Best chiropractors in Valencia: what to compare before you choose

Searching for "the best chiropractors in Valencia" brings up lists, directories and ads, but hardly any explain what to compare. Chiropractic isn't regulated in Spain, so the difference between a good practitioner and an untrained one isn't marked by an official licence: you have to check it yourself. These are the criteria we would look at, with our own details so you can compare them with any other clinic.

They examine you before adjusting you, and explain what they found.
They tell you what they can't treat and refer you to a doctor when needed.
They don't promise to cure diseases such as asthma, autism or digestive problems.
They don't X-ray everyone, only when there's a clinical reason.
They review your progress with you and change the plan if you're not improving.

Red flags

Packs of 20 or 30 sessions to be paid on day one.

Adjustments with no examination first.
Practitioners who can't tell you where they trained.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know a chiropractor is properly trained? Ask where they studied and how long the training lasted, and check they're an AEQ member.

Is it normal for the first visit to take longer? Yes. It includes your history and an examination, and usually takes about an hour.

Should I bring reports or scans? If you have related X-rays, MRI scans or reports, bring them. If you don't, there's no need to get any first.

How many reviews should a good clinic have? There's no magic number, but they should be plentiful, recent and describe real cases, not just stars.
