Douglas Chiropractic & Physiotherapy Clinic, Cork

A brilliant service. Nichola gives in-depth feedback and explains the route she best thinks suits you to help fix your issues. I was extremely happy with the service and would 100% recommend.

Very rude

I saw Aidan the athletic therapist in Douglas for my shoulder about a month ago. Professional, knowledgeable and really friendly. Shoulder is much improved, painfree at last!

A very unique business that specialises in cash grabbing. You are paying €65 for a 15min conversation and photographs to be taken. You do not get any adjustment during your consultation. The adjustment will cost you another €70 at a later date. Also wanted to see me twice a week for 90 days starting off. Only in rip off Ireland will you ever come across a cash grab like this. All joking aside I do feel people are being taken advantage regularly at this business... (Show more)

I am being looked after by Dr Dafne Jiménez Pérez, she is a pleasure to deal with and very professional. I am nearing the end of my 3 months of twice weekly adjustments and I have noticed huge changes. I had spend years and lots of money on physiotherapy for QL and lower back issues that were really beginning to affect my entire daily life. I noticed a huge improvements and change even after the first adjustment. I was no longer foam rolling multiple time each day just to get by. I am absolutely delighted with the work Dr Dafne has done so far and I would highly recommend her and Douglas chiropractic and Physiotherapy to anyone.... (Show more)

I went to Douglas chiropractic with crippling pain in my neck. My initial consultation was with Nicola, whom was kind, caring and reassuring. Dr Dafne has been treated me and has been amazing. She has resolved my neck issue and fixed my others too. My two year old son has been seeing Dafne twice a week and she is absolutely amazing with him. He loves going to see her and it has been majorly beneficial for him. Both my son and I fully trust our chiropractor, she is amazing. The whole practice is fantastic and accommodating. Both receptionists are extremely kind and helpful. I attended a talk that the Dafne provided in the practice and it was so informative and the benefits of seeing a chiropractor were phenomenal. 10/10 practice.... (Show more)

I booked an appointment at this clinic as I had a terrible neck pain and light-headedness for 2 weeks. At the consultation the chiropractor did lots of test that seemed to aggravate the problem. Such as asking me to stand with my feet on a line with my eyes closed, walking on a line, turning the light switch on and off very quickly to see if I had any reaction, sitting with my eyes closed and gently shaking my head with a pulse oximeter on my finger, moving my head from side to side as much as I could. This made the neck pain worse and I went from light-headed to dizzy. The chiropractor was able to conclude that the second vertebrae in my neck was out of place the problem originated from lower down in my back between my shoulder blades. I was then sent home without any treatment and asked to come back the next day for another consultation. I completely understand that the chiropractor needs to do an assessment to find out what the problem is and how to treat it. However, sending home a patient with acute pain without any intervention is extremely poor patient treatment! This routine may be suitable if you have a patient who would like a long-term plan to strengthen back maybe. But for someone in acute pain you need to do something to help them and not aggravate the problem and send them home! 3 hours later when I was home I vomited as I was so dizzy and unwell. I called back to the clinic and complained and I was told I couldn’t expect treatment as it said ‘consultation’ on my booking and if I came back the next day I would receive a treatment plan and MAYBE I would receive treatment. When you go to e.g. a dentist or a physiotherapist it always say ‘consultation’ on the booking but you still receive treatment. That’s what healthcare providers do in their ‘consultations’, they provide treatment. I never went back to this clinic. Instead I called and went for an appointment at Riverside chiropractor clinic the next day. The chiropractor at this clinic also made a thorough assessment, came to the same conclusion as the chiropractor at Douglas chiropractic and physiotherapy clinic but the chiropractor at Riverside PROVIDED TREATMENT during the first consultation and I already felt much better in the evening. Going regularly to Riverside chiropractor clinic now. Advice to everyone: steer clear of Douglas chiropractic and physiotherapy clinic!... (Show more)

They cheat people to make money. I went to the clinic on the first day because I was in a lot of pain and I paid for the consultation. Just a few questions were asked and I was sent home asking to come back the next day. Upon returning, they introduced me to a program that would be specific to my case. It was only then that I was really helped with the adjustments. When I left, they charged me another consultation with an even greater amount than the first. I was embarrassed by the situation and paid for it, but I felt shortchanged as a customer. The clinic's priority is to earn money and not to care. Note: On my payment receipt it says that I was attended by a professional, but I was attended by another. Disappointment!... (Show more)

Went in sceptical about the service. The staff take over and explain in detail the process and plan with you what's expected and help you at every stage. Very friendly environment and personable staff. Highly recommend it to anyone. Wish I had done it year's before.

I have been attending Chiropractor Dr Mark for the last two months and my neck pain has reduced considerably which he assured me would be the case

Having spent the best part of 2 years trying to root cause muscular shoulder pain with other practitioners, I have been visiting physio Alex (Alessandro Diaferia) for about a month now and it’s been transformational. Alex did a careful and thorough assessment, developed a structured plan to address the issues and uses different treatment approaches (soft tissue, deep tissue and targeted needling). It has made a hugely positive impact on me and my ability to engage in sport. I would thoroughly recommend... (Show more)

I have just finished 3 months treatment with Mark. I highly recommend him. He always had plenty of time to explain things and answer any questions I had. Very professional and very happy with my treatment. The staff in reception were always so welcoming and helpful. Excellent clinic, very efficient with a personalised service. Thank you....

I can’t praise them enough! I’m still only 4 weeks into a 3 month long treatment but I’m already feeling the difference! Everyone is extremely professional and I love how they always explain what’s going on and what they’re doing.

I have struggled with back and shoulder pain for the best part of 5 years now. Alex (Alessandro Diaferia) has helped me immensely so far in just a short amount of time. The difference I feel already is amazing. I cannot recommend him enough as well as the rest of the staff. Thank you so much for all of your help!... (Show more)
