Headaches and vertigo: chiropractic care in Vilanova

Chiropractic care for the cervical spine in Vilanova i la Geltrú for people living with tension in the neck and head. We assess neck mobility and posture, without replacing medical care.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Long hours at a screen with your head pushed forward
  • A tight neck and shoulders at the end of the working day
  • Difficulty turning your neck fully, for example when parking
  • You sleep in a position that leaves your neck stiff in the morning
  • Your doctor has already seen you and you would also like your neck assessed

Our approach

The cervical spine holds up your head all day and soaks up the strain of screen time, driving and awkward sleeping positions. When the neck vertebrae lose part of their mobility, the muscles of the neck and shoulders work harder. At Tantae we start with an assessment of your cervical spine, posture and neck mobility. If chiropractic care is suitable for you, Dimitri uses specific adjustments to bring movement back to the stiff areas. If you have frequent headaches, dizziness or vertigo, it is important that your doctor assesses them; chiropractic care does not replace that. If you take medication, keep following your doctor's advice.

What we look at in practice

If you have been diagnosed with migraine

Migraine follow-up is a matter for your GP or neurologist. What Dimitri does is assess the mobility of your cervical spine and your posture, where many people build up tension. It is not a migraine treatment; at the first visit we assess whether chiropractic care makes sense for you.

Neck tension

Holding the same position at a computer or phone loads the muscles of the neck. We assess cervical and thoracic mobility, adjust the stiff areas and give you simple posture tips for everyday life.

Feeling unsteady

If you feel dizzy or unsteady, the first step is to see your doctor. Once other causes have been ruled out and the feeling comes on with certain neck movements, Dimitri can assess your cervical mobility and decide with you whether chiropractic care is suitable.

How we work

01
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.

02
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.

03
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.

04
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

¿Puedo ir al quiropráctico si tengo migrañas?
Sí, pero conviene saber qué esperar. El ajuste quiropráctico trabaja sobre la movilidad de la columna cervical y la postura, no sobre la migraña en sí. Dimitri valora cada caso en la primera visita y te dice si la quiropráctica tiene sentido para ti. No sustituye la atención médica: el diagnóstico y el seguimiento de la migraña corresponden a tu médico.
¿Puedo ir al quiropráctico si tengo vértigo?
Primero debe valorarlo tu médico, porque el vértigo puede tener muchos orígenes. Si ya se ha descartado otra causa y la sensación aparece con ciertos movimientos del cuello, Dimitri hace pruebas de movilidad cervical para ver si el cuidado quiropráctico es adecuado en tu caso.
¿Cuánto tiempo se tarda en notar cambios?
Cada persona responde de forma distinta y no podemos darte un plazo cerrado. Tras la valoración, Dimitri te propone un plan y revisa contigo en cada visita cómo se mueve tu cuello y cómo te encuentras.
