Low back pain is the most common complaint in our practice in Rotterdam and Dordrecht. In most people the pain is limited to a few days or weeks, but in some it becomes chronic. That's not necessary — early intervention prevents long-term complaints.
The cause often lies in a combination of mechanical blockages (in the spine or SI joint), weak core muscles and fear of movement. A hernia is only one of the causes; a lot of back pain occurs without anything serious showing up on a scan.
How we help you
We always start with an extensive intake. We then combine — depending on what suits — chiropractic manipulation, gentle techniques, prolotherapy or injection therapy. We do not work with treatment series and you are not committed to anything.
Our approach is medically substantiated and is supervised by BIG-registered doctors. No waiting lists — often found in Rotterdam or Dordrecht within a week.
Your recovery journey
Each process is tailor-made, but this is what a typical course looks like — from first intake to pain-free. You are not committed to anything and you always know where you stand.
Intake & first correction
History, physical examination and thermoscan. First chiropractic manipulation. Most patients leave the practice with noticeable improvement.
Tackling the acute phase
If necessary, follow-up treatment to calm muscle tension and inflammation. You will learn posture tips and can carefully remain active again.
Recovery & core control
We activate your deep core muscles with targeted exercises to prevent recurrence.
Pain-free
Complaints are gone. There is no need to come back; If you experience complaints again later, you are welcome.
Frequently asked questions
When should I go to the doctor instead of to you?
In case of fever, unwanted weight loss, sudden loss of strength in the leg, or incontinence. Those are red flags for more serious causes.
Is bed rest good for lower back pain?
No — international guidelines recommend staying active. Bed rest prolongs recovery.
Does heat or cold help?
Heat relaxes muscles in chronic pain. Cold (ice) for acute swelling for the first 48 hours.
Can I exercise with back pain?
Usually yes — choose low-shock activities such as swimming or cycling. Avoid heavy strength training until the pain subsides.
How many sessions are typically needed?
This varies per complaint and per person. We do not work with treatment series: after the examination you will hear what we expect, and you are not committed to anything.
