FAQ

Yes, from the first day you can have your spine adjusted, depending on whether the chiropractor recommends it as appropriate.

Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve pain by restoring the correct alignment of the spine and enhancing the function of the nervous system. If there’s a subluxation or misalignment in the spine, it can affect the function of the nerves traveling through it, causing pain and other symptoms. The chiropractic adjustment aims to correct these subluxations to improve your health and well-being.

Yes, chiropractic care is considered a safe form of treatment. Chiropractors are highly trained and use precise techniques tailored to the individual needs of the patient. A chiropractor treats a baby, someone with cancer, someone over 80 years old, or someone with a prosthesis differently. It’s important to communicate to the chiropractor about any prior health condition or specific concern you may have to ensure personalized and safe care.

Yes, chiropractic care can be beneficial for pregnant women. Many pregnant women experience changes in posture and pain associated with weight gain and hormonal changes. A specialized chiropractor can gently adjust the spine and provide pain relief, as well as improve overall comfort during pregnancy.

During a chiropractic treatment session, the chiropractor will locate the subluxations and perform the appropriate adjustment, which might involve quick and controlled movements on the affected joint or spine. The process is painless, and many patients experience a sense of release and relaxation after the adjustment. The idea is to correct and stabilize the body so it functions properly.

A vertebral subluxation is a misalignment or abnormal movement of a vertebra in the spine. This can cause interference in the nervous system, affecting communication between the brain and the body. Chiropractors work to correct these subluxations through chiropractic adjustments to enhance overall health and well-being.

Chiropractors have completed a specialized university educational program in chiropractic that lasts 5 years. This program includes learning health sciences, anatomy, embryology, neurology, radiology, magnetic resonance imaging, pathophysiology, biomechanics, diagnosis, and chiropractic techniques, among others. After finishing their studies, they must pass a national exam (OSCE) to obtain a license to practice chiropractic. They complete their studies with a total of 360 ECTS. Our chiropractor is a member of the Spanish Chiropractic Association (AEQ).

The cost of a chiropractic visit can vary depending on the type of treatment required. We offer different plans with discounts on adjustments. Ask here (WhatsApp).

What is the difference between chiropractic and physiotherapy? While physiotherapy emphasizes physical rehabilitation and therapeutic physical activity, chiropractic focuses on the proper functioning of the spine to improve the function of the nervous system. The chiropractor may, when necessary, refer the patient to a physiotherapist.

Yes, chiropractic can be beneficial for older people. As we age, it’s common to experience problems related to the spine, joints, and mobility. Chiropractic can help improve function and reduce pain in these areas, thus enhancing overall quality of life.

There is no established minimum age for receiving chiropractic treatment. Chiropractors can treat people of all ages, from infants to older adults. For infants and young children, gentle and developmentally appropriate techniques are used.

For your first visit, it is advisable to bring your medical history, x-rays, magnetic resonance images (report and images) or reports from other relevant tests, and any other document related to your health condition. It’s also helpful to wear comfortable and flexible clothing, as you will need to change clothes for the physical examination.

Chiropractic is not painful. During a chiropractic adjustment, you might feel slight pressure or a stretching sensation in the treated area, but individuals typically do not experience pain. Chiropractors use gentle and precise techniques to ensure the patient’s comfort and safety.

The “crack” sound that can be heard during a chiropractic adjustment is known as “joint cavitation”. It’s not the sound of your bones breaking, as sometimes believed, but rather a release of gases that are present in the joints, such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen. This phenomenon is similar to the noise heard when opening a bottle of champagne.

It is not recommended because it gives too much mobility to areas that shouldn’t move more. The chiropractor will only ‘crack’ the necessary areas. If you do it because you feel relief, this comes from a release of endorphins, but you could enter a vicious cycle. If you have any questions, contact us, and we will explain it to you in detail.
