The most common questions about chiropractic and its practice

I am a graduate of the Barcelona College of Chiropractic in 2021 after completing a 6-year career. I started my first two years of studying at IFEC in France and then decided to move to Spain. During my training, I also had the opportunity to work as a technique teacher and clinical supervisor at the Barcelona College of Chiropractic. After obtaining my diploma, I worked in a chiropractic practice in Barcelona, where I was able to apply my knowledge and skills in chiropractic care. In addition, I have attended numerous chiropractic seminars and courses both during my studies and after graduating, combining techniques such as SOT (Sacro Occipital Technique), Applied Kinesiology, Gonstead, TBM (Total Body Modification), the Toggle Recoil-Hole in One technique, and the Webster technique, adapting them to each patient's individual needs.

Our bodies constantly face three main types of stress: physical (accidents, blows, falls, poor posture, childbirth, elite sports), chemical (processed foods, environmental pollution, beauty and cleaning products), and emotional (relationships, financial worries, work, family). Chiropractic care can help the body adapt to and recover from these types of stress by improving nervous system function and promoting overall balance and health.

Chiropractic is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a health profession worldwide. In Spain, chiropractic is experiencing gradual growth with the support of the Spanish Chiropractic Association (AEQ), the only body that certifies chiropractic diplomas and regulates the profession in the country.

Chiropractic is a health profession focused on promoting the proper functioning of the nervous system and the body as a whole. Chiropractic maintenance is recommended to maintain and improve your current health, and to prevent relapses and stressors that could affect the nervous system.

Pain is an alarm signal the body sends when something isn't working properly, but our bodies can experience dysfunction for years without us noticing. Preventive chiropractic care lets us address imbalances in the body before they show up as pain or obvious symptoms, promoting optimal body function and improving overall quality of life.

Becoming a chiropractor requires a university degree in Chiropractic and a Doctorate in Chiropractic, following a program lasting between 5 and 7 years recognized by the European Council on Chiropractic Education (ECCE). The last two years are dedicated to supervised clinical practice, treating patients of various ages and profiles.

Chiropractic adjustments

The most common questions about chiropractic adjustments

The 'crack' sound is not the result of bones breaking, but of cavitation: the synovial fluid in the joints releases gases (nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide) when put under pressure. This sound doesn't necessarily mean the adjustment was successful — it's simply a natural consequence of the process.

No. Most people experience relaxation and reduced tension after adjustments. They use high-velocity, low-amplitude impulses that restore balance to the spine without causing unnecessary pain.

You might feel immediate relief from body tension, notice no immediate change (which is normal, since results can take time to show), or experience temporary fatigue and discomfort during the first 24 hours — a sign that your body is adjusting.

Yes. We have specialized training in pediatrics and certification in the Webster technique for pregnant patients. Every adjustment technique is extremely gentle and adapted to the spine based on each patient's age and needs.

It varies from person to person: some symptoms improve after just a few sessions, while more chronic conditions take longer. We run regular reviews to monitor your progress and adjust the care plan as needed.
