About Banora Chiropractic
Two experienced chiropractors, a friendly team, and a genuine commitment to helping you feel your best.
Your Neighbourhood Chiropractors
Banora Chiropractic was founded on a simple idea: that everyone deserves access to quality, personal chiropractic care — without the rush, without the upsell, and without the jargon.
Located at 2/44 Greenway Drive in Tweed Heads South, we have been helping local families, workers, and active people feel better for years. Whether you are dealing with back pain that has been nagging you for months, a sports injury that is holding you back, or you just want to stay on top of your health — we are here to help.
Dr James Shipway and Dr Paul Cater bring different techniques and perspectives to the clinic, which means you get the benefit of varied approaches under one roof. Between them, they have over 30 years of combined experience in chiropractic care.
We believe in being honest with you about what we find, realistic about what we can help with, and supportive throughout your care journey. No cookie-cutter treatment plans. No pressure. Just good, personal care from people who genuinely want to help.
Meet the Team
Dr James Shipway
B.Sc.Chiro. & M.Chiro — Chiropractor & Co-founder
Dr James Shipway brings extensive experience and a genuine passion for helping people move and feel better. With qualifications in both science and chiropractic, James takes a thorough, evidence-based approach to care. He has a special interest in family chiropractic, sports injuries, and posture correction.
Dr Paul Cater
B.Sc.Chiro. & M.Chiro — Chiropractor & Co-founder
Dr Paul Cater is the founder and principal chiropractor at Banora Chiropractic, bringing over 20 years of experience helping the Tweed Heads community move, feel, and live better. Paul's clinical interests cover the full spectrum of family care — from acute spinal pain and dysfunction, posture, and sports injuries through to supporting older patients to stay active and independent, and caring for pregnant women and children of all ages. He takes time to understand each patient's story, ensuring everyone leaves with a clear picture of their condition and a confident path forward. Outside the clinic, Paul is most at home in the water — surfing, foiling, kiteboarding, and diving are all fair game. When the family escapes the Tweed Coast, snow trips are a firm favourite.
