This Is Life, Nervous System Chiropractors

This Is Life, Nervous System Chiropractors is a family and paediatric chiropractic practice in Mermaid Beach, Gold Coast, led by founder and principal chiropractor Dr Ashley Campbell-Bird. The practice focuses on what it calls neurologically focused chiropractic care, taking a broader view of how the spine, nervous system and biomechanics may relate to a person’s health concerns. Its services are intended for children and adults, with nervous system scanning available for infants through to grown-ups.

A first visit follows a two-part consultation process designed to understand a patient’s health history, current concerns and goals before care is recommended. The practice says it uses biomechanical and neurological assessments, advanced X-ray analysis and INSiGHT nervous system scans to build an individual picture of each patient’s needs. These scans are presented as a way to assess and track nervous system function over time, rather than relying only on symptoms or a standardised plan.

Dr Campbell-Bird brings more than three decades of chiropractic experience to the practice and has completed advanced paediatric training through PX Docs. The website also notes his previous work with AFL and AFLW players from Melbourne clubs, in collaboration with club medical teams on injury prevention, injury management and performance care. His stated approach is highly individualised, with techniques and appointments adjusted to the person in front of him and their longer-term health goals. The practice also identifies migraine and headache care, family and kids’ health, pain conditions and nervous system dysregulation among its areas of focus.

This Is Life may suit families looking for a practitioner who works with both children and adults, as well as people seeking a more detailed assessment of ongoing or complex health concerns. It could also appeal to patients who value education and want to understand the reasoning behind a proposed care plan before proceeding. The setting and social atmosphere are not described on the website, so this is best viewed as a consultation-based wellness practice rather than a drop-in destination. New patients can book an in-depth consultation to discuss whether the practice’s neurologically focused chiropractic approach is appropriate for them.
