Found Shawn great. He gave me a lot of help with my neck and back.

Was treated there, gave some temporary relief but a misdiagnosis of the core issue meant they weren't ever going to be able to fix the thing completely. Plus I thought they were a bit expensive, although I may have gotten a discount from the sports physio as I went through the college.

Please stop. If people feel better after visiting these practitioners, fine.
This is not the place to discuss the validity of this and that treatment.

OP asked about the validity of the treatment, in how it worked for people. Stay on topic, biko. Tut tut.

So you've been to this one? OP asked about a specific business. If you haven't been, then you *are* off topic yourself.

Hey I hear chiropractors can help with your sense of humour as well, sweet cheeks.

My own fault I suppose for feedin'

Just getting a bit 'yawn' at this stage tbh

OP, never been to City, but a friend has and found them ok. When I've had back trouble I've gone to Karl Prendergast in Salthill. He is also a registered osteopath, and I would recommend him.

+1 for Karl (also from personal experience).

Chiros have some bad press re certain practice development practices that some adopt. (google it). Osteos have a lot more training, and generally a far more gentle approach.

I'm starting to think you're not actually as smart as some of your posts indicate.

Nuff said.

No, I went to a chiropractor when I was 16; He realigned my spine so that my sciatic nerve impinged on my humerus and I can no longer laugh. Just go to a Physiotherapist. Chiropractic is to Medicine what Creationism is to Biology.

+2 for Karl, he has really helped me (neck and upper back problems) and is a very sound guy.

I went to a highly recommended physiotherapist for months and he diagnosed my back problem correctly but did SFA to fix it. Gave up on that and ended up in City Chiropractic and my back pain is all but gone now. Happy daze
