Your English-speaking chiropractor in Barcelona
illumINNATE Chiropractic Studio is an English-speaking chiropractic practice for expats, international families and locals, at Roger de Llúria 137 in Barcelona's Eixample, a five-minute walk from Passeig de Gràcia and Diagonal. Since 2019, Dr. Kelli Turelli and Dr. Francisco Turelli have cared for more than 3,000 practice members from all over the world, with a focus on the nervous system, pregnancy, babies and families. Today the team is three chiropractors: Dr. Kelli Turelli, Dr. Francisco Turelli and Dr. Ester Tellez.
What makes illumINNATE different
- Three Doctors of Chiropractic: Dr. Kelli and Dr. Francisco Turelli, trained at Life University (USA) and members of the Asociación Española de Quiropráctica (AEQ), and Dr. Ester Tellez, trained at the Barcelona College of Chiropractic.
- Care in English and Spanish, for locals and the international community.
- INSiGHT nervous-system scanning at your first visit and at every progress check, so you can see change, not just feel it.
- Specialists in prenatal and pediatric care (Dr. Kelli is ICPA-trained) and in family wellness (Dr. Francisco teaches technique at the Barcelona College of Chiropractic). Dr. Ester cares for families, pregnancy and children and is trained in the Webster technique.
- A calm, light-filled studio designed to feel like home, not a clinic.
Who we help
Most people first come to us with a symptom: back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, poor posture from long hours at a desk, or discomfort during pregnancy. We look past the symptom to how the nervous system is functioning, because that is what controls how your body heals and adapts.
Our practice members include pregnant moms preparing for birth, newborns and children, professionals under stress, athletes and dancers, and whole families who choose chiropractic care as their preventative health routine.
Your first visit, step by step
- Health consultation: we listen to your story and your goals.
- Digital posture analysis and neurological exam, including the INSiGHT scan.
- Chiropractic evaluation and your first specific adjustment, in the same visit.
- Report of Findings on your second visit: your results and a personalized care plan.
