The Must-do Gym Stretch… There is one particular muscle that I see in my Chiropractic Center in Barcelona that causes a lot of back pain and gluteal problems, especially in gym goers… the Rectus Femoralis muscle. If you get a sore back from standing for a while, this may be the cause, especially if you…
Gym exercises that can damage your back… A common cause of back pain and back issues that I see in my chiropractic center is something that should be healthy for us—gym exercises! Exercise is the single most important thing we can do for the health of our spine, but with certain gym exercises you need…
Chiropractic & Anxiety. Can it help? “Why do I feel so relaxed after a chiropractic adjustment?” is a question I hear often in my practice in Barcelona.

Headaches & Chiropractic. There are many causes of headaches, but one of the most common is cervicogenic headache—headache with an origin in the neck. The reason the neck is such a common cause of headaches is simple—the nerves that supply the head with sensation pass between the neck vertebrae and through the muscles of the…
Low Back Pain, Sciatica, & Chiropractic Back pain can come and go, and is often caused by something that you have done recently, but chronic or recurrent back pain is an indication that there is an underlying problem.

Beds, Pillows & Sleeping Positions. So Important! Beds, pillows and the positions you sleep in are frequent causes of spinal problems. We spend a third of our life in bed so it’s worth taking the time to get these factors right. The key to a healthy night’s sleep is to keep your spinal in a…
