Back Tango Dancing!
Hi my name is Joe Watkins. I initially presented to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic with a chronic history of low back pain. I had tried everything and I even had surgery on my low back. Amazingly I noticed an immediate improvement after literally the very first adjustment. These days I am able to do normal activities including walking and even dancing! Overall my health feels better. I am sleeping much more soundly and generally am much happier. I do schedule periodic adjustments to help keep my back feeling as good as it is. A few weeks ago I managed to twist my knee whilst dancing and again within a short space of time I was back on track. The treatments are not expensive and the appointments are always on time. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Even My Heartburn Has Gone!
Hi my name is Liam Cummins. I first came to the clinic on the recommendation of my G.P after a fall where I suffered chronic upper back pain. I had also suffered with arm pain for about 3 months after a lifting injury. I also suffered a lot from heartburn. Anyway I began to notice a definite improvement after the first month of treatment. These days I am largely pain free and I am feeling so much better. I have more energy, am sleeping better and just feel more alive. Work and walking my dogs is no longer a problem and even my heartburn has gone. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Back Pain Almost Forced Me To Give UP Farming!
Hi my name is David Hannon. I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic suffering with severe low back pain. I had been suffering for at least 5 or 6 years and was at the stage where I seriously thought I was going to have to give up farming. I was unable to bend, lift or even sit. In addition, it was getting progressively worse. I had seen an orthopaedic consultant who gave me exercises and I had acupuncture. Neither, had any effect. Anyway, amazingly after only 5 or 6 chiropractic adjustments I began to notice a definite improvement. These days I have recovered to at least 90%. Everybody is delighted and relieved at my improvement and I am now able to do most things without a problem. The clinic has a friendly, warm atmosphere yet it is very professional. It is great! The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Uncontrollable Crying
Hi my name is Aine Hickey and this is my daughter Orlagh who was only 6 ˝ months old when I first brought her to the Clinic. She had suffered for 6 months with Colic where she literally cried and screamed uncontrollably, every morning and every evening. We had tried other forms of therapy with no success. Nothing seemed to have an effect. As a new parent it was a very traumatic time. Fortunately a relation told us about the Clinic and recommended that we give it a try and amazingly we began to see almost immediate relief. Apart from the amazing results the staff are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Since Orlagh’s experience I have referred several family members and friends. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of our experience.
Needed To Try Something Different
Hi my name is Martin Feeney. I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic suffering with severe low back pain. Having already been to the G.P. and tried painkillers without success I knew I had to try something different. Within about 1 week of starting Chiropractic care I began to notice a real improvement. These days I am feeling much better and am able to walk, shoot and sit, all without problem. Furthermore I have noticed that I am sleeping a lot better. The staff at the Clinic are always very friendly and caring. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Not Moaning As Much!
Hi, my name is John Connolly. I first presented to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic in 2007 complaining of low back pain. I had suffered problems for at least 15 years and had tried many things from heat-packs to lying on the floor. Although improvement took longer than I had anticipated these days I am feeling so much better. I am now able to do pretty much anything that I want. What I have also noticed is that I am sleeping so much better. My friends and family have also noticed the changes, apparently I am not moaning as much!

Travelling Up & Down From Dublin Was Well Worthwhile
Hi my name is Denis Lockhart. I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic in July 2008 complaining of a chronic 35 year history of low back and knee pain. The pain had been gradually getting worse and was stopping me from playing tennis. Although I am living in Dublin I found out about the clinic from a business colleague in Fermoy. In the past I had been treated by an acupuncturist and a chiropractor who used manual manipulation with little or no success so not surprisingly I was a little sceptical at the beginning. However after about 10 weeks of care I noticed a significant improvement. These days I am back playing tennis and I am virtually pain free. I still get adjusted periodically but the hours spent driving up and down from Dublin was well worth the effort. Even my family and friends are amazed at my recovery. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
A Small Price For Good Health
Hi my name is Donal Carey. I had suffered with severe low back pain for at least 6 months before I finally came to the clinic on the advice of my good wife Ella. Amazingly I began to notice relief after the 3rd or 4th visit. These days I am much better and am now able to sit and do normal activities without suffering. I still get adjusted fairly regularly as I want to keep the spine aligned and in good shape as I get older. These days I don’t hesitate in recommending people to the clinic. The benefits of care can be amazing and in my opinion regular visits are essential to maintain alignment of the spine. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
No More Moaning
Hi my name is Helen Power. When I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic I had been suffering from intermittent low back pain and other aches and pains for about 14 years or so.

I seem to have a lot more energy and overall I feel a lot freer than I used to. Even my family and friends have noticed the change. I get adjusted every month or so when I feel out of sorts. Aside from the adjustments another thing I really appreciate is how accommodating the staff is in making or rescheduling appointments – I can literally drop in. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
A Painful Fall
Hi, my name is Michael Murphy. I injured my low back after a helpless fall on ice 12 months earlier. The pain was aggravated anytime I did any strenuous work.

The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection.
Breathing And Chest Problems
Hi my name is Paul Colbert. I initially came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic suffering from back pain and respiratory problems. I have had problems with my back and chest on and off for years. In the past I had relied on medication for my low back pain. Following the recommendation of several friends I finally decided to try chiropractic. Amazingly I began to notice an improvement almost immediately on starting chiropractic care. These days because of the physical nature of my work I do need periodic adjustments but it rarely takes much to get me back on track. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Unable To Walk
Hi my name is Geoffrey Pike. I first attended the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic in May 2006 with excruciating low back and shoulder pain. The pain was so bad that I was quite literally unable to walk. Amazingly within a few visits I began to notice a definite improvement. My shoulder condition has also improved significantly. These days I am able to drive for long periods without any discomfort. Even my family have noticed a huge change in my mobility and general well being. However in order to keep feeling so good I get adjusted every 6 weeks or so. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Unable To Play Sport Because Of Back Pain
Hi, my name is Barry O’Leary. I have suffered from almost continuous low back problems since I was 18 years old. The problem had got to the stage where I was unable to play any sport. I had tried all kinds of other therapies, with little or no success. So when I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic my expectations were not that high. However within 4 – 6 weeks of starting care I began to notice significant changes. These days I am delighted to be back playing football and training hard. Even my family and friends have noticed a change in me, I am standing a lot straighter and I am definitely more flexible. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Rally Driver Returns
Hi, my name is Pat Cahill. I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic on the recommendation of my wife Anne. I was suffering from severe low back pain and debilitating headaches. I had been examined and treated in the Mercy Hospital and had had x-rays and CAT scans all without any success. When I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic I was literally carried in such was the severity of my pain. However after only one or two adjustments I noticed significant improvement. These days I am feeling great and have even resumed rally driving. As you can expect this sport inevitably leads to knocks and bangs – including rolling a car at 120mph. However with periodic maintenance I have avoided any major setbacks. Overall I am so much healthier. Even friends and family remark on how much better I am. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Back Hill Walking
Hi my name is Peter O`Hanrahan. Before I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic I had been suffering for at least 3 years with fairly severe low back pain. The pain was aggravated by simple tasks such as bending and lifting. Although I had had manual chiropractic treatment in the past any relief I got then was very short lived. Needless to say I was some what sceptical trying another chiropractor especially because they used a very gentle and low force form of adjusting. However, although progress was slow initially I noticed significant improvement within 6 months. These days I only very occasionally notice my low back and that is usually after a heavy days work. What is great now though is that I recover so much quicker. I am able to enjoy hill walking again and as such I feel my overall health has improved. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Such Pain Relief
Hi, my name is Jerome Waters. I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic suffering with constant low back pain. I had had 2 car accidents about 20 years ago and had suffered really ever since. I had tried all kinds of treatment including another Chiropractor with little or no success. However within a couple of weeks of care at the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic I began to notice a definite improvement. These days I am overall feeling so much better. What has also amazed me is that adjusting my spine has helped other seemingly unrelated problems such as stomach problems. Consequently I get adjusted periodically to try and keep me feeling good. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Chronic Debilitating Pain
Hi my name is Fidelma Hurley. I had been suffering with neck pain on and off for almost 20 years before I came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic. The pain was at times completely debilitating and it often stopped me from doing simple tasks such as lifting and even driving. However once I started care I noticed an improvement within about 3 weeks. These days I feel great and I am finally able to lead a full and active life. Even going to the gym is now possible. However, that said I do realise that to keep me feeling this good I must have periodic adjustments to maintain my flexibility. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Pain Free Dancing
Hi, my name is Rita Cliffe. I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic on the recommendation of some of my friends. I had been suffering for years with neck and low back pain. I had tried several other therapies but with little benefit including other chiropractors. I even had an operation on my jaw to relieve the neck discomfort. Amazingly within 3 to 4 weeks of treatment with the Activator I began to feel an improvement. These days I am able to go walking, do the gardening and set dance without pain. I have so much more energy and I am pain free. I am in so much better humour. I have recommended care to lots of my friends and family. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.

Major Disc Herniation & Severe Sciatica
Hi, my name is Tina Didriksson. I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic in May 2007 literally out of desperation. I was suffering from severe low back and leg pain. I had had a CT scan and the consultant at that time had diagnosed me as suffering from 2 prolapsed discs in my lumbar spine and sciatica. I had tried physiotherapy with little or no success and surgery was very much looking likely. As a last resort I decided to try Chiropractic care and although it took at least 2-3 months of treatment before I started noticing any significant change I have improved considerably and the pain is now substantially reduced. These days I am able to walk much longer distances and am standing pretty normally. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Difficulty Feeding
Hi my name is Jake Raymond. I was only 2˝ weeks old when my parents brought me to the Chiropractic Clinic.

Excellent Care
Hi my name is Michael O’Shea. I have been coming to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic for years following a serious injury to my low back as a teenager.

What was most reassuring was being told and assured that other than nerve irritation there was nothing more serious going on!

However, naturally from time to time I do something to aggravate the back but within a couple of adjustments I am back on track. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.

Chiropractic Improved My Golf
Hi my name is Frank Murphy and I am a postman. I had suffered with continuous pain in my left knee for almost 15 years since a heavy fall. Unfortunately in the back of my mind I felt surgery was the only solution for my problem, so I was always reluctant to seek help and do something about it. However, within 2 weeks of starting chiropractic care at the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic I noticed an improvement. These days I am almost completely pain free. I am able to walk and most importantly play golf without any discomfort. In fact since I started care my golf has improved in leaps and bounds.

Chiropractic Works

What impressed me most about the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic was that I was told from the outset what goals I could realistically achieve and what exactly was wrong. No longer am I relying on painkillers to get by. Quite simply Chiropractic works. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Lifting Injury
Hi, my name is Stephen McGrath. I initially injured my low back in 1999 after a lifting injury however I have also had a couple of serious falls in the past. In the past I had received manual chiropractic treatment with quite good success, so understandably I was a little sceptical of the effectiveness of the Activator method. Especially considering how gentle it is. Initially for the first 2-3 months there was very little in the way of improvement, however eventually I began to notice a change. These days I am on the whole feeling pretty good but considering the physical nature of my work I realise that I do require ongoing maintenance treatment. Occasionally I over do it and suffer a slight relapse, however within a couple of treatments I am back on track. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Curvature Of The Spine
Hi my name is Carol O`Riordan. I injured my back lifting something in 1997 and initially tried the conventional medical route with pain killers and anti-inflammatory medication. Realising this was only a temporary measure I was encouraged by my family to attend the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic. Within a month I began to notice an improvement. These days I receive periodic adjustments but I am able to lead a full, active and pain free life. In all honesty I am a lot more active than I could have wished for especially because I have a curvature of the spine (scoliosis). I am even able to play Tag rugby! The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
No Longer Living In Pain
Hi my name is Sandra Carroll. I had suffered with low back and severe leg pain for 4 years before I attended the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic.

Literally within a month of starting chiropractic care I began to notice an improvement. These days I am no longer living in pain or indeed in fear of the pain. I am delighted that I have improved so much and that I am able to lead a more normal life. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Difficulty Swallowing & Delayed Speech
Hi my name is Niall Lyons and I am now 6 years old. I first came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic when I was 3 years old suffering from the severe side effects of swallowing caustic soda. At that stage I was up and down to Crumlin Hospital for treatment however I had constant difficulty swallowing and my speech was delayed. Amazingly within about 3 months I began to notice a real improvement, I was suddenly able to swallow and eat normally. Furthermore my speech therapist saw a dramatic and significant improvement in my speech. This was more than just coincidence. These days I get adjusted every 6 – 8 weeks and am fit and healthy. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Feeling Better Than My Years!
Hi my name is Eddie McConville. Before I came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic I had suffered for at least 12 months with bilateral knee and low back pain. Over the years I had had a couple of serious falls. I was referred to the clinic by a cousin of mine. Improvement at the beginning was initially pretty slow; in fact it took almost 8 weeks to notice any significant change. These days however I feel pain free and more supple than I have done for years. I am now able to walk freely and go up and down stairs with no problem – not bad for an 80 year old. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
I Was Very Sceptical
Hi, my name is Deirdre Fitzgerald. I was involved in a serious car accident in 2006. It caused severe low back, neck and leg pain as well as major headaches. I had tried physiotherapy and painkillers without success. Life was a real struggle. Having had manual chiropractic treatment in the past I came back to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic but in fairness I was very sceptical about the Activator method. I honestly did not believe that adjusting me with a little gadget like that could help at all. However amazingly within 2 weeks I noticed a distinct improvement. These days I am getting far fewer headaches and my low back is better than it has been for years. Life is so much easier now. My form is better and I am now able to begin living a normal lifestyle once more. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Chronic Low Back Pain
Hi, my name is Andrew Lyons. I had suffered for years with intermittent low back pain and headaches. I had tried various treatments in the past including another Chiropractor but with little or no success. Although progress was slow at the beginning I am now feeling better than I have done in years.

The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Sleeping & Feeling Much Better

I am moving with ease and what is more I am sleeping a lot better and even my posture is improved. Considering how I felt at the beginning of care I am so happy with my results. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
Low Back Surgery
Hi my name is David O`Leary. I originally injured my low back in 2004 and eventually had surgery 12 months later for a prolapsed disc. Anyway last year the pain returned and having tried all other forms of other treatment with no success, in desperation I came to the Kilworth Chiropractic Clinic. I was convinced I was faced with more surgery and at 28 years old things were looking pretty bleak. Anyway, literally within a few weeks of starting care I began to notice an improvement. These days I feel better than I have done for years. I am back training full time and playing a lot of football. Considering my history I feel so much better than I ever could have expected. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.

MIigraines After A Car Accident
Hi my name is Ruth Wheeler. I had a car accident in 2000 and had suffered since then with severe migraine headaches. The headaches were so bad that I was missing at least a couple of days each month from work. I also suffered from neck pain and stiffness. Turning my head was a real problem. I had tried all types of medication and massage with no improvement. However, within 6 weeks of starting chiropractic care I began to notice a definite improvement. These days I hardly ever get a headache and have not missed a day off work with a headache since June 2006. I have also noticed an improvement in my general health. I do not seem to catch as many colds or suffer from flu nearly as often. Gone are my days of relying on medication. The above testimonial is a true and accurate reflection of my history.
