Centre Chiropràctic de la Columna Vertebral

Chiropractic Care in Barcelona and Sitges

The Centre Chiropràctic de la Columna Vertebral is a chiropractic center with two locations in Catalonia: Barcelona and Sitges. It was founded by chiropractor Alain Chiappinelli during the 1992 Olympic Games, making it one of Spain’s earliest chiropractic centers.

• Headaches and stiff neck
• Neck and upper-back pain
• Back pain and lower-back pain
• Sciatica and thigh pain
• Scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis
• Spondylolisthesis
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Fibromyalgia
• Sports injuries, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis
• Cervical disc degeneration and whiplash
• Nerve impingement and herniated discs
• Tendinitis, golfer’s elbow, and shoulder bursitis

The center describes its approach in terms of prevention, wellness, and relief and correction of back and joint problems. It says a computerized spinal assessment is performed before chiropractic techniques are used.

Practitioners

The team includes chiropractors who graduated from universities in North America, France, and Spain. The practitioners named are Alain Chiappinelli, Andreas Chiappinelli, and Jean-François Dedieu.

Facilities

Both centers have electrohydraulic treatment tables and private treatment rooms adapted to each patient.
