Chiropractic

During the first years of life, the neurological system of babies and children plays a crucial role in their health and correct development and growth All the functions of your body are carried out thanks to the fact that the brain sends the stimulus to the body and responds. The vertebral column is mainly responsible for protecting this nervous system and at these ages it is subjected to many blows, falls, weight (backpack ), etc. That’s why we have to take care of it, regardless of age.

In chiropractic we talk that the first subluxation can happen in the womb, due to the fetal positioning of the baby, followed by the birth process , even if it is natural and respectful. Many times the effects of these initial subluxations are noticeable, such as the onset of colic, irritability, sleep problems, etc. But other times they can be silent and not manifest until adulthood.

That’s why your daughter doesn’t need to be in pain or have noticeable health problems to visit a chiropractor. Indeed, a review of the spine and nervous system, The sooner the better! as babies and children are very more flexible and mouldable.

Chiropractors receive a minimum 5-year training at specialized universities to guarantee quality and safety. Throughout the course, we take subjects common to all health professions (anatomy, physiology, pathology,…) and delve into others more specific to the profession such as chiropractic techniques, radiology, neurology, etc.

Due to the current legal vacuum regarding Chiropractic in Spain (no approval) we can find people who do “manipulations on the spine” without having the necessary training to know how to do it correctly. That is why, in order to find a properly qualified professional, we recommend you consult the website of the Spanish Chiropractic Association.

Totally. There is no incompatibility with other treatments whether medical, physiotherapeutic, etc. They are completely complementary procedures. In fact, by having both courses, in the same session we can combine chiropractic adjustments with physiotherapeutic treatment. Just be sure to let us know which ones you’re following.

Physiotherapy is known to almost everyone. There are many branches (respi, cardio, neuro) but undoubtedly the most widespread is trauma. In this “specialty” physiotherapists focus mainly on rehabilitating the area where an injury has been suffered. Manual therapy (stretching, traction, massage therapy, etc.) is usually used, as well as therapeutic exercise and external agents such as ultrasound, TENS (electrodes), thermotherapy, etc.
However, Chiropractic is responsible for freeing the nervous system from the interferences that may be present in the message that passes between brain and body, especially at the level of the spine. We do this through chiropractic adjustments, where we use our hands almost exclusively. In this way we focus more on a salutogenic model and not so much on a pathogenic model.

Currently in our center it is NOT possible to carry out exclusively physiotherapeutic treatment. In fact, we prefer to treat mainly with chiropractic and add, if necessary, some physical therapy techniques.
