Our Chiropractors

Dr Daniel Bank – Chiropractor

Doctor of Chiropractic

Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, Dr. Daniel J. Bank brings a warm Southern charm and a passion for helping people feel their best to Sports ‘n’ Spines Chiropractic. After earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in the United States, Daniel moved to Australia in 2005, where he’s since made a lasting impact on the chiropractic community. With 27 years of treating patients and hundreds of hours of post graduate courses to learn effective techniques for improving body function and reducing discomfort, you will be in good hands with Dr. Dan.

With years of experience owning and operating clinics in Mackay and South Brisbane, Dr. Bank is dedicated to achieving outstanding results for his clients. His approach focuses not only on relieving pain but on promoting long-term health through prevention and maintenance—because, as he often says, “it’s far better to stay well than to fix things once they break.”

Daniel takes great pride in seeing his patients regain movement, strength, and confidence in their bodies. His commitment to continual improvement and genuine care for his clients’ wellbeing set him apart as both a practitioner and a mentor.

Now proudly calling Brisbane home, Daniel lives with his wife Lynelle and their son Adam. When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find him hiking with the family dog, hitting the gym with Adam, or enjoying quality time with Lynelle. He’s also quick to express his gratitude to the local community for welcoming him—and his “funny accent”—with open arms.

At Sports ‘n’ Spines Chiropractic, Dr. Bank looks forward to helping every client move, feel, and live better—one spine at a time.

“I am excited and deeply grateful for the opportunity to join the Redland Bay community as your local chiropractor. It is a privilege to become part of such a welcoming and vibrant area, and I look forward to contributing positively to the health and wellbeing of the families who call this place home.

Thank you for the warmth and support I have already received. I truly appreciate the trust you place in those who care for your health, and I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and personalised chiropractic care to every individual who walks through my doors.

I look forward to serving this wonderful community, building lasting relationships, and supporting you on your journey to better movement, comfort, and overall wellbeing.”

With gratitude,

Dr Tammie Markham – Chiropractor

BSc MClin (Chiro)

Tammie has always been passionate about healthcare; after receiving great benefits from chiropractic care she decided to further her knowledge in the profession. Tammie completed her Bachelor of Science (chiropractic) and Masters of Clinical Chiropractic at CQUniversity.

Since graduation Tammie has acquired further certificates in ART, IASTM, dry needling, DNS, Inspiral Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) and the Thompson Technique. Tammie continually strives to broaden her knowledge and skill base allowing her to provide a tailored, individualised, multimodality approach when managing and caring for her clients.

Outside of clinic, Tammie’s interests include CrossFit, touch football camping, time with her dogs and games nights with friends.

A word from Tammie

“Over the years I have suffered multiple sporting injuries. This is what drove my passion to learn more about musculoskeletal conditions and appropriate management to get the best results with not only short-term but long-term goals. I understand what the emotional and physical strain of being in pain and not performing at your best can be. I enjoy finding ways to improve the bodies flexibility and range of motion which in turn enhances recovery, sports performance and injury prevention. There are many ways to help us perform at our best, recover from ailments, improve health and achieve our goals whether it be getting back in the garden or reaching new PB’s. 

I have a positive attitude and am always eager to learn new ways to live a healthy productive life. Doing so means we are able to do the things we have to do or need to do (like dressing, looking after children or going to work), things we want to do (like gardening or going to the gym) but also perform such activities without limitation or even hesitation. I am excited about what that life can bring”.

Tammie is registered with AHPRA and a member of the Australian Chiropractic Association.
