Headache
Spanningshoofdpijn, migraine, aangezichtspijn, er zijn veel verschillende vormen van hoofdpijn. En het komt ook veel voor; één op de tien volwassenen heeft bijvoorbeeld migraine.
Hoofdpijn ontstaat door veranderingen in de diameter van de bloedvaten in je hoofd, maar ook beweeglijkheid van je nekwervels en prikkeling van je zenuwen spelen mee. Chiropractie kan helpen de oorzaak te achterhalen én de pijn te verlichten.

Headaches: Symptoms and Causes
Hoofdpijn uit zich op verschillende manieren. De meest voorkomende vorm van hoofdpijn is spanningshoofdpijn. Deze vorm wordt veroorzaakt door bijvoorbeeld stress, vermoeidheid of een verkeerde houding. De pijn kan ook veroorzaakt worden door een verkeerde beweging van de wervels in je rug en nek.
Over migraine is bekend dat het een neurologische aandoening is en wat er precies in je hersenen gebeurt, maar men weet nog steeds niet wat de exacte aanleiding van migraine is. Tijdens een migraineaanval vindt er een kettingreactie plaats over de hersenschors. Hierdoor vernauwen en vervolgens verwijden de bloedvaten in je hersenen waardoor je hevige hoofdpijn ervaart.
Why Choose Chiropractic Treatment for Headaches?
Vaak wordt hoofdpijn veroorzaakt door spierspanning of een overbelasting in je nek. Hierdoor kunnen wervels geblokkeerd en de omliggende zenuwen geïrriteerd raken. Ook in het geval van migraine kunnen wervelblokkades in de nek en bovenrug de oorzaak zijn dat het zenuwstelsel overprikkeld raakt.
De chiropractor is gespecialiseerd in het behandelen van blokkades in de wervelkolom en het zenuwstelsel. Hierdoor wordt de irritatie aan de zenuw weggenomen, zodat die zich kan herstellen en de klachten zullen verminderen.
What do our patients say?
After being hit by a car while riding my bike, I suffered multiple facial fractures and a severe concussion. Once I had healed somewhat, an all-consuming headache remained. After several treatments and a lot of painkillers, I ended up seeing chiropractor Twigt, and even though I had almost given up hope, after my first session with Mariët my headaches were already so much better—it really was a world of difference. I’ve now been undergoing intensive treatment for 2.5 weeks, and I’m starting to feel like myself again; I can finally get back to my life, mostly without headaches. The headaches really disrupted my normal life.
Next week, I’ll be able to cautiously start working again, and I can resume my daily activities at home and socially. The treatments will now take place less frequently, and I’m very hopeful that the headaches will stay away and that my recovery following the accident can now continue.
Roos, 43 years old
I’ve been going to Stegeman Chiropractic for years. My neck is a weak spot, and I often wait too long, hoping it will go away on its own. The last time, I really put it off for too long. By then, my neck was causing me a lot of pain, and I could hardly imagine it would ever get better. But Kai’s skill and experience have made sure my neck problems are gone again. I also really appreciate the personal attention, and I can definitely recommend Stegeman Chiropractic.

Kai is a highly experienced and proactive chiropractor. I tried physical therapy for years, but the most effective treatment has been the one provided by Kai. I would recommend him to anyone; I even went to see him during my pregnancy. He was a lifesaver, and thanks to him, my pelvic instability and lower back problems have been resolved.
And if you take magnesium (also available at the clinic) along with this, you’ll sleep even better 🙂
Naaz, 30 years old
I ended up seeing Kai Holm at Chiropractie Stegeman through a friend of a friend because I had been experiencing lower back and pelvic pain for a year. Up until then, things like massage and exercises hadn’t helped much. After the treatments, I’m happy to say those symptoms are gone!
Kai is knowledgeable and friendly. The practice is very neat and professional, and matters such as scheduling appointments and billing are well organized. All in all, I’m very satisfied.
Reinier, 39 years old
I have been a patient at Chiropractie Stegeman for over 20 years, the last 16 of which have been with Kai Holm.
At first, my symptoms were treated, and now the treatment is mainly preventive. I have virtually no back pain anymore, and no headaches either.
Kai is knowledgeable, a good listener, and also pays attention to me as a person. Highly recommended.
Henriëtte, 72 years old
Kai has always helped me out. Together, we went over the treatment plan. Now that the symptoms have been resolved, I continue to come back every two months for maintenance, and my back remains stable. She always takes the time to have a personal chat. That’s great!
Leontien, 46 years old
After years of back pain, Kai has helped me feel a lot better. It will probably always be a weak spot, but it’s something I can live with now. The beauty of chiropractic care is that the treatment is precisely targeted at the painful areas, allowing your body to heal itself.
Anneke, 65 years old
I had to wait a year for hip surgery. My back really took a beating while I was waiting. Kai Holm managed to keep me going with his excellent treatments, which made the year bearable in terms of pain and my ability to walk.
My back is my weak spot. When the pain strikes again, I’ll only need one or a few treatments, and then I’ll be back on my feet. Friendly staff and definitely worth a visit for any health issues!
Katja, 66 years old
The effects of the coronavirus (less exercise and spending a lot of time sitting at the computer) have also caused me to experience various physical symptoms. I went to Stegeman Chiropractic on a recommendation, and I haven’t regretted it. I find a high level of expertise, reliability, and friendliness here.
It’s also nice that I can express my concerns in my native language, German. All in all, I feel I’m in very good hands with Ms. Holm!

What does a treatment plan look like?
Als je voor het eerst in de chiropractiepraktijk komt is het belangrijk dat de chiropractor allereerst een goed beeld krijgt van jou en je klachten. Tijdens je eerste afspraak wordt dus rustig jouw voorgeschiedenis en persoonlijke situatie besproken. Aansluitend zal de chiropractor een lichamelijk onderzoek doen. De chiropractor heeft nu voldoende informatie verzameld om een behandelplan op te stellen. In veel gevallen word je tijdens de eerste afspraak ook al behandeld.
Tijdens de vervolgsessies nemen we steeds de tijd om te evalueren hoe het met je gaat en onze behandeling af te stemmen op de situatie. Zo vullen wij de chiropractische correcties vaak aan met trigger point therapie, tractie, massage, advies of het meegeven van oefeningen.
FASE 1: CORRIGEREN
Tijdens de correctieve fase doet de chiropractor de meeste correcties. Hierdoor herstelt de bewegingsvrijheid van je wervelkolom. Dit brengt het genezingsproces op gang. Hiermee beweeg je al snel beter en neemt de pijn af.
FASE 2: STABILISEREN
In de stabiliserende fase optimaliseert de chiropractor de functie van je wervelkolom en het aanpassingsvermogen van je zenuwstelsel. Daarnaast krijgen je spieren de kans om zich te herstellen.
FASE 3: VOORKOMEN
In de onderhouds- en preventiefase houden we je herstelde lichaam in de gaten. In deze fase is de maximale verbetering bereikt. Door regelmatig een preventieve controle te doen voorkom je dat klachten terugkomen.
