The Effects of Stress on the Neck and Back
Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide with as many as 80% of Dutch people experiencing back pain at some point in their lives. Chiropractors are commonly sought out to help overcome the struggles that back and neck pain can bring about.
Neck pain is also becoming increasingly common due to the stress and demands on our body's in our everyday life. Sometimes the cause is a car accident (either mild or major), bumps and falls during sport or simply sleeping with the wrong sort of pillow. However, more often it is due to the accumulative effect of constant load our neck and shoulders are under due to forward head posture! Whether it's sitting at work or school, using our phones and devices, preparing food over the bench or caring for our young ones, these positions place significant pressure on our neck, which should not be sustained for extended periods of time.
We Don't Guess, We Test
Our thorough 5-step clinical process aims to identify the exact cause of your back and/or neck pain and identify if our signature care is appropriate for you. We use advanced technology like the INSiGHT scan, that measure and quantify how much stress and tension may be stuck in your nervous system as well as a neuro-structural postural examination to allow us to look deeper at the underlying cause of your pain or problem.
The information we gather at your Initial Consultation allows us to select the most effective technique and recommend you a personalised care plan (frequency and duration of adjustments) for you and your family. This way, we are ensuring we are delivering safe, accurate and results-driven chiropractic care that is personalised to your specific needs.
