Chiropractic care for children in Vilanova i la Geltrú. Gentle techniques adapted to each age to check the spine and posture and support children as they grow.
Do any of these sound familiar?
- Spends long hours on screens or carrying a heavy school bag
- Slouches when sitting or lets the shoulders drop
- Is going through a growth spurt and their posture is changing
- Plays a lot of sport or takes frequent tumbles while playing
- You have just become parents and would like your baby's spine checked
Our approach
Paediatric chiropractic uses techniques that are very different from those used with adults. With a baby or child the pressure is minimal, similar to what you would apply with a fingertip on your eyelid, and it is adapted to their age and size. The aim is to check how their spine moves and how their posture develops as they grow, a stage full of tumbles, heavy school bags and hours of screen time. Dimitri is trained in paediatric techniques and sees children from babyhood at his Vilanova practice. A chiropractic assessment does not replace check-ups with your paediatrician.
What we look at in practice
Posture at school age
Heavy school bags, hours sitting in class and screens all affect how a child sits and moves. We check their spine and posture and give the family simple pointers. If we suspect scoliosis, we will discuss it with you so your paediatrician can assess it.
Check-ups during growth
Falls, knocks while playing and intense sport are all part of childhood. A regular spinal check-up, using gentle techniques adapted to the child's age, lets us see how the spine is moving and support them through each stage.
Baby check-ups
Some families bring their baby in during the first weeks to have the spine checked, especially after a long or assisted birth. The techniques are very gentle, with minimal pressure. This check-up does not replace your paediatrician's follow-up.
How we work
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.
The first sessions focus on bringing movement back to stiff areas. Visits are closer together at the start and are then spaced out.
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.
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.
