Instituto Balear de Columna

What Instituto Balear de Columna does

Instituto Balear de Columna (trading as IBAC Clínica) is a privately held multi-specialty medical clinic headquartered in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, operating from a single facility at C/. Industria, 18 Bajos that contains 8 treatment boxes. Founded around 2015, the clinic is dedicated to the study, prevention, and treatment of musculoskeletal and spinal conditions, with a service portfolio that spans regenerative medicine (PRP, hyaluronic acid, ozone therapy, prolotherapy), traumatology and orthopedic surgery, physiotherapy, an interventional pain management unit, shockwave rehabilitation, clinical nutrition, and neurophysiology diagnostics.

The clinic differentiates on technology rather than volume. It operates the proprietary Spine 3D™ LiDAR postural analysis system, described as exclusive in Palma de Mallorca, for non-invasive, radiation-free 3D spinal assessment. Its therapeutic toolkit includes ultrasound-guided infiltrations, percutaneous intratissue electrolysis (EPI), Global Postural Re-education (RPG), rhizolysis and radiofrequency ablation, shockwave therapy, ultrasound-guided neuromodulation, and gait and biomechanics analysis. Service is delivered by a multidisciplinary clinical team led by Medical Director Dr. Germán Wertheimer, including specialists in regenerative medicine, pain management, physiotherapy, acupuncture, and nutrition.

Commercially, IBAC is a fee-for-service specialty clinic that bills directly through agreements with 16+ Spanish health insurance providers (Adeslas, Sanitas, Mapfre, AXA, DKV, Generali, Asisa, Caser, Aegon and others) and accepts self-paying patients. Marketing is primarily organic via the ibac.es website, WhatsApp Business, and a 4.5-star Google Business profile (41 reviews). The clinic offers care in six languages (Spanish, Catalan, English, French, German, Dutch), and guarantees appointments within 1-15 days. Its geographic footprint is the Balearic Islands, with no disclosed second site.
