Differences between Physiotherapy and Chiropractic
When we experience pain in the back, neck, shoulders, or legs, one of the first steps we often take is to look for a professional to help us get relief. At that point, the big question arises: should I go to a physiotherapist or a chiropractor? Although both disciplines work on the body and help […]
Sciatica
Sciatica is a name that is used for many discomforts in the lower back. The real cause of Sciatica is an irritation of the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs, with its branches, from the spine through the pelvis to the leg. If the nerve gets irritated somewhere from the spine before it enters the leg, […]
Chest Pain
Too many people have chest pain without knowing what is the caused. When it first presented, often is thought that it is a problem with the heart. This is mainly because often the pain is felt in the shoulder, arm and the pain is aggravated with physical activity. Mostly, however, this complaint has a different […]
Habits and back pain
A problem often seen in practice is that patients after a successful treatment period develop the same symptoms as they had before. To prevent this we advise people about their (working) posture, we give specific exercises and we put patients on a maintenance program in the form of maintenance treatments. Unfortunately, often is thought that […]
The spine is the Base of Your Health
The spine has the biomechanical function to keep the body upright and flexible, but as well it has the task to protect the central nervous system.

Maintenance of the spine is an important aspect of good health. People are going to the dentist twice a year to check their teeth without having […]
Pins and needles in the arms/hands and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Countless people are suffering from a tingling sensation somewhere in the body. This can actually occur anywhere in the body, but especially in the arms this can lead to major problems. Having pins and needles ALWAYS means that “something” is going on with a nerve. The nerve might be trapped, irritated or even damaged. The […]
Shoulder Problems
In practice, I notice that many people needlessly are suffering from shoulder pain. Often a diagnosis has been given as “Frozen Shoulder”, “calcification” or “bursitis” and people often think that nothing can be done. Often this is NOT the case. Shoulder problems are almost always caused by impingement of a structure in the shoulder itself […]
Pain in the shoulder blade and shoulder
A recurring complaint that we often see in our practice is a difficult to describe pain behind the shoulder. The pain is almost always indicated behind the shoulder, but often felt like a pain under the shoulder blade. This pain is usually accompanied by a radiating pain to the shoulder and the arm, with or […]
