Dr. Kirchner is known for his excellence in spinal treatment. His approach is based on minimally invasive techniques that allow patients to recover without surgery.

Currently, the team led by Dr. Fernando Kirchner is comprised of a highly qualified group of healthcare professionals, including specialized nurses, orthopedic surgeons, and sports medicine experts. This team is exclusively dedicated to treating spinal problems, both in the cervical and lumbar regions. We use noninvasive approaches involving the application of protein-rich plasma to treat conditions such as herniated discs, bulging discs, and degenerative disc lesions, as well as osteoarthritis in the cervical and lumbar spine. These treatments allow patients to receive care on an outpatient basis with sedation, providing a comfortable and effective experience.

Our mission is to provide the patients we serve at our facilities with the highest quality medical treatment, based on ethical principles, with the goal of achieving excellence in medical care and exceptional humane treatment.

Advanced and personalized treatments

At Agrupación del Maresme, we understand that every patient is unique. That's why our team is dedicated to providing personalized treatments to address spinal problems such as herniated discs, whiplash, cervical or lumbar osteoarthritis, fractures, and much more. We use advanced techniques and regenerative medicine to promote healing and recovery without surgery.

Growth factor therapy

Our Growth Factor Therapy (PRP) for minimally invasive treatment of the lumbar or cervical spine is performed in a surgical setting, despite being a completely outpatient procedure. This is due to the precise infiltration guided by a fluoroscope (scanner) to ensure the treatment's accuracy and effectiveness. For patient comfort, minimal sedation and local anesthesia are administered, either orally or intravenously, always without the need for surgery or incisions. The patient can return home after approximately 40 minutes of the procedure.

Focus on pain-free rehabilitation



Rehabilitation is fundamental to the recovery process. Dr. Kirchner excels at offering pain-free rehabilitation programs that effectively help patients regain their mobility and quality of life. Our team of professionals is committed to providing you with the necessary support throughout your recovery process.
