I’ve always been prone to neck pain and torticollis but one morning after doing some stretching before showering, I felt a stab in the back, followed by a sharp pain. Throughout the morning, the pain became unbearable. I was unable to even move and decided to go to the ER.

They found a bulging disc between C5 and C6. The doctor prescribed painkillers and anti-inflammatory as well as physiotherapy sessions, but nothing relieved the pain.

I spent 21 days without being able to sleep in bed. At night, I was sitting in the living room couch, trying to sleep, but the pain would not let me.

This situation was unbearable when, up on the recommendation of a friend, I went to see Dr. Angela for the first time, because until then, I had not even heard of chiropractic.

Since I started treatment the recovery was fairly quick and I celebrated the day when I was able to sleep in my bed again! In addition, along with acupuncture chiropractic has helped me get rid of migraine headaches, which I was suffering from a since childhood.

I recommend it to everyone, at all times, because every time I leave the office I feel like a freshly oiled engine, everything is tuned up and works perfectly.

We discovered chiropractic after reaching a point, at which we had assumed that we had to live with the pain lifelong. All we could do about it was taking painkillers to cope with it.

We can only say that there is a before and after on the second day after birth and we are convinced that thanks to the care of her “fairy godmother” Angela, normal optimal growth is guaranteed. We can only say thank you very much for everything. We consider you our friends.

I was diagnosed with advanced idiopathic scoliosis and I was worried. I felt like my spine was crooked.

I wanted to do something about it and, two years ago, I asked for an appointment with Dr. Angela, upon recommendation of family friends.

She studied my case and explained me very well how they would treat my spine, in order to stop the progression of the scoliosis.

I was recommended a series of chiropractic treatments and postural rehabilitation with the physiotherapist.

The truth is that after each session I felt more balanced and my body seemed freer in its movements.

Also, I learned that spinal health is important for all organs and body systems, a good reason to maintain our spine healthy lifelong.

I was taught how to do daily exercises for the spine and how to watch my postural habits (how to carry the backpack, study and sleeping positions, choosing sports, etc.)

I also learned how to maintain a healthy diet and drink more water.

Now I am in maintenance therapy. I come in for a spinal check up and adjustment every 2-3 months.

I am very happy and would recommend chiropractic care to everyone. It helps maintaining overall Health, more so when you have back problems.

My name is Imma Biosca Carbonell. I am 52 years old and I graduated in History. Currently, I teach English.

About seven years ago my mother in law told me about a certain Dr. Olaru, chiropractor and specialist in treating the spine.

I was suffering of back pain, migraine headaches and recently I had the first crisis of vertigo. I was stiff like a steel pole. I almost didn’t dare move my head, my eyes were half closed and the back pain me forced me to lay down more hours than I could stand up. In short, I was a disaster.

So, after a night of bad sleep, I asked for an appointment with Dr. Olaru.

I must confess that the first day I was terrified, didn’t know what chiropractic was, nor exactly where I was going. Nevertheless, when I arrived to the clinic and saw a very kind little person, and with special energy. Despite my nervousness, insecurity and fear I listen carefully and so did she. I noticed that she watched carefully all my movements. I felt like I wanted to run away but fortunately I stayed.

The first sessions were memorable. She tried everything, but there was no way to move a single bone of my stiff body. I was sweating a lot and my patient gown completely wet. Horrible, even though I wanted I could not relax. I kept coming back and one day I felt and heard the first cracks. From that moment on, everything changed. Also the back pain and vertigo improved significantly.

Before I started treatment with Dr. Olaru I often took painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication for with for my pain. Altogether it felt like an explosive mixture in my stomach.

Currently I don’t take any medication. My vertigo, headaches and back pain have practically disappeared. Occasionally, I feel mild pain, which goes way by itself when I do my breathing exercises and self massage that my favorite doctor taught me.

Now I can say that I lead a normal life. Obviously, I take good care of my body, I follow her advice. My state of `mind, changed, I want to do things, my family relationships are much better. Before, I was always in a bad mood. Pain makes one irritable. It’s like an invisible traitor. People don’t see it and cannot understand you. Many times they think you are acting out. Fortunately, now all this is over.

Angela, I hope with all my heart that you never leave Sant Cugat., you have lots of patients here, and here we live quite well. All your patients need you, I need you.

I will always love you, and you know that, don’t you?

I met Dr. Angela Olaru through some patients several years ago. I had been diagnosed with herniated discs and suffered back pain and I went to see her.

Since then she keeps my spine in good shape with no associated symptoms. She also visited my three teenage children, who practice several sports. She helped balance out their spinal disorders due to incorrect postural habits and temporary dental malocclusion during orthodontic treatments and during their spinal growth.

More over I have referred many of my patients to Dr. Olaru. All of them have been favored by her excellent hands. Her good work, great professional knowledge, personal warmth and efficiency makes her a great consultant for me and referral and for my patients.

A year and two months ago I came to see Dr. Angela Olaru, recommended by a friend of mine who was her patient.

I had a lot of pain in my back and in both legs.

I couldn’t walk or nor sit. It was hopeless.

When the pain started, my daughter, who is a nurse, took me to a good orthopedic surgeon at the hospital, where he works. They found a spondylolisthesis, and I had two operations. They fixed my last lumbar vertebrae with a metal plate. After the first surgery my pain was worse and during the second I had the misfortune of catching an infection in the operating room. I recovered with great difficulty and my pain was even stronger, in spite of the many painkillers .

My experience was very good. I’ve improved a lot.

The key has been consistency in the visits and following with of the exercises.

I’ve also improved my diet, I learned to drink more water and continue to exercise every day to strengthen my muscles.

I recommend it to everyone.

Seven months ago I came to see Dr. Angela Olaru being referred by my family. I had severe back pain.

My experience has been very good. I’ve learned to take care of my posture and do exercises every day. Now I feel much better.

I believe that chiropractic needs to be highly recommended.

Alberto San Roman, 56 years IT Professional

For many years I suffered terrible headaches radiating to the left eye, to the point of tears. . I was diagnosed with “cluster headache”.

I took four types of strong painkillers, cortisone and other anti-inflammatory cocktails, but it was getting worse. When one of the many neurologists consulted told me that he didn’t know what else to do with me, I thought seriously about suicide. I couldn’t take it any more..

A friend told me about chiropractic. That was about 8 years ago. I started searching online and came across Dr. Angela Olaru.

She had recently opened her clinic in Sant Cugat del Valles.

My life changed.

It is difficult to describe all the details. I found out that my headache had multiple causes, subluxations of the cervical vertebrae, dental malocclusion, poor diet, emotional stress. The healing process was long but finally got to eliminate drugs and lead a normal life. I married and I have a beautiful wife and daughter, who also are under chiropractic care.

I certainly recommend chiropractic care to every one.

Thank you Dr. Angela

I came to see Dr. Angela Olaru by recommendation of my family. I had many severe migraines, dizziness and back pain.

I was a very positive experience. The strong migraines, dizziness and back pain disappeared.

I learned the importance of caring for myself, respecting the rhythm of the body, listening to it more and slowing down. Prevention is better than cure. Listening to the warning signs of the body can prevent disease.

I’ve also changed my diet and I reduced the drugs.

I have been under chiropractic maintenance care for two years together with my three children. We come for a spinal adjustment every two or three months and when we feel we need it.

I have noticed a big change especially with respect to their immunity and their behavior.

I recommend chiropractic care for every one since very early age. We can prevent many diseases, bad posture and bad habits.

I am in treatment with Dr. Angela Olaru for my scoliosis.

Before I started chiropractic treatment a year ago, I had back pain quite often. Now it no longer hurts and my scoliosis improved.

We come with the whole family from Cambrils, Tarragona. Dr. Olaru treats me, my two sisters, my mom and my grandmother. We are all delighted.

We have learned daily exercises for the spine, we improved our postural habits and diet, but sometimes we forget …

We know that maintaining a healthy spine is essential to maintain health.

Of course we encourage everyone to make a chiropractic checkup as soon as possible.
