I qualified as a Spinologist in 1984 having trained in Philadelphia in the United States. My first practice was at my home in Castledermot Co. Kildare where the Spinology sign at the entrance became a familiar landmark to passing motorists.
In 1999 I moved my practice to Carlow Town where I see most of my clients. My current office has on-site parking which clients find very convenient. In certain circumstances, I meet clients out-of-hours and at my present home in Grange Con,
Co. Wicklow.
My intention in setting up this website is to share with you some of my experiences over my 24 years of practice and some of the theories I have developed from those experiences.
I see my job as a facilitator…helping the body to help itself. In my opinion, the body has a tremendous capacity to heal itself when all of its systems are working properly. |

Most people see pain as the problem when in fact it is only a symptom of the problem. We need to rid ourselves of the cause of the pain, not just the pain itself.
Facet Joints are the joints of the vertebrae. They are located in pairs all the way up the spine where one vertebra meets the next.
A nerve root is a cluster of nerves branching out from the spinal cord & going to the body parts in that general area of the body.
Misalignment of the Facet Joints alters the environment of the nerve root and acts like a dimmer switch on a light…it interferes with the flow of nerve energy from the brain to the body parts. The brain is then unable to fully control the chemical or physical functions in that area of the body and this is when disease and dysfunction can occur.
Many disorders of the body’s functions can be caused by misalignment of the vertebrae.
Listed on my experiences page are some of the disorders that have healed after the obstruction to the nerve roots in the spinal areas has been removed.
I do not promise anyone that Spinology will cure their particular complaint, but it is my belief that if Spinology can successfully correct the misalignments of the facet joints then the body is better able to heal itself.
I also use Deep Muscle Massage and CranioSacral Therapy in my practice to achieve a faster and more sustainable correction of the misalignments. |
