Bob can help with a wide range of problems and symptoms. If you would like to have a consultation with Bob about your ailment or injury, you can contact him here.
Many of Bob’s patients are experiencing throbbing head pain, pains behind their eyes or at the tops or sides of their heads. These symptoms can be caused by vertebrae being out of alignment and putting pressure on a peripheral nerve.
Bob treats these patients with a gentle adjustment of the vertebrae, which takes the pressure off the nerve causing the pain.
Bob often treats patients who are experiencing pain or stiffness in their necks, muscle spasms, or loss of mobility. This is often caused when their vertebrae are misaligned.
A gentle chiropractic adjustment will bring relief to these symptoms.
Bob frequently helps patients who are suffering from pain, aches, stiffness, or muscle spasms in their backs. These symptoms can be brought on when vertebrae are misaligned - often in the thoracic, neck, or lumbar areas. The problem could also be based on a repetitive strain on the back, often from work or heavy lifting. Blunt force trauma can also be the source of the problem, such as work related accidents or a car crash.
A simple chiropractic adjustment can realign the vertebrae and provide relief from the pain.
Where a patient has a protruding or herniated disc, quite often a chiropractor may try to forcefully return the disc back into alignment.
Bob’s gentle, low impact technique adjusts a different area of spine, such as the neck, instead. This has the effect of moving the protruding vertebrae in the lumbar area back into normal alignment on its own, without the need for forceful treatment.
A degenerated disc can be a long running condition, leaving the patient feeling stiff or in pain.
The treatment for a degenerated disc can include a course of multiple adjustments and a home program of exercises to build up and recondition the muscles. This helps restore the natural curve of the spine in the cervical and lumbar areas, and alleviates the condition.
Most arm pain such as golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, baseball elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, are usually caused by misalignment of the cervical vertebrae. The misalignment of vertebrae in the neck can trap nerves that run down the shoulder through the arms and fingers. This then creates the symptoms and pain that the patient is feeling.
Treatment includes adjustment of the misalignment of the vertebrae, which restores the natural curve of the cervical area of the spine. This releases trapped nerves and cures the patient of the pain.
Fibromyalgia first appeared as a diagnosis in 1984. It can often be used to describe a cluster of complex symptoms. It’s generally more prevalent in women than men. There can be cases where a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia is in actuality the damage being caused by multiple vertebrae being out of alignment, known as a multiple subluxation complex. This can be very painful for the patient, as the misaligned vertebrae can trap nerves, causing aches, pains, and other knock on effects across the body.
Dealing with these symptoms include chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy necessary to restore the natural alignment of the patient’s spine. This releases any trapped nerves and resolves the symptoms.
Sciatica and much of the leg pain that Bob treats are caused by an entrapment of nerves by the lower lumbar vertebrae. The nerves that exit the sides of these vertebrae travel down into the hips and the sacrum. These spinal nerves that reach the sacrum are called the cauda equina, latin for ‘horsetail feathers’. They send and receive messages to and from your legs, feet, and pelvic organs. The cauda equina are tied into the sciatic nerve, which is the largest nerve in the body. Some women will say that sciatic pain is worse than childbirth.
The treatment for sciatica is to correct the nerve pressure in the lower part of the back by proper adjustments in the cervical and lumbar areas of the spine, and the pelvis.
People often come to Bob for arthritic pain of the spine. This may be caused by a degenerated disc, or by anterior or posterior osteophytes (bone spurs), which lead to overall degeneration and arthritis of the spine. It usually takes many years for this arthritis to develop, and can be exacerbated by the patient’s diet.
Treatment involves realignment of the spine and sometimes a change in diet and exercise regime.
Chiropractic treatment can provide relief in the case of many common sports injuries sustained in GAA, rugby, football, golf, baseball, hurling, tennis, badminton, and more.

A big thanks to Bob. I couldn’t move 5 days ago. His vast experience and methods have me moving almost pain free after three sessions. Thanks a million and can’t recommend you enough.
I’ve been putting this off for far too long. I genuinely can’t believe how good I feel after just one visit. I can’t recommend Bob highly enough.
Bob is amazing! Couldn’t recommend him enough. My fiance suffers with extreme lower back and leg pains...after only one visit his pain reduced significantly. Even on His day off (Sunday) he still agreed to see him and help him!
There's none of that horrible crunching going on as Bob has a specialised chiropractic table. I was a different person walking out. if you've any back, neck issues just go, I can't recommend Bob enough.
I have suffered with several herniated/bulging discs for 9 years, leaving me in severe pain on a daily basis and prescription after prescription from GPs and hospitals! I left feeling a lot looser with immediate pain relief from the session. I now have faith that with continuous sessions with Dr. Bob I will see positive long term results.
I have been experiencing lower back pain for most of my adult life and I have tried everything to prevent it. After my first appointment I feel much lighter and much better. I would recommend Bob to anyone with back or spine issues.
I went to Bob after being diagnosed with a bulging disc. I had lower back pain for about 2 years on and off, after just one visit I now feel great and my back is getting stronger every day. I will be returning for more rehabilitation but I would recommend Bob to anyone suffering from disc problems, I just wish I found him sooner
I finally went to Dr. Bob after suffering with low back pain for months. My hips were slightly out after having a baby. Anti inflammatories and sports massage didn't seem to get rid of the pain entirely. After my first visit with Bob I left feeling better and for weeks now I am completely pain free. I took his advice on board and did everything he told me and can't believe how good I feel.
