It is likely that if until now you have never heard of chiropractic; you may have some questions about it.
The Momentum Quiropràctic team will answer the most frequently asked questions about chiropractic, sessions and our services.
Chiropractic is a profession focused exclusively on the detection and correction of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex through specific chiropractic adjustments.
Currently, Chiropractic is not a regulated healthcare profession in Spain. Therefore, Momentum Quiropràctic is a non-healthcare centre, and the professionals providing services at the centre do not practise as doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, or any other healthcare professionals regulated under Spanish legislation.
Our chiropractors have completed five years of specific university-level education at Barcelona College of Chiropractic (BCC), obtaining a Master’s Degree in Chiropractic in accordance with the international academic standards established by the ECCE for the profession in the numerous countries where Chiropractic is officially recognised and regulated.
Many people choose to visit Momentum Quiropràctic as part of a lifestyle focused on wellbeing and maintaining proper spinal function.
The services offered at our centre are not intended to diagnose, treat, relieve, rehabilitate, or prevent diseases, injuries, symptoms, pain, or any other medical condition.
If you experience pain, symptoms, an injury, an illness, or any other health-related issue, you should first consult a doctor or another legally authorised healthcare professional.
No, it is not a therapy.
Within the chiropractic model, the purpose of Chiropractic is not to treat diseases, relieve symptoms, or rehabilitate injuries.
Its sole purpose is the detection and correction of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex through specific chiropractic adjustments, with the aim of supporting proper spinal function and overall wellbeing.
Actions intended to diagnose, treat, relieve, or rehabilitate diseases, injuries, or symptoms fall within the scope of legally authorised healthcare professionals.
Chiropractic adjustments are specific manual procedures performed by professionals with comprehensive university-level education in Chiropractic.
Before graduating, our chiropractors complete more than 1,000 hours of supervised clinical practice under the guidance of experienced professionals. They subsequently continue their professional education, completing an average of approximately 130 hours of continuing education each year to keep their knowledge and skills up to date.
As with any manual procedure, mild and temporary discomfort may occur, such as muscle stiffness or tenderness, which normally subsides within a short period of time.
Before beginning care, each person receives sufficient information to freely decide whether they wish to receive the services offered.
No, it does not.
Momentum Quiropràctic does not provide medical, physiotherapy, or regulated healthcare services.
Our services do not replace assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or follow-up provided by doctors or other legally authorised healthcare professionals.

Manipulation generally refers to a manual technique applied for different purposes depending on the profession or discipline performing it.
A chiropractic adjustment is a specific manual procedure characteristic of the chiropractic model, in which a precise, controlled and directed force is applied exclusively for the detection and correction of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.
At Momentum Quiropràctic, chiropractic adjustments are not performed with the purpose of diagnosing, treating, relieving, rehabilitating, or preventing diseases, injuries, symptoms, pain, or any other medical condition.
Chiropractic adjustments are performed exclusively within the scope of Chiropractic and for wellbeing purposes.
The perception of changes is different for each person, as every body has its own capacity for expression and recovery. The chiropractor establishes a session plan appropriate to each person’s needs based on the analysis of the different assessments carried out during the first visit.
At Momentum Quiropràctic, we emphasise the importance of visit frequency in achieving excellent, long-term results.
We monitor your progress through regular reviews and adapt your session plan as we move forward.
During the first visit, we take all the time necessary to gather the required information, carry out the assessments, and explain the findings in detail, together with the recommended session plan. The first visit is divided into two separate appointments, each lasting 30 minutes.
Regular sessions are difficult to assess precisely, as they depend greatly on what your body needs at that particular time. On average, they last between 10 and 20 minutes.
There are a wide variety of adjustment techniques in the profession. At Momentum Quiropràctic we combine a series of techniques so that each individual is welcome and can benefit from chiropractic sessions with the one that best suits your needs.
Some of the adjustment techniques we use are:
