About Us

Dr Danielle Hurley 

MSc, DC, MCAI

Originally from Kilkenny, Dani has always been interested in Chiropractic due to her involvement in Camogie and Hockey whilst in school. After suffering from knee and back injuries through sport she wanted to learn more about why the injuries occurred and how to try fix them. Two years doing Applied Physiology and Health and Science at IT Carlow Dr Dani then went on to study her Masters in Chiropractic in Wales. After spending 4 amazing years in Wales it was time to return home and from here Absolute Chiropractic was born!

She is a proud member of the Chiropractic of Ireland and has done additional training in Dry Needling and KinesioTaping techniques. Dani utilises her skills in deep muscle work along with Chiropractic and believes in not only treating and relieving pain but preventing long-term recurrence through specific exercise prescription and rehabilitation, thereby promoting a healthy and active lifestyle and an improved quality of life.

Dani lives in Midleton with her husband Cillian and two children Rhys and Chloe.

Dr Diana Petersen

MTech, DC, MCAI

Dr Diana was born and raised in Johannesburg, in sunny South Africa by her loving Portuguese parents. She initially began her career as a clinical diagnostic radiographer, and furthered her studies in Chiropractic at the University of Johannesburg, graduating with a Master’s degree in 2012.

 

Dr Diana started her working career as a theatre radiographer for busy orthopaedic surgeons who specializes in spinal procedures. Here, she got to observe and be involved in many different spinal procedures. She was part of a team who were the first in South Africa to perform minimally-invasive endoscopic spinal decompressions. She was then given an amazing opportunity to open her first practice as a chiropractor, alongside one of the assistant surgeons. She was also invited to teach chiropractic students how to perform x-ray images at her University. Dr Diana later bought over an existing neurologically-based practice in 2015.

 

 

 

 

Dr Diana successfully sold her practices when she was pregnant with her twin baby girls, Ava and Leila, in 2018. In search of a bigger and brighter future for her twins, Ireland was the perfect choice to raise her new little family with her husband, Andrew. They moved continents and she is delighted to team up with Dr Danielle Hurley to serve all communities of Cork.

Dr Diana has taken special interest in educating patients about the importance of improving and restoring neurological and biomechanical function of one’s spine and health. Dr Diana implements many techniques in her regime which includes spinal adjustments and mobilizations, activator adjusting tool, traction, soft tissue release, stretching and strengthening, kinesio-taping, and dry needling of trigger points, with appropriate advice on home care programs.

It was a great accomplishment to win the poster award for Africa for her co-authored research at the World Federation Chiropractic & IBCE Regional 2019, in Berlin. Her research was recently published in the medical Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics.

Dr Diana loves the outdoors, whether it be the beach, the countryside or the African bush. She is a keen fly fisherman, although an absolute amateur. She enjoys exploring new places, meeting new people and eating good, healthy comfort food! She may have left her heart behind in Africa, however chiropractic is her passion, and so she is looking forward to meeting you and reaching as many patients as she can in our community!
