix itself… Six months later, there was no improvement, so I decided to go to these guys, and felt my shoulder improve within two weeks.

It’s now back to normal… thanks to Dave and the team.

I will not wait next time I have an injury!

Benjamin

David helped me with my lower back pain a few years ago and I have highly recommended him to my friends.

My back pain has not been back since the last time I saw David.

Very happy client.



Farida 

Could not recommend DMC more! I have been seeing Isaac for treatment of chronic headaches and migraines caused by TMJ, neck and upper back tension and imbalances. My symptoms have reduced dramatically, and the frequency of my headaches and migraines has decreased significantly. I always leave my appointments feeling refreshed.

Dr David McNaughton PhD

About me

I am an experienced chiropractor, clinician, researcher (PhD), and university lecturer with a passion for helping people move better, feel stronger, and better understand their health.

With over a decade of clinical experience, I take a personalised and evidence-informed approach to care, blending hands-on treatment, exercise, movement rehabilitation, and education to help patients manage pain, improve function, and build long-term confidence in their body.

I am also a Senior Lecturer in Chiropractic at CQUniversity and an active health researcher, with expertise in musculoskeletal pain and the relationship between physical and psychological health. My research has been recognised nationally and internationally and informs the way he approaches patient care, ensuring treatment is grounded in contemporary evidence while remaining practical and tailored to the individual.

MY APPROACH TO CARE

What makes my approach different is a strong focus on understanding the whole person. Whether someone is experiencing acute pain, recurrent flare-ups, posture or movement concerns, sports or gym injuries, or persistent musculoskeletal problems, my goal is to help people understand what is driving their symptoms and create a realistic pathway toward recovery and resilience.

About me

I’m passionate about helping people move better, reduce pain, and feel more confident in their body. My approach is practical, evidence informed, and tailored to the individual, combining hands on treatment, movement, exercise, and education to support recovery and long term health.

Alongside clinical practice, I have completed postgraduate training, including a Master’s degree and PhD(c) focused on team based healthcare and collaborative models of care. I also work as a university tutor in diagnostic imaging and clinical reasoning, helping future healthcare professionals develop strong assessment and decision making skills.


MY APPROACH

I work with people experiencing back and neck pain, injuries, movement concerns, and ongoing musculoskeletal issues, with a focus on understanding what is driving symptoms and creating realistic treatment plans aligned to your goals.

I believe healthcare should feel collaborative and supportive. My goal is to help you improve function, build confidence, and get back to doing what matters most.
