Within a couple of weeks of attending the clinic there was significant improvements in my back and the pain had almost gone altogether, without the use of any pain killers.  Within a couple of months my back was feeling stronger than ever and I’m now back playing sports and living an active life.  Dr Tilley addressed the reasons why my discs were slipping worked with me to get everything back in place and to build up the muscles around my discs so I would not have to go through such painful episodes again.

I’ve recommended Dr Tilley to several of my friends and work colleagues and all have had positive results.

Not only have my migraines gone but I have now been educated about the effects of using a laptop everyday and why that can cause headaches and migraines.'

Prior to my first visit, I was taking up to six strong pain killers a day for the pain in my back. I had been down the conventional route of doctors, physios etc. for years but none of these had ever got to the root of the problem.

For the first two weeks of my treatment I attended the clinic twice a week, then once a week for a month or so. I then began to attend once a month for a year and I'm currently attending once every two months and I don't require any pain killers whatsoever.

I have recommended Niall to others and they have also been very pleased with the results.

In Feb/Mar 2009 my elbow and shoulder on my right arm was uncomfortably sore. I went to a medical doctor who diagnosed a tennis elbow and gave me a cortisone injection. The elbow was immediately better, but I knew we hadn't really found the source of the problem.  I noticed that I was using my right hand less. By April it was very sore again and I went back to my GP. I got another cortisone injection and a referal to a physiotherapist. I went twice a week for 6 weeks to the physio and I stopped all my sport. I had the full range of treatments, but no real improvement. Eventually, in June/July, 
I couldn’t justify the cost anymore and gave it up. I accepted that my right arm will be “giving problems” going forward. By October I couldn’t lie on my right side in bed and I was waking up at night because of pain. You have no idea how sore pinched nerves can be! At that stage I didn’t know what it was. I was planning to go to an Orthopaedic surgeon, but the idea of surgery put me off. 
 
My chemist recommended Dr. Niall Tilley, a chiropractor. After the first visit I slept a full night for the first time in a long time. He also sent me for X-rays (why did my GP or the physio not do that?). I had a sub-located shoulder which had an impact all the way down my arm. My neck also needed adjusting. I initially saw him 3 times per week and I had a relapse in the initial few weeks – accept that it happens. However, here I am, typing this email and as far as I’m concerned I have full use of my arm back. It is still sore and it still slips out, but we’re working on getting the muscles stronger to prevent that. I’m doing all my sport again.
 
So, not only did I get away without surgery, I also have a better result than I would have had with surgery. Go and give a chiropractor a chance, you won’t regret it.

My sister suggested trying a chiropractor.  I've been attending the Back to Health Chiropractor for a few months now and have noticed an improvement.  My headaches have greatly reduced and I have recently gone a month migraine free.  Finally, I found someone who is treating the root of my problem and not just controlling the pain!
I am quite happy with the level of care that I have received from Back to Health and I find the staff very friendly in my dealings with them.

Between 1995-1996 it came back. I had severe pain on the right hand side of my neck and  suffered from pins and needles in my right arm. These pins and needles where so severe that i couldn't lift my arm and i didn't have any feeling in my thumb or little finger. I went to a doctor for treatment and the doctor sent me to a physio which didnt help at all. After about 18 months it went. 

In 2002 i was at a Funfair and i got a jolt and it brought it all back. Again i went to the doctors and physio and it didn't help nor did taking any pain killers. 
I tried heat packs and ice packs but they didnt relieve any pain. It lasted for a year and a half. The pain went but i couldn't move my neck. My thumb and little finger stayed the same through out all of this. 

It eased for the next 5 years but never completely went. It came back sverely i 2008. I couldn't move my neck at all. I went to my doctor and she recommended a sports therapist, I attended one for 6 sessions and he massaged my neck and back. The therapist said it was down to stress and i was full of knots. The physio or massaging didnt help at all. 

My daughter recommended that i should try a Chiropractor and we found Dr Niall Tilly. I made an appointment in August 2009. I told him what had happened to me.He sent me for x-rays. The x-rays showed severe damage to my neck and to the back of my throat. I attended Dr Niall 3 times a week in the beginning. After a few sessions i noticed an improvement in my neck and with the pins and needles. After a while he changed my appointments to 2 times a week. I am improving with each visit so much that i have started to get a lot more flexibility in my neck and i also have full feeling in my thumb and little finger. I have noticed a big improvement in my back and left leg which i didnt realise was put of line until i went to Dr Niall.  I am now going to see him once every 2 weeks and feel great. It is 17 years since i have felt this good. If i would have known about Dr Niall Tilley a few years ago it would have speared me a lot of pain and a lot of money. 

I would recommend anybody with my injuries to go and see a chiropractor. 

I can't thank Dr Niall Tilley enough for all the help and care he has given me. 

A big thank you.

The pain then seemed to work its way into my forearm which I then had constantly for the past nearly 5 months now & I decided to go to my GP to have it checked out & she suggested I have a Nerve Conduction Study test done.

My GP said she would organise this which she did but a couple of weeks later I had a letter from Tallaght Hospital saying I was out of the catchment area to have the test done @ this Hospital and advised me to contact my GP to refer me to St.James’s Hospital. 
I in turn then rang my GP who couldn’t understand why my referral ended up in Tallaght Hospital in the first place so as I was looking at the probability of having to wait four to 6 months to have this test done going public I decided I couldn’t wait that long as I was in agony with the constant pain so I went down the Private route.
Firstly I paid €200 to see a Consultant who then referred me for a C Spine X-ray & an Ultra Sound Scan on my arm at a cost of another €200 which both came back clear but as thankful as I was for that I was still in constant pain.
So the next step was the Nerve Conduction Study which was at a cost of €169 & had I known what I was going to be subjected to I would never had gone for this test the electric shocks I experienced in my arm were so intense not to mention uncomfortable.
When I passed this remark to the Doctor conducting the test she replied back to me ok I won’t go any higher than 10!!
Then after the electric shocks were finished & I thought it couldn’t get any worse the Doctor then took this needle and proceeded to stick it in the muscles in my arm & several other areas on my arm as I’m Insulin Dependant Diabetic & inject myself twice a day I don’t have a problem with needles but when the Doctor stuck the needle in the Thenar Space the webbing part of the skin between the Thumb & Index finger at this stage I had a nausea feeling & thought I was going to pass out!
I managed somehow to not to pass out & at the end of this horrible test the Doctor calmly told me she couldn’t find any trapped nerves in my arm to which I replied where does that leave me as I’m in constant pain to which she replied the next step is most likely an MRI.
I left the hospital on the Friday afternoon in agony & totally deflated that I’ve spent all this money and I’m still in constant pain & no one seemed to have any answers as to what was wrong with me or more importantly how the problem could me fixed.
The following day which was Saturday I couldn’t move my neck somehow I think the Nerve Conduction Study was to blame for this & the pain in my arm also seemed to have worsened .
By the Tuesday of the following week I could no longer stick the pain so my sister suggested I go see a Chiropractor Niall Tilley @ Back to Health she contacted Niall who I then spoke with & he kindly agreed to fit me in for an appointment the very next day.
My sister had an accident in 2010 & was X-rayed in Hospital & discharged the next day & told to rest for 48hrs again she was in constant pain and after 7 weeks of agony my cousin recommended she go see Dr. Niall Tilley @ Back To Health.
And the minute Dr. Niall saw my sister walk in & on examination he knew something wasn’t right so he referred her for an X-ray which showed her pelvis was fractured in 3 places and that went undiagnosed in a Hospital for 7 weeks.
Anyway back to my story I went for my appointment with Dr. Niall and at last I found someone was prepared to listen to me and give some answers as to the pain I was experiencing in my arm.
Dr.Niall looked at my X-rays I’d had done @ the Hospital and as soon he looked at them he informed me the problem in my arm was arising form my neck to which the hospital said my X-rays were clear!
So Dr.Niall started to work on me and the very next day there was a remarkable improvement in my neck he did advise me however if I was feeling any pain to use cold instead of heat which I found great as normally I would have used heat which in turn was only aggravating the pain.
I’m still attending Back To Health at the moment & I’m delighted to say my arm is starting to show improvement I just wish I had gone  down this route in the beginning instead of going to Hospital to be subjected to unnecessary & painful tests not to mention the expense!
I would highly recommend anyone experiencing pain like mine to go to Back To Health & see Dr. Niall Tilley before heading down the long & stressful Hospital route.
