Scoliosis
Scoliose is een scheefgroei van de wervelkolom die een zijdelingse verkromming geeft. Het is een afwijking die zich meestal op jonge leeftijd voordoet.

Scoliosis: Symptoms and Causes
De oorzaak van een scoliose kan liggen in afwijking van bot, zenuwen, spieren of bindweefsel, maar in 80% van de gevallen is de oorzaak onbekend. De medische wereld noemt dit ook wel een idiopathische scoliose. Dit is één van de redenen waarom screening van de ruggengraat bij schoolkinderen belangrijk is.
Een scoliose geeft op zich geen pijn, maar kan op termijn voor asymmetrische slijtage zorgen. Hoe eerder een scoliose bij kinderen wordt ontdekt en behandeld, des te beter. Op volwassen leeftijd is de scoliose blijvend, maar door behandeling wordt wel de spierspanning verminderd, het functioneren verbeterd en verdwijnen veel gerelateerde klachten.
Why Choose Chiropractic Treatment for Scoliosis?
Wanneer scoliose op vroege leeftijd wordt geconstateerd, kan de chiropractor dit nog goed behandelen. Daarom is het belangrijk om de rug van je kind te laten controleren door een chiropractor.
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?
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 pain is 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.
