Your Chiropractor
Declan Murphy, Doctor of Chiropractic
I am originally from Ireland. I first came to Brussels in 2003 to train as an acrobat and juggler with the circus association Up, formerly known as Espace Catastrophe. In 2005 I began my Chiropractic studies at the Anglo European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth, graduating in 2009 with a Master's degree in Chiropractic.
I spent four years working in the Netherlands, in the cities of Nijmegen and Eindhoven, before returning to begin work as a chiropractor in Brussels. In 2013 I opened the first clinic in Zaventem and later another clinic at Arts-Loi. The location moved to Boulevard Charlemagne in 2020.
My varied work experience ranges from computer programming and teaching mathematics to performing in the circus and teaching children to ride unicycles. In the past, I also spent time working in several of the Irish bars in Brussels. I continue my passion for circus by practicing partner acrobatic training. I am also a keen climber, traveller and aspiring alpinist.
Other educational qualifications include a bachelor and masters' degrees in pure mathematics. I find that my varied job experience and sports interest help me identify with the work and leisure activities of many patients.
My Professional Approach
I consider my job as helping people to move better. In order to do that we need to be more mobile and experience less pain. By using chiropractic adjustments and other treatment methods, I will do my best to help your body to move in an optimal way thereby reducing pain and increasing the quality of life.
Alongside the manual treatment we need to look at occupational, recreational and other day to day factors that are affecting your movement. Sleep, posture and general habits are of vital importance to your physical well-being.
Together we can work towards attaining the lifestyle and well-being that you aspire to.
