Stress and tension: chiropractic care in Vilanova i la Geltrú

For long spells of pressure that settle in the body. We do not treat stress itself: we look after the body that carries it, with a spinal assessment and adjustments to bring movement back to stiff areas.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Neck and shoulders that tighten up in your busiest weeks
  • Long hours in front of a screen, barely changing position
  • Daily commutes by car or train between the Garraf and Barcelona
  • The feeling of never quite switching off, even at the weekend
  • A period of change (work, a move, family) that you can feel in your body

Our approach

When a demanding period drags on, the body feels it: shoulders creep up, the neck stiffens, breathing becomes higher and shorter, and it gets harder to sit comfortably at the computer or behind the wheel. Chiropractic care does not treat stress or its causes. What we do is look after the body that carries it. Dimitri starts with an assessment of your spine and posture to see where the tension has settled. He then uses spinal adjustments to bring movement back to the stiff areas and, if it makes sense for you, suggests a care plan for your busiest periods, alongside rest and movement. Chiropractic care does not replace medical or psychological care: if stress feels like too much, please also speak to your GP or a psychologist.

What we look at in practice

Neck and shoulder tension from the pace of work

It is what we see most in busy periods: raised shoulders, a stiff neck and the feeling of carrying a weight around all day. We assess how the cervical and thoracic spine move and adjust the areas that move least.

Posture and screens

Hours at the computer and on the phone push the head forward and round the upper back. Alongside the adjustment, we give you simple pointers for your workstation and for taking breaks during the day.

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

¿La quiropráctica trata el estrés?
No. El estrés tiene muchas causas y la quiropráctica no actúa sobre ellas. Lo que hacemos es cuidar el cuerpo que lo acumula: valoramos la columna y la postura y ajustamos las zonas que han perdido movilidad. La quiropráctica no sustituye la atención médica ni psicológica; si sientes que el estrés te supera, consulta también con tu médico o con un psicólogo.
¿Cómo es la primera visita si vengo por tensión acumulada?
Como cualquier primera visita: hablamos de tu día a día (trabajo, horas de pantalla, conducción, descanso), Dimitri valora tu columna y tu postura y te explica lo que ha encontrado. Si la quiropráctica es adecuada para ti, puede hacer el primer ajuste en esa misma sesión.
¿Cada cuánto tendría que venir?
Depende de cada persona y de la etapa en la que estés. Hay quien viene más a menudo en las semanas de más carga y luego espacia las visitas. Lo decidimos juntos después de la valoración, sin compromisos cerrados.
