Waking up on a Saturday morning with an acute neck spasm, or suffering a severe lower back tweak during a weekend match, can quickly ruin your plans. Whether you require urgent pain relief, structural joint mobilization, or emergency soft-tissue treatment, our experienced clinical team is available to get you back on your feet without delay.

“I flew into Dublin and woke up the next morning with my back completely locked up—an absolute nightmare at the start of our trip. I frantically searched for an emergency weekend appointment and was lucky enough to find Peter at Dublin City Osteopath. He sorted my back out immediately, completely saving the trip. As a bonus, since he is from West Cork, he gave us some fantastic local recommendations for our drive down the Wild Atlantic Way. Two birds with one stone: a fixed back and an amazing holiday! Highly recommend.”

  • We maintain transparent pricing for all our emergency and standard treatments. For the most up-to-date information on our consultation fees and treatment packages, please review the newly updated rates on our Price List page.

  • Please wear loose, comfortable clothing such as gym wear, shorts, or leggings. Because osteopathy involves hands-on structural assessment and joint mobilization, restrictive clothing like tight jeans or heavy fabrics can limit our ability to accurately evaluate and treat your mobility.

  • No, you do not need prior imaging to book an emergency appointment. We will conduct a comprehensive clinical, neurological, and orthopedic assessment during your consultation to diagnose the root cause of your acute pain. If your specific condition requires an MRI or further medical imaging, we will advise you and can provide the appropriate referrals.

  • Yes. Our weekend emergency appointments are designed for immediate relief. As long as it is clinically safe to do so following your initial assessment, your 30 to 45-minute session will consist of 100% hands-on structural treatment to address your acute pain right away.
