Neck complaints are common. A general practitioner receives an average of 7 patients per week with neck complaints. About 80% of people will experience back and/or neck problems at some point during their lives. By far the largest type of neck complaints, approximately 90%, is called non-specific neck complaints as they have a non-specific cause.

Middle back complaints can be experienced as pain or stiffness, depending on the type of back complaints and how long you have had the complaint. By far the largest group of back complaints, about 90%, is called non-specific back complaints because they have a non-specific cause.

Back complaints can be experienced as pain or stiffness, depending on the type of back complaints and how long you have had the complaint. About 90% of back problems have a none specific cause. These complaints are, among other things, the result of overloading the joints, muscles and ligaments of the spine.

Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive approach to address pelvic complaints, including sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction. Movement restrictions in the pelvis or lumbar spine can result in imbalances and pain in the SI joint. Through specific treatments chiropractors can restore proper alignment and mobility to the SI joint and surrounding structures. Alongside manual adjustments, chiropractors often provide exercises and stretches tailored to strengthen the pelvic region and enhance stability. Many individuals with pelvic issues, such as SI joint dysfunction, experience significant relief and improved function after receiving chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care is a holistic approach that can provide relief for headache sufferers. Problems in the spine, especially in the cervical (neck) region, can lead to nerve irritation and muscle tension, often resulting in headaches. With a gentle treatment chiropractors can improve mobility of the vertebrae, reducing nerve interference and muscle strain. Additionally, chiropractic treatment often includes advice on posture, ergonomics, and exercises, which can further prevent headache triggers. Many patients find lasting relief from frequent headaches through consistent chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care can address knee complaints by recognizing interconnected musculoskeletal imbalances. Misalignments in the spine or pelvis can exacerbate knee pain. Chiropractors realign joints to distribute weight and movement evenly, alleviating knee stress. The treatment can also focus on the knee by improving the mobility or stability of the knee. They also recommend exercises to bolster knee-supporting muscles. This holistic approach often aids those with knee issues.

We use shoulders all day long. We use the shoulders when reaching for a plate from the top of the cupboard, pushing open a door, putting on a T-shirt, almost in every daily action. It is therefore not surprising that shoulder complaints limit us in our daily lives.

Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. These are well-known terms when we talk about elbow complaints. Even if you have never held a tennis racket, you can contract tennis elbow. Both terms refer to complaints caused by overload.

Long working days behind a computer, resting on the wrists for a long time. Wrist complaints are often the result of overload. Repeatedly making the same movement causes irritation in the joint and can therefore cause pain. For a good balance between effort and relaxation of the wrist, it is essential not to put too much strain on the wrist for a long time.

Walking, jumping, squatting and bending are movements in which the hip joint plays an important role. If the muscles around the hip do not work together properly, overload can occur in muscles that have to work too hard. But it is often difficult to feel where the cause of the pain lies. Complaints that can be felt up to the knee, or complaints in the left/right gluteal muscle, can arise from the lower back.

Jaw complaints are often a collective name for complaints that can be traced back to the jaw joint, the chewing muscles and related structures. This is also called temperomandibular dysfunction. The resulting complaints are usually caused by overload of the chewing muscles.

Ankle complaints can hinder us in daily life. They provide limited freedom of movement and a painful position. Due to the extra energy required, this can cause overload for muscles that have to compensate.
