Conditions We Treat: A Regional Guide to Your Body

At Dublin City Osteopath, we provide targeted manual therapy and rehabilitation for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. Whether you are dealing with a sudden sports injury, chronic postural strain, or post-operative stiffness, our treatments are tailored to your specific symptoms.

Below is a guide to the common conditions we treat, organized by body region:

Spine, Back & Neck Pain

Your spine is your body's foundation. We treat acute and chronic pain stemming from the joints, discs, and surrounding muscles.

  • Neck (Cervical): Whiplash, wry neck (torticollis), joint stiffness (facet joint dysfunction), discogenic disorders, and osteoarthritis.

  • Mid-Back & Ribs (Thoracic): Rib pain (costo-vertebral dysfunction), scoliosis, and thoracic outlet syndrome.

  • Lower Back (Lumbar): Nerve root irritation, disc disorders, arthritis, lumbo-pelvic issues, and post-operative rehabilitation (such as after a laminectomy or discectomy).

  • Pelvis (Sacral): Sacro-iliac (SI) joint dysfunction and sciatic nerve referral.

Headaches & Jaw Pain

Tension in the upper body often refers upward, causing disruptive headaches and facial pain.

  • Head & Face: Neck-related headaches (cervicogenic conditions), jaw pain (temporomandibular disorders / TMJ), and cranio-sacral shifts.

Shoulder, Arm & Hand Injuries

From desk work to athletics, repetitive strain and joint instability in the upper body are incredibly common.

  • Shoulder: Rotator cuff tendonitis and impingements, frozen shoulder, recurrent dislocations, AC joint dysfunction, and repetitive strain.

  • Elbow: Tennis elbow, Golfer’s elbow, repetitive strain, and olecranon bursitis.

  • Wrist & Hand: Carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive strain injuries (RSI), and thumb/finger tendon issues (De Quervain’s syndrome and trigger finger).

Hip, Leg & Knee Pain

We treat the lower extremities to restore mobility, improve alignment, and recover from sports injuries.

  • Hip & Groin: Osteoarthritis of the hip, sacro-iliac referral, bursitis (trochanteric), and groin strains (adductor/iliopsoas).

  • Thigh: Hamstring, quadriceps, and adductor muscle strains, as well as femoral and sciatic nerve referral pain.

  • Knee: Ligament sprains (ACL, MCL, LCL), cartilage injuries, runner's knee (ilio-tibial band friction syndrome), patellar tendonitis/bursitis, and osteoarthritis.

Ankle & Foot Conditions

Your feet bear the brunt of your daily movement. We help resolve pain that limits your walking or running.

  • Ankle: Ligament sprains, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, and post-fracture rehabilitation.

  • Foot: Plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, Morton’s neuroma, and recovery from metatarsal fractures.

Neurological Symptoms

  • Nerve Pain: We treat peripheral and plexus-originated neurological lesions, addressing the global pathways that cause localized pain, tingling, or numbness.
