You would like someone to check how your spine is moving

Our approach

Your back reflects what you do every day: hours of sitting, time in the car, lifting at work, too little movement. When some vertebrae lose part of their mobility, the rest of the spine compensates and stiffness and a sense of strain set in. Dimitri de Borodaewsky starts with a full functional assessment (posture, mobility tests and palpation of the spine) to find the areas that move least. He then uses specific spinal adjustments to bring movement back to them. Every case is different: at your first visit he explains what he has found and whether chiropractic care is right for you. Chiropractic care does not replace medical care; if you take medication, keep following your doctor's advice.

What we look at in practice

The neck

The neck holds up the head for many hours a day, often tilted towards a screen. We assess how the cervical spine moves and how it relates to the shoulders, and adjust the vertebrae that move least.

The lower back

The lower back is the most common reason people come to Tantae. We look at how the lumbar vertebrae and pelvis move, how you sit and how you lift, and adjust the areas that have lost mobility.

When discomfort travels down the leg

If you feel discomfort travelling into the buttock or leg, the first step is to understand where it comes from. Dimitri assesses the lower back and pelvis and, if he sees anything that a doctor should look into, he will tell you. If chiropractic care is suitable, he works on the mobility of that area.

If you have a disc herniation report

Many people arrive with an MRI scan and a medical report. Dimitri reviews them, assesses how your spine moves and tells you clearly whether chiropractic care is suitable in your case. Follow-up of the herniation is your doctor's job; chiropractic care does not replace it.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine. Dimitri assesses the curve and how each section of the spine moves, and suggests a chiropractic care plan focused on mobility and posture, without replacing any medical follow-up you already have.

How we work

Initial assessment

At your first visit Dimitri assesses your spine, posture and mobility, explains what he has found and, if chiropractic care is right for you, suggests a care plan.

First sessions

The first sessions focus on bringing movement back to stiff areas. Visits are closer together at the start and are then spaced out.

Stabilisation

We review with you how your spine is responding and adjust the plan. Every case is different, so we do not set a fixed number of sessions.

Maintenance

If you wish, regular check-ups to look after the mobility of your spine, much like visiting the dentist. You decide how far you want to go.

Frequently asked questions

¿Cuántas sesiones necesito para la espalda?

Depende de cada caso. En la primera visita Dimitri valora tu columna, te explica lo que ha encontrado y te propone un plan con revisiones para ver cómo respondes. No damos un número cerrado de sesiones de antemano.

¿Tengo que traer informes o pruebas de imagen?

Si tienes radiografías, resonancias o informes médicos, tráelos: ayudan a Dimitri a valorar si la quiropráctica es adecuada para ti. Si no tienes ninguno, no pasa nada; la valoración quiropráctica se hace igualmente.

¿La quiropráctica sustituye al médico o al fisioterapeuta?

No. La quiropráctica se centra en la movilidad y la función de la columna y puede convivir con otros cuidados. Si en la valoración aparece algo que deba estudiar un médico, Dimitri te lo dirá. Si tomas medicación, sigue las indicaciones de tu médico.
