Taking care of your back since 1998
Chiropractor Dublin 20
(Chapelizod, Palmerstown)
Chiropractic First Dublin provides assessment-led chiropractic care for people living or working in Dublin 20. Patients from Chapelizod and Palmerstown attend our clinic at 8 Blessington Street, Dublin 7, for assessment of back pain, neck pain, joint stiffness, movement-related symptoms and headaches that may be linked to the neck. Depending on the assessment findings, care may include back adjustments or other manual techniques, movement advice and exercises.
The first step is to understand your symptoms, medical history and goals. We explain what the findings suggest, discuss whether chiropractic care appears suitable and outline the available options. Treatment is not automatic and begins only after you have had the opportunity to ask questions and give informed consent.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR PEOPLE FROM CHAPELIZOD AND PALMERSTOWN
Chiropractic treatment focuses on musculoskeletal symptoms involving the spine, joints, muscles, and related nerves. It is not a one-size-fits-all service. Care begins with an assessment of your symptoms, health history, movement and daily activities.
If chiropractic care appears appropriate, your plan may combine hands-on techniques, exercise, movement strategies and practical advice. The approach depends on the assessment findings, your clinical needs and your comfort level.
The aim is to support movement and help you manage your symptoms. Likely benefits, limitations and timeframes are discussed individually, as outcomes differ from person to person.

What to expect at your first chiropractic visit in Dublin 20
Patients travelling from Chapelizod or Palmerstown can expect a structured first appointment. Its purpose is to understand your symptoms, identify relevant clinical findings, and decide whether chiropractic care may be appropriate.
Consultation and case history
Your chiropractor will discuss:
- your main symptoms
- how and when they started
- what makes them better or worse
- previous injuries and relevant medical history
- work demands, exercise and daily activities
- your goals and concerns
This information helps build a clinical picture and identify warning signs that may require medical referral.
Physical assessment
Depending on your symptoms, the physical assessment may include:
- observation of posture and movement
- palpation of relevant joints and muscles
- spinal or joint range-of-motion testing
- movements that reproduce or ease your symptoms
Additional testing when indicated
Where clinically appropriate, the chiropractor may also assess:
- reflexes
- muscle strength
- sensation
- relevant orthopaedic or neurological findings
Not every test is required for every patient.
Working assessment, options and consent
After the assessment, we explain:
- what the findings suggest
- whether chiropractic care appears suitable
- the available treatment options and alternatives
- likely benefits and limitations
- possible risks or side effects
- realistic expectations for care
Treatment may begin during the first appointment or at a later visit, depending on the findings. Nothing proceeds without your informed consent.
If the assessment identifies red flags or suggests that chiropractic care may not be appropriate, you may be advised to consult your GP or another relevant healthcare professional.
