No, you can pay on-site with debit card or cash. You’ll receive a receipt that you can submit to your health insurance company.

We not only treat the symptom of the complaint but also examine the underlying cause. We do this using the “Chiro Priorities” system. This minimizes the recurrence of complaints.

However, our bodies are constantly being challenged, which can lead to new problems arising or the recurrence of old ones. For these reasons, we recommend everyone come in for a check-up every one to two months to ensure that their body is still functioning optimally.

In some cases, you’ll feel better immediately after treatment. In other cases, multiple treatments are necessary. The chiropractor will discuss the expected length of the treatment with you. This also depends on the complexity of the problem and how long it has been going on.

At Chiropractie Centraal, a comprehensive complaint analysis is performed, after which the chiropractor develops a treatment plan. Our chiropractors are trained to refer you to the appropriate professional if the complaint analysis indicates that other medical attention is required.

A medical practice is called alternative when it isn’t officially recognized by the government. However, this doesn’t mean it’s any less valuable. Chiropractic has been proven to be the most cost-effective method for treating back pain. In countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States, chiropractic has been recognized as an official medical practice for decades. Hopefully, chiropractic will soon be included in the official medical system in the Netherlands as well.

Chiropractors are trained to treat a wide variety of complaints. Complaints that indicate something is wrong with the nervous system are generally easily treated by a chiropractor. The complaints below are signs that the nervous system is or may be affected. Anyone who recognizes these signs should visit a chiropractor as soon as possible. For a more detailed overview of the complaints treated at Chiropractie Centraal, please visit our page on conditions we regularly treat.

  • Headache
  • Nervousness
  • Painful joints
  • Stiffness in the neck
  • Pain between the shoulders
  • Back pain
  • Pain, tingling, and/or radiating sensations in the arms and/or legs
  • Numbness or stiffness in the hands and feet
  • Chronic fatigue

Chiropractic as we practice it today is just over 100 years old. This means that chiropractic is indeed a new form of medicine. However, around 5,000 years ago, medical procedures were already being performed that strongly resemble modern chiropractic. The principle of chiropractic was also known to the ancient Greeks.

“It is necessary to have a thorough knowledge of the spine, for many diseases are actually caused by a defect in it.” Hippocrates, De Articulus 47

Wij accepteren dokterverwijzingen, maar ze zijn niet nodig voor u om chiropractiezorg te starten en zijn doorgaans niet verplicht door uw verzekering.
