Your first visit

This is how your first visit will go

From receipt to first treatment in 30 minutes. You always know what we do and why.

No treatment series, no obligations

You do not buy a package from us and you are not committed to anything. You will only return if it makes sense for your complaint. A follow-up treatment takes approximately 20 minutes.

  1. Reception At the counter we will check your ID and health insurance card and immediately check whether you are insured.
  2. Conversation You talk about your complaint: how long it has been going on, what you have done about it, what medications you use and when it bothers you most during the day.
  3. Examination from head to toe We examine your back, pelvis, hips and neck while standing, lying and sitting. You keep your shirt on; a headscarf may remain on.
  4. Heat scan With the Tytron heat scan we measure the skin temperature along your spine. You can see the result yourself on the screen.
  5. Explanation and permission We tell you what we have found, whether chiropractic suits you and what alternatives and risks there are. We will only start once you agree.
  6. First treatment During the same visit. Afterwards, some after-pain may occur; you often feel immediate relief.

Preparation

What are you taking with you?

  • ID

    An ID card or passport. We will check your identity on your first visit.

  • Healthcare card

    At the counter we will immediately check which insurer you are with and whether you have additional insurance.

  • Previous studies

    Any previous MRI, X-ray or other relevant reports.

  • No referral necessary

    You can contact us directly for an appointment.

Then

After your first visit

01

Napijn can

There may be some pain after treatment, just like after unusual exercise. You often feel immediate relief.

02

Exercises for home

If it helps to do something yourself, you will be given exercises that suit your complaint.

03

Only come back if it makes sense

If follow-up treatment is necessary, we will plan it together. A follow-up treatment takes approximately 20 minutes.

Safety

Safety and consent

Before we treat, we tell you what we have found, what we can do and what alternatives there are — for example physiotherapy or an orthopedist. We also mention the risks: after-pain and very rare complications. We will ask your permission separately for treatment high in the neck. Only when you understand and agree will we start.

Are you taking medications?

Are you taking blood thinners or other medications? Tell us in the conversation; we take that into account. And if it turns out that chiropractic care does not suit your complaint, we will tell you so and refer you.

Frequently asked questions

What you want to know before you come.

How long does the first visit take?

30 minutes: a conversation, examination from high in the neck to the feet, explanation of what we find and the first treatment.

Should I undress?

No. You keep your shirt on, and a headscarf may remain on.

Am I stuck with a treatment series?

No. We do not work with treatment series or packages. You will only return if it makes sense for your complaint.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can make an appointment directly, online or by telephone.
