Most people wont ever think about their posture or back until they develop a problem.
As Chiropractors specialise in the spinal and structural alignment of posture in order to stay healthy and pain free. How you feel is obviously important in the short term but how your spine works is what matters long term. Postural deviation can effect disc and wearing processes longer term. This can lead to some very serious spinal conditions, that are debilitating.
We initially identify what level or change or damage has developed through the spine & back. In the clinic we utilise some of the most advanced postural scanning technology. From there we initially work on allowing the back to heal and work normally again. Once this is happening we can start developing movement and strength strategies.
Over 10years our protocols have helped thousands of people, here are just a handful of some of our happy patients & their results!

Happy Patient Results – Following Disc Issues & Treatment
Chiropractic treatment provides the most affordable, effective measures to help reduce your pain & manage your spinal health conditions.
Updated: March 2026
Transparent, affordable chiropractic care — accessible to everyone who needs it.
At Dublin City Chiropractic, we believe that quality spinal health care should be within reach for everyone. That’s why we offer competitive, clearly structured pricing with no hidden fees — so you can focus on getting better, not worrying about the bill.
“The real question isn’t what chiropractic costs — it’s what it costs you to stay in pain, miss work, or lose the quality of life you deserve.”
Ultimately the real cost is can you afford to be sick or out of work due to pain and disability, as well as the quality and enjoyment of life
Does Health Insurance Cover Chiropractic?
Yes — most health insurance policies in Ireland provide cover for chiropractic treatment. With reimbursement, your out-of-pocket cost could be minimal or even zero, depending on your policy.
You may also be able to claim a tax rebate of up to 20% on health expenses using the Med 1 form — making chiropractic care even more cost-effective over time.
We recommend checking with your insurer for the exact details of your cover.
How Does Chiropractic Compare to Other Treatments?
All major clinical research and healthcare guidelines recommend that non-invasive treatments should be explored first, before considering surgery, injections, or expensive imaging — unless there are serious neurological warning signs (known as “red flags”).
In over 10 years of clinical experience, such red flags are extremely rare. For the vast majority of patients, chiropractic is a safe, effective, and far more affordable first step.

From the moment we are born until we take our last breath…..how much time do you take to think about breathing?
Pulmonary Oxygenation in your lungs is a key component of life, health & wellbeing. This should be done normally through diaphragmatic (belly) breathing. During this blood oxygenation, digestive organ stimulation, and normal blood flow & tissue nutrition is achieved.
Chiropractic patients with chronic pain, hyperalgesia, muscular tension, sitting ergonomics, postural disturbance, thoracic & rib issues classically costochondritis have common breathing pattern disturbances which utilise the upper chest and shoulders. Negatively effecting the diaphragmatic musculature and making accessory breathing muscles work harder – adding to tension in the shoulders, upper back, neck & jaw.
Chest breathing is also a key component of our flight or flight sympathetic stress response & a hallmark of hyperarousal. Which is why as times of peak stress we can hyperventilate and a sign often associated with panic or anxiety attacks.
We take diaphragmatic breathing into account during spinal rehabilitation as it a as it helps create healthier movement patterns, to develop normal movement & strength from. Which will help the process of healing, stress and wellbeing.
Breathing Exercise One;
Lying on the ground body relaxed pelvis and low back comfortably tucked back to the floor. Place your hands below your your rib cage and above your belly button (as shown below).
Aim to breath into your abdomen/stomach area. Advancement of this is to start tilting your pelvis back and forward whilst concentrating on your smooth even full breath. Practise breathing through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
normal breathing pattern
Exercise Two;
A continuation from the above exercise is to start following a set pattern to control the diaphragm, volume and rate of breathing. Its an extremely good when anxious or stressed to reduce sympathetic stress and bring you into a more parasympathetic state. The change this can create an incredible lowering of your heart rate..
Take your time with this the aim is to be controlled and relaxed. Even starting to do this 1 or 2 times a day for a few minutes can create physiological body changes.
When mastered, this can then be done in sitting, standing or normal day to day activities
Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth!
Remember we are breathing to mobilise the rib cage and reduce physical tension throughout the body, promoting mental/emotional relaxation, deeper sleep, improved energy levels, and decreased levels of stress.
Day to Day also try and practise nasal breathing as much as possible!
