About Dr Tony Briggs

Neurorehabilitation Chiropractor Care in Melbourne

A Brain First Approach™ to Restoring Balance, Function, and Performance

Persistent pain, dizziness, fatigue, poor focus, reduced coordination, or lingering symptoms often reflect how the brain and nervous system are functioning.

I provide neurorehabilitation focused Chiropractor care that addresses how the brain drives movement, balance, energy, and recovery. By targeting neurological drivers rather than surface symptoms, care becomes more precise, effective, and sustainable.

Meet Dr Tony Briggs

  • Holistic Chiropractor

  • Neuro Rehabilitation Chiropractor

  • Certified Lifestyle Medicine Professional

  • Critical Care Nurse

  • Member of the Australian Chiropractic Association

With more than 37 years in healthcare, my background began in critical care nursing, working in ICU, cardiac catheter laboratories, and anaesthetics. These environments shaped my understanding of how quickly neurological balance can be disrupted by stress, trauma, and illness.

My focus shifted from stabilising symptoms to understanding why dysfunction occurs. This led me to Chiropractor care and advanced training in functional neurology through the Carrick Institute of Neurology in the United States, alongside certifications in Lifestyle Medicine.

My work is grounded in a simple principle. When the brain and nervous system are not integrating information efficiently, symptoms emerge. When balance is restored, the body has the capacity to heal, adapt, and perform more effectively.


Why a Brain First Neurorehabilitation Approach Matters

The brain regulates balance, movement, pain perception, focus, energy, and recovery.

When neurological processing is inefficient, the body compensates. Over time, these compensations can contribute to dizziness, migraines, chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, reduced performance, or persistent symptoms following injury.

A brain first approach identifies and addresses these neurological drivers rather than treating symptoms in isolation, supporting more durable and meaningful outcomes.


How Neurorehabilitation Chiropractor Care Helps

Care integrates Chiropractor techniques, Functional Neurology, Medical LASER Therapy, and Lifestyle Medicine to support nervous system regulation.

This approach helps to:

  • Identify underlying neurological drivers

  • Improve brain body communication

  • Restore nervous system balance

  • Reduce pain, dizziness, and fatigue

  • Support recovery after injury or illness

  • Enhance physical and cognitive performance

Care is personalised following a comprehensive neurological, balance, and movement assessment.


The Balance Reset Method

The Balance Reset Method is a unique structured neurological approach designed to improve how the brain processes balance, vision, movement, and body awareness.

When these systems integrate more efficiently, symptoms such as dizziness, instability, migraines, fatigue, and brain fog often improve.

This method is used across presentations including concussion, whiplash, dysautonomia, ADHD, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, nerve injuries, and performance optimisation.


Who This Care Is For

This approach may be suitable if you experience:

  • Balance disorders or migraines

  • Ongoing symptoms after concussion or whiplash

  • Chronic pain or chronic fatigue

  • Dysautonomia including POTS

  • ADHD or nervous system regulation challenges

  • Nerve injuries

  • Reduced athletic or cognitive performance

  • Persistent symptoms without clear resolution

Care is always adapted to your goals and nervous system capacity.


Medical LASER Therapy

Medical LASER Therapy is used alongside hands on and brain focused care to reduce inflammation and support tissue and nervous system recovery.

When combined with Chiropractor and neurological treatment, it supports pain reduction, healing efficiency, and recovery progression.
