What is chiropractic for me ?
Chiropractic is a manual approach focused on spinal movement and function, so your body can do what it does best!
Your body has a history. I am here to listen to it.
I know what it is like to explain your whole history all over again. To be rushed through a five minute consultation and walk away with no answers. To stop trusting the signals your body sends you.
Maybe you have been told it is all in your head. Or that it is your old pillow and mattress.
I hear that one so often I cannot help but smile. Because it is rarely about the pillow. It is about your body's ability to adapt to its environment.
What is chiropractic?
Rather than give you my own version, here is the definition used by the World Health Organization.
"A health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health. There is an emphasis on manual techniques, including joint adjustment and/or manipulation, with a particular focus on subluxations."
World Health Organization, Guidelines on Chiropractic, 2005
That is the international definition. In Spain, chiropractic is not currently a regulated healthcare profession, which is why you will find a rather long legal notice at the bottom of this site.
When the spine functions well, the body is better able to adapt and regulate itself.
That is the whole principle. Everything I do comes back to it.
Pricing
For how the first two visits actually unfold, see the home page.
70 €
First visit, split in two
- Appointment 1, 30 minutes. Full history, posture study, range of motion testing and spinal assessment. This is how I decide whether chiropractic is right for you.
- Appointment 2, 30 minutes. I explain your results clearly, tell you how often I need to see you, give you personalised advice and perform your first adjustment.
The two appointments are deliberately separate, so I can analyse your results properly before making any recommendation. The price of 70 € covers both visits.
45 to 60 €
Regular visits
- 60 € per session, pay as you go
- 45 € per session with a 12 session pack, 540 €
- Payment in two instalments can be discussed
How many sessions will I need? It depends on your goals. I usually suggest weekly visits to begin with, then a monthly check. I track progress with regular reassessments, posture analysis and balance tests, and I listen to what you notice yourself. That is what shapes the plan as we go.
And if I am not the right person
Part of my job is knowing when chiropractic is not the answer. If that is the case, I will tell you plainly.
I work with a network of like minded professionals in Barcelona, physiotherapists, pelvic floor specialists, psychologists and others, and I will point you towards the right one.
