About Us
​
Struggling with Longstanding Lower Back Pain? You’re Not Alone — and You’re Not Broken.
​
At The Back Specialists, we help people who are tired of living with persistent low back pain. Our goal is simple: to help you move better, feel better, and live free from painkillers and repeat doctor visits.
Lower back pain is frustrating. It’s often caused by an old injury, poor posture, movement habits, or long-term compensation patterns. Many people hope it will just go away — but that rarely happens. The longer back pain lingers, the more the body adapts and compensates. Over time, these patterns become harder to reverse.
Painkillers might mask symptoms temporarily, but they don’t address the root cause.
Rest might feel good short term, but too much rest can lead to more stiffness, tightness, and frustration. You may have tried physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, or home exercises from YouTube… only to find the pain returning — or getting worse.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. It's time to seek help from a top back pain specialist sin Dublin.
We often hear from people who:
-
Thought the pain would eventually go away, but it didn’t.
-
Were told to “just rest and take painkillers” — with no long-term plan.
-
Tried exercises that didn’t work or made things worse.
-
Lost confidence in their body after months (or years) of back pain.
-
Were told it’s just “part of getting older.”
-
Tried multiple treatments but never got a clear answer.
​
What Makes Us Different?
At The Back Specialists, we don’t chase symptoms.
We use advanced movement assessments to understand why your pain keeps coming back — and what your body needs to change. We create personalised plans based on how you move, how your body compensates, and what’s keeping you stuck.
No cookie-cutter exercises. No quick fixes.
Just clear, expert guidance — rooted in real science — to help you build confidence in your body again.

“Excellent. I was suffering lower back pain for the last 3 years using different services with no big improvements. After 3 months with John I can say that the results are very satisfying. His knowledge and professionalism helped me to understand the root of the pain, and together with great exercises he put me back to shape. It was a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone who suffers from back pain.”
