Your chiropractic clinic in Paris: specialized chiropractic treatment
Chiropractic is a recognized healthcare profession in France, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders of the spine and joints. At Sophie Baltaci's chiropractic practice, located in the heart of Paris in the 2nd arrondissement, we treat patients daily suffering from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, postural problems related to office work, and many other issues. Our approach is based on precise manual techniques—spinal adjustments, joint mobilizations, and soft tissue work—to restore mobility, relieve pain, and prevent recurrence.
Our chiropractic approach is based on accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan. Whether you suffer from chronic lower back pain, neck pain related to office work, debilitating sciatica, or recurring migraines, we identify the root cause of your symptoms rather than simply masking the pain. Spinal adjustments, combined with rehabilitation exercises and postural advice, help restore proper spinal alignment and optimize the function of your neuro-musculoskeletal system. Each patient receives a comprehensive assessment during the initial consultation, including a thorough physical examination and, if necessary, medical imaging analysis.
Our specialties: back pain, cervical spine, sciatica, migraines, herniated disc, shoulder, scoliosis, jaw (ATM), dizziness.
What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a manual healthcare profession specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the neuro-musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors primarily work through precise spinal adjustments, aiming to restore joint mobility and optimize nervous system function.
Contrary to popular belief, chiropractic is not just about the "cracking" of the back. It's a holistic approach that considers your posture, lifestyle, and habits to offer natural treatment without medication or surgery. The chiropractor uses their hands as the primary therapeutic tool to correct vertebral misalignments (subluxations) that can cause pain and functional problems.
In our practice in Paris, we treat a wide range of conditions: from lower back and neck pain to migraines, sciatica, shoulder pain and posture-related disorders at work.

Lower back pain is the most common reason for consultation at our chiropractic clinic.

The majority of our patients experience significant improvement within the first few sessions.

Neck pain affects many Parisians, often linked to prolonged screen time or stress. Our chiropractic treatment combines gentle cervical spinal adjustments, mobilizations, and ergonomic advice to relieve tension, reduce associated headaches, and restore normal range of motion.

Sciatica causes pain radiating from the lower back down the leg, often due to nerve compression. Through spinal decompression techniques and targeted adjustments, we relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and guide our patients towards a lasting recovery.

How are chiropractic treatments conducted in our practice?
1
First consultation
Your first visit to the chiropractor lasts approximately 45 minutes. It includes a thorough consultation about your pain and medical history, a complete clinical examination (posture, mobility, orthopedic and neurological tests) and initial chiropractic care tailored to your situation.
2
Personalized treatment plan
At your second appointment, 2-3 days later, your chiropractor will assess your body's response and develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan will first aim to relieve your pain, then address the underlying cause of your problems for lasting results.
3
Monitoring and prevention
Follow-up sessions at our clinic last 20-30 minutes. They are scheduled more frequently at the beginning to create significant change, then spaced out as progress is made. Our goal: for our patients to regain their mobility and enjoy a pain-free life.
Chiropractor or osteopath: what's the difference?
This is one of the most frequent questions from our patients. Although both professions involve manual therapies, they differ in their training, approach, and legal framework.
Chiropractors complete a five-year university degree (Master's level) and are the only manual therapists authorized to perform spinal manipulations without prior medical approval. Osteopaths also complete a five-year degree, but their regulatory framework differs: they cannot manipulate the cervical spine without a medical certificate stating there are no contraindications.
The chiropractic approach focuses on the relationship between the spine, the nervous system, and overall health. Chiropractors primarily use specific spinal adjustments (thrusts), while osteopaths employ a wider range of techniques, including visceral and cranial manipulations.
In practice, these two disciplines are complementary. The choice depends on your specific issue. For spinal pain, postural problems, and neuro-musculoskeletal disorders, the chiropractor is the specialist of choice.

Je la recommande vivement. À chaque séance, elle parvient à libérer les tensions au niveau du cou, des épaules ou du dos, toujours avec précision et une grande douceur. Le suivi est rigoureux, l'accueil est chaleureux et les résultats sont vraiment remarquables. Professionnelle, efficace et à l'écoute : un vrai soulagement à chaque fois.
J'ai consulté plusieurs fois pour des douleurs et chaque séance m'a apporté un vrai soulagement. Sophie est à l'écoute, explique les gestes clairement, et les effets se ressentent rapidement. Je la recommande vivement, autant pour son professionnalisme que pour la gentillesse de l'accueil !
Elle m'a suivie avant, pendant et après ma grossesse. Elle a grandement contribué à mon bien-être durant cette période. C'est une vraie magicienne qui débloque les tensions persistantes. Je la recommande !
Super thérapeute, je suis venu pour des douleurs cervicales récurrentes avec des maux de tête, et après 2-3 séances, je n'avais plus aucune douleur ! Je recommande vivement !
Je suis venue avec mon mari car je souffrais d'intenses douleurs cervicales depuis plusieurs années. Je détestais qu'on me touche le cou. Sophie m'a tout expliqué et m'a mise à l'aise. Après seulement deux séances, j'ai senti une différence significative. Depuis, j'aime y aller régulièrement pour soulager les douleurs liées à la posture et au stress.
Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic in Paris
What conditions can a chiropractor treat?
A chiropractor treats musculoskeletal disorders: back pain (lumbago, herniated disc), neck pain, sciatica, cruralgia, headaches of cervical origin, joint pain (shoulder, knee, hip), postural disorders related to office work, as well as pain related to sport and pregnancy.
What happens during the first consultation?
During your first visit, we conduct a comprehensive assessment: discussion of your symptoms and medical history, physical examination (posture, mobility, orthopedic and neurological tests). A personalized treatment plan is then proposed, and the first adjustment is usually made during this initial session.
How long does a chiropractic session last?
The initial consultation lasts approximately 45 minutes and includes a detailed interview, a complete clinical examination, and the first treatment. Follow-up sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes.
Do I need a prescription?
No, no prescription is necessary. You can consult a chiropractor directly.
What is the difference between a chiropractor and an osteopath?
Chiropractors and osteopaths are both manual practitioners, but chiropractors are the only non-physician healthcare professionals authorized to perform spinal manipulations without prior medical advice. Chiropractic training lasts five years (Master's level) and is regulated by the Ministry of Health. Chiropractic focuses particularly on the spine and nervous system.
How much does a chiropractic consultation cost in Paris?
The first consultation (full assessment + treatment) costs €100, follow-up sessions €80. Chiropractic care is not covered by French social security, but many private health insurance plans (mutuelles) reimburse part or all of the sessions. We provide a detailed invoice for your insurance.
Chiropractor or physiotherapist: what's the difference?
The physiotherapist primarily works on muscular and functional rehabilitation, often following an injury or surgery. The chiropractor focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders through spinal and joint manipulation. The two approaches are complementary and can be combined depending on the patient's needs.
Is chiropractic suitable for children and pregnant women?
Yes, chiropractic is suitable for all ages. For children, we use very gentle techniques adapted to their size and shape. For pregnant women, chiropractic care relieves common lower back and pelvic pain during pregnancy, safely for both mother and baby.
Can a chiropractor treat babies and infants?
Yes, chiropractors can treat infants from the first days of life. The techniques used are extremely gentle—light pressure with the fingertips, without any cracking or popping. Chiropractors can help with colic, congenital torticollis, sleep disturbances, plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome), and postural asymmetries in infants. These treatments are completely safe and well-tolerated by babies.
Is chiropractic suitable for the elderly?
Absolutely. Chiropractors adapt their techniques to each patient, including seniors. For older adults, we use gentle, low-velocity methods, avoiding sudden manipulations. Chiropractic care can help maintain joint mobility, relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis, improve balance, and prevent falls. It's an effective complement to physiotherapy and medical follow-up.
Can you consult a chiropractor for stress and sleep disorders?
Yes. Stress causes muscle tension, particularly in the neck and upper back, which can disrupt sleep. By addressing this tension and restoring proper nervous system function, chiropractic treatment promotes relaxation and improves sleep quality. We support our patients with postural advice and complementary relaxation exercises.
What are the risks of spinal manipulation?
Chiropractic adjustments are safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor. Side effects are rare and mild: slight soreness or fatigue within 24 to 48 hours after the session, similar to that felt after exercise. Before any treatment, your chiropractor will perform a complete clinical examination and check for any contraindications. Patient safety is our top priority.
Should X-rays be taken before consulting a doctor?
No, X-rays are not always necessary. During your initial consultation, the chiropractor will perform a thorough clinical examination, which is sufficient in the vast majority of cases to establish a diagnosis. If further examinations (X-rays, MRI) are deemed necessary, your chiropractor will refer you to the appropriate specialist. If you already have recent imaging studies, please bring them with you to your first appointment.
Is torticollis treatment painful?
No, we use gentle techniques adapted to your condition and sensitivity.
Can a chiropractor heal torticollis quickly?
Yes, most patients feel significant improvement from the first session.
How long does torticollis last?
Without treatment, torticollis can last several days. With chiropractic, relief is often immediate.
