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.
