DC Physiotherapy Physio Clondalkin: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I had a bulging disc between my C6 and C7. I wanted to avoid surgery. I had 10 sessions of non surgical decompression, laser treatment and massage. I was given daily exercises to do. The pain and numbness is subsiding and nearly gone. I am able to have a normal life now. I'm very impressed and highly recommend DC Physio.
Fantastic experience: I met DC Physiotherapy and explained that I am deaf. I brought an interpreter with me, and the staff were very supportive. I had suffered with lower back pain for 4 years since April 2022, caused by a disc problem. I did not want surgery, and I also decided against injections in my lower back. I met Aonghus, a staff member at DC Physiotherapy. He helped me with physiotherapy and clearly explained non-surgical decompression used for the disc and nerve. I had never tried this before. I lay on a specialist treatment bed and was very pleased with how quickly I was able to start treatment. I started feeling results within a few days, which was amazing. After about 4 months, my back improved a lot with no serious pain. I can now walk, go out, drive, and enjoy running and jogging again. I am still improving and hope to return to full running soon. I am very happy with the results and truly amazed. I give DC Physiotherapy 5 stars. I would especially like to thank Aonghus for his professionalism, patience, and support. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable during treatment.
Fantastic experience: I would like to share my positive feedback after completing 10 non-Surgical Spinal Decompression therapy sessions. I feel significantly better, and my pain has completely disappeared. The treatment was professional, effective, and carefully tailored to my needs. I truly appreciate the care, dedication, and expertise that made such a great improvement in my condition. I highly recommend DC Physiotherapy Clondalkin and Maftei Tarmure to anyone in need of effective and compassionate treatment.
Fantastic experience: Maftei is so brilliant, from the start he showed great empathy, he explained everything in great detail, I went to DC Physiotherapy for ten sessions, I found that the treatment they use is fantastic, you get great value for your money, Mafei is a great person to explain everything in such great detail, Any questions that I had, he explained in great length, I would highly recommend Mafei, I have improved emensly and if needed I would definitely go back again. Sandra
Fantastic experience: I can honestly say a very professional service provided here would highly recommend to anyone with back problems Deirdre Walkinstown
Fantastic experience: Excellent and very helpful sessions to improve back pain, truly recommended
Fantastic experience: I’ve been struggling with lower back pain for couple of years, MRI showed L5 S1 protrusion. I decided to try back decompression therapy in DC Physiotherapy Clondalkin. My physiotherapist Gary explained everything to me at our first session, showed me exercises that will together with decompression help me with my back pain. I think after 3rd or 4th session I started to feel the difference and after finishing my 10 sessions pain is gone in 95%. I can highly recommend Gary and DC Physiotherapy
Fantastic experience: I can wholeheartedly recommend Sport Injury Clinic. When I showed up for my first decompression session, I couldn't bend down, I couldn't do simple household chores, let alone about the immense pain. After the first treatment, I was delighted. My physiotherapist, Maftis, explained very thoroughly what the decompression would involve, and was very cheerful and friendly. I recommend him wholeheartedly. Beata
Fantastic experience: With the help from the physio team here i am now pain free. Professional & polite staff. Yes it is a little expensive but money well spent & more importantly my mobility has improved 100%. With 4 bulging discs on nerves my treatment plan has definitely worked. I Absolutely recommend DC Physio. I will continue to do a maintenance program .Thank you DC Physio.
Fantastic experience: My experience with DC Physiotherapy has been excellent.
Fantastic experience: I had a bulging disc and was not able to stand straight, after attending DC clinic for a few sessions I was completely back to myself in which I thought would never happen. Robbie I can’t thank you enough and your practice for what you have done you are throughly amazing so thank you.
Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience with Peter in DC Physio. I presented with low back pain and sciatica that was painful and debilitating. I also had issues with a recent injury to my right knee.I completed the recommended course of treatment and my sciatica was eradicated and my knee improved substantially. Peter was professional kind and attentive during all my treatment. It was a mix of spinal decompression, massage, and laser treatment. Peter is one of the best masseuse’s ever, always hitting the sore spots and releasing tight painful muscles. He also prescribed a range of gentle exercises to be carried out at home between sessions. I cannot praise him highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I had been dealing with mild chronic pain from two bulged discs in my lower back for the past two years. After finally deciding to try back decompression therapy at DC Physiotherapy in Clondalkin, I experienced incredible results. After just six sessions, I am completely pain-free and no longer experience any stiffness in my back. The physiotherapist, Peter Quinn, was exceptionally professional and attentive. The combination of laser red light, massage, and traction bed was carefully tailored to my needs and truly worked miracles. I highly recommend DC Physiotherapy and Peter Quinn to anyone dealing with similar issues!
Fantastic experience: After suffering for many years with a herniated disc at L5/S1 and not been able to put pressure on my left leg I decided to give non-surgical spinal decompression a go to see if it would help . I was assigned to Aonghus one of the therapists who initially explained the procedure and he immediately put me at ease . After the first session I had already felt an improvement in mobility and less pain . I decided to do a course of treatment with Aonghus and thankfully it was one of my better decisions i have made ,more mobility, flexibility and less pain . I have no hesitation in recommending Aonghus at DC Physiotherapy . Thanks again for all your help !!"
Fantastic experience: Just finished a slot of 10 decompression therapy sessions with Peter. I highly recommend these guys, they’re super professional and very advanced in their knowledge when it comes to back/spinal issues. Huge improvement in my lower back pain and in general
Positive experience: Went there for the first time, let's see whats the results are going to be. But it seems like a good place. The Treatment and professionalism is amazing, highlyt recommed this physio to anyone suffering from Sayatica
Fantastic experience: Having had lower back problems since the late eighties (L4 L5 S1) and have had five mri scans each showing a worsening condition i decided to give DC physiotherapy a try. I had exhausted every possible avenue trying to avoid the surgery option. When I arrived for my first consultation with Gary I was literally doubled over in pain.Gary was meticulous with his approach and explained everything to me in great detail. Honestly after my first consultation I could feel the pain had eased. I had three more consultations with aonghus and again the level of professionalism was first class. So in summary if like me you are currently suffering with debilitating back pain or just need a maintenance programme give this clinic a go. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been struggling with back pain for about two years, but two months ago things became unbearable. I suddenly developed severe back and neck pain, to the point where I couldn’t walk for a couple of days. I also had intense pain radiating through my shoulder and arm. It was honestly a nightmare. A friend of my husband recommended DC Physiotherapy Clinic, and I’m so grateful he did. After my assessment, I learned that I had a herniated disc, and the team recommended a course of 10 nonsurgical spinal decompression sessions. I’ll admit I was a bit sceptical at first, but the pain was so strong that I decided to go ahead with the treatment. I am so glad I did. With every session, I felt better and better. After just the fourth session, I was shocked to realise that most of the pain was already gone. I’ve now completed all 10 sessions, and I can honestly say I haven’t felt this good—or pain-free—in years. A huge thank you to the entire clinic and especially to my therapist, Gary, for the professionalism, care, and support throughout my treatment. I truly appreciate everything you’ve done for me. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I was training for the Dublin City Marathon in 2024 but constant lower back and glute pain stopped me from making the start line. When the same issue came back this year, I decided to try DC Physiotherapy’s spinal decompression treatment after seeing it on social media. Aonghus was brilliant — after just 8 sessions, I was pain-free and able to complete the 2025 DCM! Huge thanks to him and the whole team for their help and advice throughout.
Fantastic experience: I can not thank Aonghus Loughnane enough for helping me get my life back. I went to him after months of severe lower back pain my MRI showed a bulge disc issue, and I had tried almost everything before. From the very first session, he took the time to properly evaluate the root cause instead of just treating the symptoms.He explained what was going on in a clear, practical way and recommended a course of decompression therapy along with some targeted exercises. The sessions were professional, and I could feel a real difference week by week.What really stood out was how much time and attention Aonghus gave to making sure I understood the process and that we were progressing safely. After a few weeks, my pain had reduced dramatically, and now I am back to normal activities l. something I wasn’t sure would happen again. If you are struggling with back pain or a disc problem, I do absolutely recommend seeing Aonghus. His approach is thorough, evidence-based, and genuinely focused on long-term recovery, not quick fixes.
Fantastic experience: I have just finished a course (10) of spinal decompression and I am thrilled with the outcome. All the sciatic pain has gone and my back feels so much more flexible and free. Very efficient clinic, always on time and very pleasant personnel. Thank you Peter.
Fantastic experience: They are really good, I would highly recommend going to them and booking with Aonghus Loughnane. I had 10 sessions with them which was recommended and I would definitely recommend the 10 sessions. I went to them as I had 4 bulging discs in the back and my right leg was always in pain with the sciatica when I walked until I went to them. My sciatica is pretty much gone and I can walk with out any pain in my right leg. I am very happy with the outcome.
Fantastic experience: I completed a 10 week course of spinal decompression, massage and laser therapy with Aonghus to address pain caused by bulging discs in my lower back and a sensation of numbness in the backs of my thighs. It was very successful in addressing both. I saw major progress in the first 2-3 weeks and more minor progress in the remaining 7 weeks but it's important to see it through. Aonghus was great to deal with, kind, chatty but most importantly was able to target the treatment to treat my symptoms. Any questions I had were answered satisfactorily and I really got the sense that he knew what he was talking about. I would recommend DC Physiotherapy Clondalkin to anyone having problems similar to mine.
Fantastic experience: Just completed 10 spinal decompression sessions with Robbie Cuff. He was very professional and the sessions have helped me too get back too work and have me back too normality in everyday tasks. Can't highly recommend this treatment and clinic enough. Book in if you have any issues
Negative experience: I underwent 10 sessions of decompression therapy for a slipped disc at L1–S5, which was causing mild sciatica pain. I fully committed to the treatment plan and diligently followed all the recommended exercises to give it the best possible chance. Unfortunately, I experienced no pain relief by the end of the sessions, and my MRI results showed no improvement or movement in the disc bulge compared to the MRI taken before the treatment. As a result, my surgery was delayed by several months, during which time my consultant advised that I may have caused slightly more nerve damage. It’s disappointing to have invested both time and money without seeing any benefit. That said, the facilities are good and the physiotherapists are all very friendly, professional, and supportive.
Fantastic experience: Completed a course of spinal decompression therapy with Aonghus and it has completely transformed my quality of life. After pregnancy 2 years I developed sciatica and my treatment here began in August when I could barely walk due to a disc protrusion in my L5/ S1 nerve root. The sessions were relaxing, very comfortable and really gave great relief to my back and problematic leg. Aonghus is a wealth of knowledge and made me understand what was causing the problem and exercises I could do at home to help. This combined with the spinal decompression bed has given me back my ability to walk correctly, sleep better and I would recommend them to anyone.
Negative experience: Was considering attending until i called to ask for info about spinal decompression therapy, person i spoke to who I understand was actually the owner wasn't interested in providing any help, told me to look at website, didn't ask anything about issues i had or if i wanted to book in. Very poor and rude customer service. If you don't want to speak with people on phone, hire people with good communication and proper phone skills to do so.
Fantastic experience: Gary has been very professional and put me at ease straight away. Explained all the treatments in detail & the difference I’ve felt is unbelievable with pain greatly reduced within 10 weeks. I have 4 bulging discs in my neck & 3 in my lumbar.
Fantastic experience: Hi, Just to say a big thanks to DC physio and especially Aonghus who looked after me very well. I had 2 bulging discs in my back and was in considerable pain and had limited movement when I first called to DC in May this year. After having a chat with Aonghus I decided to have the 10 week course of decompression treatment Thankfully this treatment worked very well for me and I could feel the benefits from week 3 to 4 onwards to where I am today where my back problem is more or less resolved. Aonghus was very professional and always on the ball asking how I felt during and after each session and how I felt at work etc. I would highly recommend DC PHYSIO to anyone who was looking for treatment. Best wishes and tks again to DC and Aonghus. Cheers. Dermot.
Fantastic experience: I was told in July i would need surgery on an L4/L5 disc protrusion. I decided to try an alternative method. I just finished my 11th session with Aonghus today. He was very professional and showed empathy towards ny injury. I always left a session being psychologically better than before. For me, this is not a quick fix as I gad nerve damage that takes time. What I will say is, that coupled with a solid determination to alway do the rehab, spinal decompression can have a huge difference on your recovery and I would recommend the lads to anyone. It's definitely worth a try. I also want give an honorable mention to Paddy who I had dealings with over the couple of months.
Negative experience: Had a good consultation with Aonghus, lovely guy who explained everything, very professional, genuinely nice caring person. Called a few days later and got Dave who I assume is the owner to advise I was still in alot of pain, during the call I could hear he was typing and very uninterested. Very condescending and insensitive as I’m sure he is very aware clients that call are in pain when they call. Offered no support whatsoever so I cancelled my appt that was due due Friday with aonghus. Apologies aonghus but although u are a lovely guy ur front of house is not. Thumbs up for aonghus, zero for Dave
Fantastic experience: I was in bad shape and looking like surgery was the only option after 2 different injections didn’t work. My wife sent me a link to DC therapy and I said sure I’ll have a look. I made an appointment and it was the best phone call I’ve ever made. I met with Gary who made everything from day 1 simple. I’m now back playing regular golf and doing all the things I wasn’t able to do only a couple of months ago so I would definitely recommend these guys if you have a back injuries. Thanks a million Gary and your team Kieran Smith
Fantastic experience: I have been having back issues for quite some time now and luckily found DC Physiotherapy. Aonghus has gone above and beyond to ensure I received the best out of the treatment. I have completed 10 sessions and will continue to do a top up session every couple of weeks as it has given me a new lease of life. Spinal decompression has saved me from having surgery on herniated discs. Aonghus' knowledge and expertise around my injury was very commendable as he explained exactly what my MRI showed. I would highly recommend to anyone with back/neck issues.
Fantastic experience: After many months of excruciating back pain I tried some sessions of spinal compression for a bulging disc. The results were very quick and relieved me of the pain straight away. I cannot thank Aonghus enough for his professionalism and would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of going for spinalcompression treatment.
Fantastic experience: I completed 8 decompression therapy sessions with Aonghus. He was friendly and explained everything as the sessions progressed. My back pain and discomfort have greatly improved. I have been able to return to my daily activities. I would highly recommend DC Physiotherapy and Aonghus for his professionalism.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Aonghus now for 8 sessions, he has been very helpful and accommodating to getting me in for decompression. I cannot recommend the service highly enough. Spinal decompression has saved me from having surgery after two herniated discs. Highly recommend to all
Fantastic experience: Aonghus,was very helpful and explained everything so I could understand very clearly and he was very helpful ,I am a 55 year old man, so it worked very well for me, I done 8 sessions and to tell you the truth I was in bits with Sciatica, and I can say I am now 90percent better, I can go swimming ♂️ and I can do a full walk in the park ,but I also worked with the physo by exercise, swimming and stretching and sofort, so would recommend Aonghus,100 percent,.Terry maxwell
Fantastic experience: Completed the 10 sessions of spinal decompression. Had a herinated disc, a pretty large herniation, L5/S1 disc. Was bed bound for the first 5 days. Thought id give the spine decompression a go as i didnt want to have surgery. Started the spine decompression the week after. Got Gary as physio and he had talked me through the whole process of how it works. Pain was a 10/10 when i first started was barely able to walk. After 4 session pain was probably a 5/10. Every week i noticed a difference. After about 6-7 sessions i had walked 10km that saturday and had no pain after it. Finished the 10 sessions and feel like im 95% of the way there, just slight pain trying to touch my toes in my hamstring but pain is slowly going away every day with stretches Gary had given me. 10 sessions sound long at the start but they had flew in, 2 sessions a week almost. Gary was great help and helped me staying positive when i thought i would never get better at the start. Would recommend him to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I didn't think I would be able to live without back pain and sciatica but here I found my salvation! I thank Aonghus for his professionalism, he is extraordinary, I recommend him with all my heart! Aonghus you are the best! thank you
Fantastic experience: Life-Changing Physiotherapy Treatment for L5/S1 Disc Protrusion I recently completed 12 sessions of decompression physiotherapy for an L5/S1 disc protrusion, and I couldn't be more grateful for the results. When I first came to Aonghus, I was struggling with intense pain and difficulty even walking or stand for longer than 2min. It was a challenging time in my life, and I wasn't sure if I would ever regain my quality of life. From the very first session, Aonghus made me feel at ease. He always greeted me with a smile and took the time to carefully explain each step of the treatment plan, which helped reduce my anxiety and gave me confidence in the process. Aonghus tailored my sessions to my specific needs and was always encouraging. Thanks to the decompression therapy, along with the exercises he recommended, I am now able to walk with much more ease, and I can finally do exercises I thought I would never be able to do again. The improvement in my mobility and quality of life has been remarkable. I can’t thank Aonghus enough for his expertise, patience, and support throughout this challenging period. Many thanks, Ivânia
Fantastic experience: I came to Aonghus Loughname with herniated discs and was initially struggling with pain and limited mobility. The progress was slow at times, and there were a few setbacks along the way, but he remained patient, encouraging, and consistently adjusted the treatment plan to suit my recovery. Thanks to his expertise and persistence, I completed the full treatment and feel significantly better now. I’m grateful for the care and support throughout the journey—highly recommend for anyone dealing with disc-related issues.
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Aoughus Loughnane at DC Physiotherapy. He was incredibly helpful, professional, and knowledgeable throughout my treatment. From the very first session, I felt confident in his approach—he took the time to explain everything clearly and tailored the treatment to my specific needs. His friendly and supportive manner made a real difference in my recovery. Many thanks to Aoughus for his care and expertise—I highly recommend him to anyone seeking physiotherapy for spinal decompression .
Fantastic experience: It was my husband who discovered DC Physio through their radio ads and I am so pleased that he did because I had been through the worst bout of sciatica I had ever had for 6 months and I had tried my usual treatments for pain relief and nothing was working and then I went to DC Physio and met Robbie. I completed ten sessions of Decompression Physio last week and I am happy to report that my pain and discomfort has diminished significantly. I feel like I have my life back and I cannot recommend highly enough. Robbie was the first person who actually understood the negative effects my pain was having on my life and the amount of effort it was taking me to complete everyday tasks on a daily basis. Robbie's experience, insight and knowledge are clearly evident and I would like to thank him, Gary and all the team all the best for the future. Kindest regards, Myra Malone.
Fantastic experience: I have tried absolutely everything, you name it, I have tried it from acupuncture to general physio to chiropractors and Aonghus has been the only person to sort my neck pain out. He has explained and educated me throughout the process on my condition and expectation throughout. I have done 10 spinal decompression sessions so far and have found it to be the best form of relief from my pain. Aonghus has given my progressive exercises to keep my pain away and strengthen up my neck which I need with being a chef. I'd highly recommended Aonghus especially with how hand on and informational he has been.
Fantastic experience: I had my first session today for cervical decompression after 5 years of suffering and multiple treatments in different countries.I can't believe myself did wonders hoping for best feels like new hope .
Fantastic experience: I completed 12 sessions of spinal decompression with Aonghus in the past 7 weeks. To say I couldn't walk into the first session is an understatement. I had loss of power in my right leg which caused a limp that was making my pain worse. Today having session 12 I now no longer need "compulsory surgery" every session I did with Aonghus he checked in and gave me more movements and more tips to each exercise to complete the overall rehab which I really can't explain how much my life has just improved on a day to day basis. I am back training, walking, moving, sleeping better my leg is fine I got all power back I can plan things again to do as opposed to just planning to go home and lie down everyday for the pain. MASSIVE THANKS to Aonghus he's extremely knowledgeable and experienced in what he does I genuinely wouldn't be doing what I used to do without his help! So for anyone with a spine/disc problem don't hesitate to give the decompression a go you really only can gain from it.
Fantastic experience: I couldn't be more thankful to Gary, from day one till the last session very professional, I did 10 sessions and finally after years of pain with my bulging disc and sciatica, I am able to sleep and do normal activities without the pain, and believe me I was at a stage where I couldn't walk, the treatment is worth every single penny, I highly recommend the lads. Thanks again
Fantastic experience: I recently completed a course of treatment with DC Physio for a cervical disc bulge issue which caused chronic pain from a trapped nerve. After 15 sessions of decompression therapy my pain has been eliminated completely. I must call out Robbie for his exceptional care and professionalism throughout my treatment. I cannot recommend Robbie and DC Physio highly enough. Because of this treatment i have avoided surgery and i am back to full fitness , thank you!
Fantastic experience: If you’re not sure about trying spinal decompression, give it a try! It’s less “torture” than you think. It’s not a miracle cure but it definitely helped me improve mobility with my L5S1 herniation. Cannot recommend Aonghus enough! He’s the best, very grateful for his help
Fantastic experience: Well I came into Aonghus Loughname, 10 weeks ago in bits. Agony to move around, lie down ,sitting , standing. Just awful. Doctors said surgery was me only option . Now I'm up and about again with about 95% less pain and .my head space is much better now with much less pain involved. The wife likes me again now. After about 3 sessions I felt like a new man. I can't recommend him enough to anyone suffering from back pain or sciatic nerve pain or spine troubles. So thank you Aonghus pal. Your a legend. Matt Hennessy.
Fantastic experience: After 5 sessions with Aonghus I’ve seen real improvement in my knee and lower back issues. I’ve now got the toolkit of exercises I need to keep the pain away and I know where to go if symptoms reoccur.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Aonghus at DC Physiotherapy for all his professional help with my knee injury. His knowledge is impeccable and he is very understanding and empathetic. The home exercises were very helpful too. "Thank you" for all you're support when needed
Fantastic experience: I completed 10 session with DC physiotherapy with Aonghus Loughnane. Sessions went excellent and treatment is smooth. I did had some occasional flareup's next day of treatments which i warned already by physio. Overall my pain was reduced and doing my exercise regularity helps. I feel much better after sessions as mobility improved. I would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I completed 8 sessions with DC physiotherapy , I had spinal decompression on my neck. My symptoms were pins and needles and numbness in my hands in the mornings. This is down to degenerative disc disease.I was working with Aonghus who was brilliant throughout. He was very thorough out the course of treatments. I have to say I got great relief from the treatment. Aonghus gave me exercises to do while I’m at home and these I found very beneficial. Would recommend for anyone with this type of trouble. Thanks Aonghus
Fantastic experience: I have just completed my 10 spinal decompression course with Physio Gary. I'm feeling 99% better now than on my first session. I was in a lot of pain & discomfort with slipped discs and scatica when I first arrived, but with a lot of guidance & helpful advice, I've managed to feel better and more like myself with less pain and less medication on a daily basis. I would highly recommend DC PHYSIO and decompression of the spine treatment to anyone suffering. I am so glad I went & would like to thank Gary for my physio, extremely helpful & patience.
Fantastic experience: Robbie has helped me get back into the gym with the physiotherapy sessions. Always made me feel welcomed would definitely recommend .
Thank you for your kind words, Ross! We're thrilled to hear that Robbie was able to assist you in getting back to the gym. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to continuing to support your journey!
Fantastic experience: I came to Aonghus just before Christmas I couldn't move freely or work after 10 sessions I'm so much better would highly recommend
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I suffered from a very minor bulging disc for around six years when I booked 10 sessions here in November/December. Though I didn't suffer the intense pain some with disc problems do, it impacted my daily life in a big way. Sitting, strenuous exercise and bending over were my main triggers. While my problems aren't full over I would definitely recommend this treatment to anyone suffering with disc problems. After 10 sessions, I have seen big improvements and while I am not completely "fixed" yet, daily life has become a lot easier and the reduction in discomfort as well as the exercises given to me by the physio have given me confidence in my body again. The treatment had little to no problems and felt very good. It wasn't exactly all smooth sailing, I suffered a flair up half way through and there was pain at times (usually the day after treatments) but in the end I took massive strides towards being completely free from my back pain. I couldn't speak more highly of the physio I worked with Aonghus. He was very knowledgeable and answer the hundreds of questions I must have asked him over the 10 weeks. The exercises he gave me to do outside of the sessions have helped me regain confidence in my body and overall, he was just a really nice fella to chat to while you are stuck in a chair for an hour a week. I am definitely not out of the woods yet, with certain actions (sitting, lifting heavy things) still causing some discomfort but with every week of continuing the exercises I feel the improvement in my back. I would definitely recommend this treatment and this clinic to anyone suffering with back problems.
Fantastic experience: With a recent MRI showing a bulging spinal disc which caused paralysing pain, I found myself under the care of Aonghus Loughnane at DC Physio clinic for a recommended ten sessions of decompression therapy. The pain had largely vanished after the first three sessions meaning I could once again face walking with some confidence. Huge thanks to Aonghus and the team.
Fantastic experience: I have nothing but positives to say about DC Physiotherapy. Aonghus has been my physio and from the minute I arrived I was dealt with so professionally. Aonghus listened to my worries and concerns attentively. I had been involved in an accident and had a number of protruding discs in my neck. Aonghus explained how the decompression therapy works and how it may help improve my situation. I was unable to look sideways, or look up or down with ease and I was in terrible pain from whiplash. I did ten sessions and the result has been amazing! I am delighted with the outcome. Flexibility has been restored and after just a few sessions the pain was considerably reduced. I would highly recommend the decompression treatment at DC Physiotherapy. Aonghus was so kind and empathetic throughout the process. He is very knowledgeable and does his very best to get the best outcome for you. Thank you for all your help.
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with DC Physiotherapy, Aonghus, the therapist talked me through the process on day one and encouraged me to stick with and trust that it worked. He was right, a few ups and downs then finally great success. I could barely move as I arrived for my first session, can now walk with ease and through continuous movement and personalised exercise plan, am getting stronger and more confident in how my back and two replacement hips are supporting me. Definitely back on track. Thank you DC Physiotherapy and Aonghus. Maura Griffin
Negative experience: I paid for 10 sessions of spinal decompression in September 2024. I have a protruded disc (L5- S1). My pain got worse session after session but I was dismissed, being told that it would get worse before getting better. It got to the point where I couldn't walk. I cancelled 2 sessions because of sickness and all my remaining appointments were cancelled to accommodate new patients.I called David to understand what was going on and was met with very little empathy. It seems that money is the main goal for him. I asked for a refund of my following appointments which thankfully was given to me. Do you research before you book, talk to your GP or ask other physios for their advice on spinal decompression. They guarantee 100% success. It's not true.
Fantastic experience: I saw Aonghus for sciatica pain and I feel fantastic now. I am so grateful that I found DC physio. Thank you so much Aonghus.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Vivienne! We're thrilled to hear that Angus was able to help alleviate your sciatica pain. Your gratitude means a lot to us, and we're here to support you anytime!
Fantastic experience: I arrived at DC Physiotherapy with bulged disk and in really bad shape. During first appointment Gary explained complete process and what I can expect. At first I was a bit suspicious but after 3rd treatment my symptoms significantly improved. With 10 therapies I feel like a new person.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the level of care and help provided when I had spinal decompression done.real professional with the physiotherapy and information on the correct exercises needed to build up the strength in my neck, when I came first to DC physiotherapy I had 30% movement and now have full movement after 10 sessions done over 5 weeks, thank you very much DC and big shout out to my physiotherapist Paddy Clarke
Fantastic experience: A great practice, I'm in the middle of nerve decompression therapy there and it's going quite well and I've seen a great improvement in my back so far, I'm confident it can only get better. Very professional staff and all genuinely lovely people.
Fantastic experience: I could'nt walk with the pain in my back. I took a course of 5 spine compression treatments.The best thing I've done in a long time. Paddy Clarke I can't praise enough . He was so knowledgeable and professional. I would totally recommend Dc Physiotherapy and Paddy Clarke
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend DC Physiotherapy highly enough,from get go I was made feel at ease and every step was explained to me in detail,as the weeks passed my condition improved greatly and looked forward to the journey from Wexford, thanks again Gary for working your schedule around my time.
Thank you for sharing your experience with DC Physiotherapy
Fantastic experience: I've just finished 10 sessions with Paddy and omg id fully recommend DC physiotherapy but definitely Paddy,I was out of work, I couldn't go the gym, I couldn't do anything cause of the pain I was in, I was on loads of different mediation and I really felt like I'd never get back to myself, Paddy went through my mri's with me explained the treatment and gave me a little bot of hope that I needed,, every new exercise he gave me I done and after 4 sessions I noticed a difference,, I ended up doing 10 sessions finished last week and I'm not off all mediation I'm back in the gym the last 4 weeks and I'm pain free, the best person for the job is 100% Paddy, not only was he a brilliant physiotherapist he was also a great listener.
Thank you for sharing your experience with DC Physiotherapy
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Robert at DC Physiotherapy highly enough. I attended to help manage the daily pain I have from spinal stenosis. Robert listened to my symptoms and challenges. Over 6 sessions he treated them with manual therapy and deep heat treatments. These together with specific physio exercises have reduced the pain significantly and also helped increase my mobility.
Fantastic experience: After 3 years of having serious lower back pain thanks to disc issues, DC physiotherapy finally fixed my problems. After first meeting with Aonghus, i decided to commit to the 10 sessions twice weekly for 5 weeks of spinal decompression therapy. I felt relief straightaway and 5 weeks later, I feel like I've a new back! It's important to highlight it wasn't plain sailing, I had a few hiccups in my journey with some pain at different stages, but my advice would be to work through it and listen to your physio, Aonghus was great to work with the last 5 weeks, he provided expert guidance and great rehab exercises to work through to help me maximise the treatments, on top of that he's a great guy and I really enjoyed just chatting to him during our sessions. For anyone with spinal issues, you'd be mad not to try this treatment, important to highlight though its not a silver bullet to fix things, you need to do the work as advised by your physio away from the treatment room
Fantastic experience: . L4 & L5 compressed and pressing on the Sciatic nerve. Could barely walk. Beacon hospital offered only surgery to fix. DC physio was recommended by a relative as an alternative. So glad I went. Done the 10 spinal decompression treatment sessions with Paddy Clarke. Top man, really helpful guy Would definitely recommend Paddy and this particular type of spinal treatment for injuries the same or similar. Brian
Fantastic experience: I fully recommend DC Physio, I had a severe lower back problem that persisted for months. I worked with Aonghus, he showed great patience and empathy, and was very committed to get me back to 100%. I learnt a lot about treating my injury from Aonghus and am confident I can stay fit and healthy as a result. The facilities are excellent and the physios are exceptional.
Fantastic experience: In the space of 6 weeks only , I went from barely able to walk into the clinic to a full recovery from bad sciatica , so much so that I was able to resume my weekly 3 hour cycling hill climbs ! I had attended regular physio from a local clinic previously but I knew it wasn't getting to the root of my back problem and the pinched nerve. By chance , I came across DC Physio on the web and decided to give it a go. I went for the full 10 sessions after I had a very positive outcome from my first session. I cannot thank Paddy and Robbie enough for their wonderful care and professionalism , I'm absolutely delighted.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing aonghus for the last 10 weeks. I felt a big difference after the 3rd session . At the 5th session I had a bit of pain but aonghus sorted it and I have been great ever since. I haven't needed to take any pain killers since I started my treatment. I would highly recommend it. After years of injections that wear off after a few weeks, it's great to be pain free at last. Once you follow what your told to do you will see the difference Ann Collins
Fantastic experience: Done the 10 spinal decompression treatment sessions with Paddy Clarke and feel a lot better after having 3 slipped discs. Paddy was able to go through my MRI and tell me exactly what was wrong, and offered his extensive knowledge of the right stretches and exercises that I need to be doing for the best possible recovery. Would definitely recommend Paddy and this particular type of spinal treatment for injuries the same or similar.
Fantastic experience: Really helped mw with my sitacia, great results, the staff are very professional and friendly. Spotless clean highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend dc physiotherapy and there spinal decompression . I could barely walk in the door with two herniated discs in horrendous pain and didn't have much hope for the treatment but gave it a go as a last resort before surgery . The treatment and expertise from aonghus really put my fears at ease and it wasn't long before he had me back to my old self and back in the gym .
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service from these guys, would highly recommend going for any pain issues. Sorted my compressed disc problem with state of the art procedure. 10 stars
Thanks John
Fantastic experience: Contacting DC Physiotherapy is one of the best decisions I ever made! The Spinal Decompression Therapy they provide has been amazing for the treatment of my Mam's degenerative disc disease. The treatments suggested by her doctor were over the counter pain killers, steroid injections or surgery. As steroid injections and surgery were not acceptable options and pain killers were only masking the actual problem, a Google search for alternative options lead me to DC Physiotherapy. David advised that the therapy would very likely be a successful treatment for my Mam's condition. We agreed an appointment date, trying one session first to see if it made any difference with the option to avail of 10 sessions for the special discounted offer price if it did. My Mam was treated by Robbie Cuffe, an amazingly understanding, patient, thorough, professional and friendly physiotherapist. He is excellent at his job, with a gentle, caring nature and a brilliant sense of humour. As a bit of a sceptic, I was amazed at the result after just one session. My Mam even more so. She hobbled into the treatment room aided by a walking stick and my arm. She walked out without the necessity of either and described the treatment as very relaxing, so much so that one could easily fall asleep during it. My Mam had pain when sitting, walking, standing and lying down before this treatment and after just one session the pain had eased. She proceeded with 10 sessions and is a different person now, practically pain free. She can go for walks, sit and watch tv, stand in a queue for a short period and most importantly, sleep! I have recommended DC Physiotherapy to 5 different people since, all with back issues of varying degrees of seriousness and one on the verge of fusion surgery which only has a 50/50 success rate! This non invasive treatment has a much higher success rate for degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, herniated discs, sciatic pain etc. It's crazy that it is not recommended more by GPs and consultants. If you suffer with any of these conditions contact DC Physiotherapy about Spinal Decompression, it has changed my Mam's life! I can't recommend Robbie, DC Physiotherapy and the Spinal Decompression Therapy treatment highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Hi David, a message to say how pleased I am with the results of my treatment for cervical disc bulging problems. After months of pain, the spinal decompression, laser and physical therapy have all resulted in an almost complete elimination of both pain and discomfort on my right arm and hand. Josh was very knowledgable, helpful and reassuring throughout the entire treatment.Mags
Fantastic experience: Started to attend the clinic a few months ago to commence treatment for herniated discs, (disc decompression), after injuring my back. At this stage, I was unable to walk more than 50m without having to stop for a break from the pain, which was shooting down the front of my leg. I had visited the doctor on numerous occasions, received an injection for the pain, was taking pain alleviating medication generally issued to patients suffering from cancer and was sleeping approximately 4 hours per night (this was when the pain medication started to wear off). Also had an MRI carried out at Affidea followed by a consultation at the Hermitage clinic, where the consultant recommended back surgery for the following week. Was Determined to find a non-invasive treatment to help my back. Highly recommend the practice - both the physiotherapist and treatment are second to none. They worked at my pace, while gently moving forwards. The pain has all but gone, now sleeping soundly again and have recommenced training. If you have back pain - issues with discs - cannot recommend the guys and the treatment enough. Robbie, Josh, Dave - keep up the good work
Fantastic experience: So delighted with the results. Right therapy to take. The stuff is so nice and caring. Definitely recommend the DC Physiotherapy Clondalkin
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have 4 bulging discs and this therapy has definitely helped me! I went for the 10 sessions and found a great improvement, I recommend sending a picture of your mri for them to look at first! Can’t recommend the guys highly enough!
Fantastic experience: I have nothing but good things to say about DC Physio- having just completed the course of treatment. I was in severe pain and within a few sessions obtained relief and a series of preventative exercises to maintain my wellbeing. Previous treatments with other professionals did not come close to the standard of care I received. Thanks to Robbie and all at DC Physio!
Fantastic experience: 6 weeks ago I made an appointment not expecting anything from it, I had been to the doctor twice and sat in A & E for 6 hours in so much pain it was unbearable, I couldn't walk properly or for very long the pain was that bad, I had never experienced anything like it. I went for an MRI which showed up severe sciatica and 2 bulging disks in my lower back, I had my first appointment with Paddy and decided to do the spinal decompression sessions. I met Paddy for the 1st time 6 weeks ago when I went in crying in excruciating pain and to say he is the nicest, caring and patient man is an understatement. Over the past 5 weeks I have had 2 sessions per week and I am so glad I had Paddy looking after me, not only is he an amazing Physiotherapist he is also so easy to talk to and all of my appointments were filled with great conversation and laughter. The spinal decompression sessions have fully healed my back pain (which I have suffered with for many years) my sciatica has gone and hopefully will never return again if I look after it and keep up with the physio at home routines that Paddy has thought me. Paddy, thank you so much for your help and although you are saying it was the spinal decompressions that healed me you had a big part in it too making me feel so relaxed and comfortable. It was great meeting you and you will be the first person I contact if I am struggling again. Diane
Fantastic experience: Rob and cian two great physios got me back to we’re I need to be with my bulging disc..really helped me understand the injury I had and how to keep it at bay and strengthen the muscles etc…sincere and down to earth canit fault dc physio
Thanks Brian
Fantastic experience: I came here for spinal decompression and have been very happy with the results already, 8 more sessions to go. Professional team, easy to get to and plenty of parking at the weekends.
Hi Sid,
Thank you for your review.
Regards,
David
Fantastic experience: I would not believe any one stars placed against this Physiotherapy. These folk in here are amazing. Super professional and have a genuine cure. I suffered from severe herniated Disc L5S1. I was operated on and regret I made that option to this day. 2 tears later it herniated again this worse than before with no option for surgery available I was advised to go to DC physiotherapy. The first session I could not believe the instant relief of pain yet I still needed more sessions, I signed up for ten sessions and now have my life handed back to me, after 10 sessions and physical exercises myself, I paid for an MRI and to the shock of the surgeons the disc had fully healed. Surgeons would not comment on this therapy(takes there job away) but I can confirm 100% this therapy works. I wish the lads all the best and to all future customers, trust them, they will fix it.
Fantastic experience: I done spinal decompression treatment here with Robbie, he's a great fella who knows what he's doing, my back is feeling the best it's felt in years and I can't recommend these guys enough,thank you.
Thank you

Positive experience: have to be honest,wasn't to kean on it when started. wasn't sure about it. went in to DC pycio few months before was told mite need surgery and I couldn't walk. 10 session later I'm dancing out and surgery cancelled. I know it's not complete fixed and I need mainten it with all the exercises the lads gave me. But I highly recommend doing before surgery. thanks lads .
Fantastic experience: Best physio therapy treatment for Back & neck pain. Their decompression treatment can cure disc compression without a surgery. Highly recommended..

Thanks Danny
Fantastic experience: Had physio on my back and decompression on my neck , very happy with the service . The guys robbie and cian were very professional and friendly , really cared about how I was doing. This place comes highly recommended
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I've been with DC physio for the past few mths and I'm extremely impressed with their professionalism and the willing to help and listen to their patients, unlike most of the Health professions in this country ! When i went to them i couldn't drive or walk properly and was out of work due to a bulging disc (bearing in mind i work in a Hospital and couldnt even get physio there ) but the lads put me back together and im now on the road to recovery . I've also referred some of my friends ! With sincere thanks lads
Fantastic experience: Same day appointment. Enda provided a 'most likely' diagnosis which seems to have been accurate. He gave detailed advice on managing the pain and how to move around, all of which has worked out as he advised. A short laser treatment and some massage was given. Good service. I got what I paid for.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I went there late January of this year with severe lower back pain. I met with Jamie who took a detailed history, he examined my back movements (which were non-existent at the time). I started non-surgical spinal decompression, and over the next couple of weeks I noticed a huge difference, not only pain wise, but that I was standing up straight again and not holding onto the wall for support. Jamie has given me daily exercises to help improve my core strength in order to protect my back. I'd highly recommend anyone suffering with pain to contact them. I willl definitely keep their number in my contact list!! Thank you Jamie and colleagues for all your hard work. Extremely professional, caring and understanding.
Positive experience: i tryed decompression in this clinic i because heard its a good one, i did 10 seasons,eveything was amazing except i did not feel any better!my back still hearting in lower back and nothing changed at all, still same pain!! i dont know if the problem is my back or i did not get a good traitement
