For your back, neck and health
We treat complaints that arise from the spine and the musculoskeletal system – from top athletes to crying babies and from chronic pain to persistent complaints that you have to “learn to live with.” With us, you are in good hands.
Chiropractic is a form of health care that diagnoses, treats and prevents musculoskeletal complaints. Our chiropractors are university-trained experts in back pain, neck pain, and other complaints originating in the spine, nervous system, muscles, and joints.
Does insurance cover a chiropractic consultation?
Almost all health insurance companies have included chiropractic care in their supplementary package under alternative medicine. A condition is that your chiropractor must be affiliated with a professional association, such as the NCA, and be registered with the Stichting Chiropractic Nederland (SCN).
Specializing in the treatments of:
Low back pain is a common complaint: about 80% of the Dutch experience low back pain at some point in their lives. These complaints can range from shooting pains in the lower back and a heavy, oppressive feeling to tingling or a sleepy, stinging sensation.
After lower back complaints, neck, shoulder, and arm complaints are among the most treated issues by a chiropractor, common conditions include stiff neck and shoulder muscles, whiplash, muscle knots, osteoarthritis, and cervical hernia.
A hernia, also known as a hernia nuclei pulposi (HNP), occurs when the soft core of an intervertebral disc bulges through its outer fibers and puts pressure on surrounding structures, such as nerves. This can lead to pain.
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition in which the shoulder becomes stiff and less mobile. It affects about 2 to 5% of the population, mostly people between the ages of 40 and 60.
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), also known as CANS (Complaints of Arm, Neck, and Shoulder), is a collective term for complaints caused by repetitive strain on muscles, tendons and joints.
During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes major physical and hormonal changes. The growing weight of the baby, changes in body posture, and increased production of hormones such as relaxin can lead to back pain, pelvic pain, and other discomforts.
Headaches and migraines are relatively common in both young and old people. Although medications can provide short-term relief, they are not an ideal solution due to side effects and suppression of symptoms.
Top athletes have to get the best out of themselves repeatedly. Whether it’s football, tennis, athletics, or skating, the body is constantly tested.
Even at a young age, problems in the spine can occur. This can be the result of a complicated delivery, such as a cesarean section, vacuum extraction, or a premature birth.
Whiplash is a collective term for neck injuries caused by a sudden movement of the head, often due to a car accident, fall or sports injury. The rapid “swing” of the head causes overload of the neck structures.
Osteoarthritis, or joint wear, is often seen as an inevitable consequence of old age. Although age is an important factor, research shows that osteoarthritis is not evenly distributed throughout the spine.
Every patient is received with care. After an extensive anamnesis and examination, we explain your complaints clearly. Insight into your situation and expectations is essential, which is why we provide extensive explanations about your complaints and health.
To inform you even better, we regularly organize free information evenings/back training. Here we discuss:
- The origin of complaints
- Treatment Options
- Prevention and consciously dealing with your back and health
During these meetings there is room for questions. Everyone is welcome! Reservations can be easily made via our contact form, email or by phone.
