Frequently Asked Questions About Physiotherapy in Charleville

No referral is required — you can book directly with Don Kelly Physiotherapy & Acupuncture. We welcome all patients without needing a GP’s approval.

Your first session includes a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history, followed by an assessment of your movement, strength, flexibility and pain triggers. Don will explain the findings and recommend a personalised treatment plan.

We provide a holistic range of therapies, including Physiotherapy, Dry Needling & Acupuncture, Cupping Therapy, and Custom Orthotics — all within one clinic to meet your needs.

 Most sessions last 45–60 minutes, and treatment plans vary depending on your condition and progress. Some improve in a few visits, while others require ongoing rehab.

Treatments aim to reduce pain; however, you may feel some temporary discomfort — especially when mobilizing stiff muscles or joints. Let us know if it becomes too intense, and we’ll adjust accordingly.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes — e.g. shorts for lower limb issues or a tank top for shoulder pain. Bring any relevant medical history or imaging, and you’ll be guided through an intake form if needed.

Don treats both recent injuries and long-term conditions, including sports injuries, persistent musculoskeletal pain, post-surgical rehabilitation, and nerve or soft-tissue problems. Treatment recommendations depend on the assessment and each patient’s individual needs.

Treatment may combine hands-on care, tailored exercises, movement or posture advice and practical self-management strategies. Results and recovery times vary depending on the condition and the individual.

Yes. Our clinics are open Monday to Saturday, from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, making it convenient for patients to attend before or after work. Evening appointments are available by booking in advance.

The clinic is located at Unit 2 Tahilla House, Balls Lane, Charleville, Co. Cork, P56 NW81. Free parking is available nearby, and Charleville bus and train stations are only a few minutes away.

I spent a fortune over 10 years and even had appointments re only step I had left to consider, surgery..... after suffering awful with chronic tennis elbow. I decided to try one last physio as I had been interested in Don for a while, but reluctant. He was brilliant, 95% improvement in my therapy. I would strongly recommend Don for this ailment .

There was a post on FB for free consultation. I contacted Don and he is everything he says he is. He was really helpful. Gave me much appreciated advice. Wish he was nearer i would so love to be in his care. Such a genuine person. I do hope i can get to him for a complete overall. I trust this man and his advice. He deserves more than a 5 star.

Cannot recommend Dom enough. I injured my trap in the gym and couldn't straighen my neck, was in bits, very uncomfortable. Rang him and he was able to squeeze me in within a few hours. While he was treating my shoulder I mentioned an ongoing issue with my elbow and he said we may aswell sort that too. Immediate relief on both when finished. An absolute gentleman to deal with. Recommend 100%.

I have had serious pain in my legs for over 6 years, I have had bone density scans, blood tests, specialists and even put on hrt, all to no avail, gave up on finding out what was wrong until I went to Don, found him by accident, but what a find. 6 weeks in and the results are amazing, diagnosed me in the first 5 minutes of the consultation and the pain is decreasing every week. I would highly recommend Don, 5 stars isn't enough!!

Don provided excellent service, knowledge and, most importantly, treatment for a lingering neck and shoulder issue. It was my first time having dry needling method with physio and it sorted my pain very quickly. Don gave great follow up advice and I am very happy to recommend him.

Visited Don with chronic back pain and sciatica that hadn't abated in 12 months. After three visits I've not had back pain and touch wood sciatica free as well. Highly recommended.
