Neck complaints: complaints and causes
Apart from nagging or stabbing pain and stiffness, neck pain can manifest itself in many other ways. For example, you may experience headaches, dizziness or tinnitus. You may also experience difficulty concentrating, tension in your shoulders or a powerless feeling in your arms. Or tingling in your hands or fingers.
Neck pain can have several causes and can occur both gradually and suddenly. The most common causes are:
A fall or accident, which can result in whiplash symptoms
Tension and stress
Cramping of muscles due to incorrect movement
Little variety in your posture (e.g. work behind a screen)
Incorrect or one-sided loading (e.g. carrying a bag over one shoulder)
Ageing of your cartilage (osteoarthritis, wear or degeneration)
Cold and draughts
Wrong sleeping position

Why chiropractic care for neck complaints?
An incredible number of nerves run through the neck, including to the arms and head. A movement disorder in the neck can lead to irritation of these nerves and result in various complaints.
The chiropractor specialises in treating blockages in the spine and nervous system. This removes the irritation to the nerve, allowing it to recover and will reduce the symptoms.

What do our patients say?
I have been coming to praktijk Chiropractie Stegeman for years. My neck is a weak spot and often I wait too long and hope it will go away on its own. The last time, I had really put it off too long. In the meantime, my neck was bothering me a lot and I could hardly imagine that it would be all right. But Kai’s skill and experience ensured that my neck pain disappeared again. What I also like is the personal attention and I can definitely recommend Praktijk Chiropractie Stegeman.

Kai is a hugely experienced and compassionate chiropractor. I have tried physiotherapy for years, but the most effective treatment is the one performed by Kai. I would recommend it to anyone, I myself went during pregnancy . This was my salvation and as a result, my pelvic instability and lower back problems have been relieved.
And if you take magnesium (also available to buy from the practice) in addition to this, you will also sleep well 🙂
Naaz, 30 years
I came to Kai Holm of Chiropractie Stegeman via via because I had been suffering from my lower back/pelvis for a year. Until then, things like massage and exercises did not help much. After the treatments, I am now happily rid of those complaints!
Kai is knowledgeable and friendly. The practice is very clean and professional and things like making appointments and invoicing are well organised. All in all, very satisfied.
Reinier, 39 years
I have been under treatment at Chiropractie Stegeman for over 20 years, the last 16 of which with Kai Holm.
First my complaints were remedied and now the treatment is mainly preventive. I have virtually no pain in my back any more and no headaches either.
Kai is knowledgeable, listens well and also pays attention to me personally. Highly recommended.
Henriëtte, 72 years
I have always been well served by Kai. Together, we went through the treatment plan. After the complaints were resolved, I now keep coming back once every 2 months for maintenance and my back remains stable. She also always takes the time for a personal chat. Very pleasant!
Leontien, 46 years
After years of suffering from my back, Kai has made sure it is a lot better. It will always be a weak spot, but it is now easy to live with. The beauty of chiropractic treatment is that it precisely targets the painful areas, allowing your body to repair itself.
Anneke, 65 years
I had to wait a year for hip surgery. My back got tough during the wait. Kai Holm managed to keep me upright with good treatments, making the year doable in terms of pain and being able to walk.
My back is my weak spot. When the pain strikes again, I only need one or a few treatments and I am walking again. Friendly staff and very worthwhile for any complaints!
Katja, 66 years
The effects of Corona (moving less and sitting a lot at the computer) also caused me various physical complaints. I went to Chiropractie Stegeman on recommendation and have not regretted it. I find a high level of expertise, reliability and friendliness here.
It is also nice that I can describe my concerns in my native language, German. All in all, I feel in very good hands with Ms Holm!

What does a treatment programme look like?
When you come to your first appointment, it is important that the chiropractor first gets a good picture of you and your symptoms. So during your first appointment, we take the time to discuss your history and personal situation. Afterwards, the chiropractor will do a physical examination. The chiropractor has now gathered enough information to draw up a treatment plan. In many cases you will also be treated during the first appointment. During follow-up sessions, we always take the time to evaluate how you are doing and tailor our treatment to the situation. For instance, we often complement the chiropractic corrections with trigger point therapy, traction, massage, advice or at-home exercises.
PHASE 1: CORRECTIVE
During the corrective phase, the chiropractor makes most of the corrections. This restores the freedom of movement of your spine. This triggers the healing process. With this, you soon move better and the pain decreases.
PHASE 2: STABILISING
In the stabilising phase, the chiropractor optimises the function of your spine and the adaptability of your nervous system. In addition, your muscles are given a chance to recover.
PHASE 3: PREVENTION
In the maintenance and prevention phase, we monitor your recovered body. In this phase, maximum improvement has been achieved. By doing regular preventive check-ups, you prevent complaints from coming back.
