Family chiropractic care in Barcelona
Why families come to see me
Bodies change fast in a family. A newborn adapting to the world. A child growing several centimetres in a year. A teenager carrying a backpack and a phone. A parent carrying everyone else.
Each stage puts different demands on the spine and nervous system. My work is to look at how each body is coping with its own stage, with care adapted to its size and age.
Care at every stage
Little ones
Babies go through enormous change in a very short time. Gentle, age appropriate care may support nervous system function during this period. I use light, specific techniques and explain each step as I go.
Growing bodies
Backpacks, screens, sport and growth spurts. Care may support spinal function and mobility during years of rapid change. Sessions are relaxed and adapted to your child.
Teens
Growth often outpaces muscle coordination, and long hours sitting do the rest. I assess how the spine is moving, and what may be worth keeping an eye on.

Expecting
Your body changes every week. Posture, balance and comfort evolve constantly. Care may support your body's adaptation through all three trimesters, with a pregnancy pillow so you can lie comfortably at any stage.

What a first visit looks like
We talk first
Birth, sleep, feeding, milestones, activities. The full picture before anything else.
Then I assess
Spinal movement, posture, and where relevant primitive reflexes. Gentle, quick, and it does not hurt.
Then we decide together
I explain what I found and what I suggest. If chiropractic is not the right fit, I refer you on.

Does my child need a problem to come?
No. Many families come for prevention, simply to check how the spine is moving during growth. You do not need to wait for something to go wrong.
Is it safe for a baby?
Techniques used with infants are extremely gentle, closer to a light sustained contact than to anything you may have seen on adults. I take a full history first.
Does it hurt?
No. Most children find the assessment curious rather than uncomfortable, and many treat it as a game.
At what age can my child be seen?
Any age, including newborns. The approach is adapted to what the child can do.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly. Bring any recent imaging or reports if you have them.
Which languages do you work in?
French, English and Spanish.
