Frequently asked questions

During your appointment, the chiropractor performs gentle, precise adjustments (small corrections in the alignment of your spine). This restores proper function in your spine and nervous system. Some people hear a cracking or popping sound, which is simply gas releasing within the joint fluid. What we are really doing is releasing subluxations (tension in your spine) to remove interference in your nervous system. This allows your brain to communicate optimally with your body, supporting you to heal naturally, from within.

As chiropractors, we don’t often refer to what we do as a treatment, but rather an adjustment. The word treatment suggests that something is wrong with you, but you are not broken. Pain is a natural signal from your body. With the help of chiropractic adjustments, your body can return to balance and heal itself.

No, it doesn’t. Instead of talking about a treatment, we talk about adjustments, which are precise, intentional corrections that help your body reconnect and function better. A chiropractic adjustment is generally not painful. You may feel some temporary discomfort if your body is already sensitive, especially in certain positions, but the adjustment itself doesn’t hurt.

Yes, our team includes both male and female chiropractors.

No, you don’t need a referral. You can book an appointment directly at Solar Chiropractic without a referral.

You can wear whatever you feel most comfortable in, and most people come in everyday clothing. As long as you can easily move, it’s perfectly fine.

Your first visit is all about understanding you and how your body functions. We begin with a holistic health questionnaire, followed by a physical examination, posture scans, and a conversation about your current challenges and health goals. This helps us see what your body needs to heal and function at its best. If we determine that we can help you, you’ll receive a gentle chiropractic adjustment tailored to your body’s needs.

Healing is a personal journey, and every body responds differently. Your symptoms, lifestyle, stress levels and overall vitality all influence how quickly you recover. After your first visit, we design a care plan specifically for you, giving you a realistic picture of what your healing process will look like.

That sound is called a cavitation. It happens when a small gas bubble forms and releases within the fluid of a joint. It can be surprising the first time you hear it, but it’s completely harmless and doesn’t cause any pain.

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and suitable for all ages. We tailor every adjustment to the person we’re working with, ensuring it feels comfortable and appropriate for their body. This way, everyone can benefit from the healing effects of chiropractic care.

Please always do your best to arrive on time for your appointments. We will give you a moment for your body to relax while lying on the table so you are prepared for your adjustment. For review appointments, please arrive 5 minutes early. This will also help us stay on time for everyone else after you.

If you are too late for your first appointment, it is likely that we will need to reschedule your visit. A first appointment at Solar Chiropractic is more than just an adjustment. It includes important intake steps, a thorough assessment, and time for us to fully understand your health history, goals, and current state of your nervous system. We intentionally choose not to rush through a first appointment or shorten it, as doing so could compromise the safety or overall quality of your care. By arriving on time, you help us create a calm and focused experience for you, while also allowing us to stay on time for other clients who have scheduled their care after you.

Yes, you can cancel or reschedule your appointment by contacting our front desk. For first appointments, we reserve the time especially for you, so we kindly ask that you choose a time you’re confident you can attend. If you do need to cancel or reschedule, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance, so we can offer the spot to someone else who may need care.

You pay for each appointment in person at the practice. We only accept Dutch PIN cards on our machine.

No, we don’t submit invoices to insurers on your behalf. You simply pay at the practice, and we’ll give you the invoice so you can easily claim your reimbursement.

Yes, your children are absolutely welcome to join you. Our practice is family-friendly and designed to make everyone feel at ease. And did you know that chiropractic care is also beneficial for children? If you like, you can even book a family appointment so your little ones can benefit from adjustments as well.

Yes, more than 250 clients have shared their experiences on Google, reporting less pain, more energy, greater mobility, improved sleep, better digestion, fewer injuries, and enhanced overall well-being.

Chiropractic care creates lasting changes: less pain, more freedom of movement, improved strength, and better overall health. The speed of your recovery depends on your lifestyle and how long your body has been out of balance. Chiropractic doesn’t just cover up symptoms, it helps your body heal from within. The better you support your mind and body, the faster you’ll experience results. Our chiropractors are here to guide and support you with lifestyle changes every step of the way.

If you value your health and want to feel fit, energetic, and pain-free, chiropractic care is a good choice for you. Beyond relieving discomfort, chiropractic helps optimise your overall health. Restoring proper spinal and nervous system function leads to less stress, better sleep, improved digestion, enhanced fertility, and greater performance in daily life and sports.

Chiropractic focuses on the root cause of health issues, not just the symptoms. If your challenges have built up over months or years, it’s unrealistic to expect a permanent solution in just one or two sessions. Even if pain appeared only recently, your body has likely been out of balance for a while. If you’re looking only for a quick fix, chiropractic might not be the right fit. But if you want lasting health and true transformation, we’re here for you.

Yes, chiropractic care is very safe when performed by a qualified chiropractor. At Solar, every adjustment is delivered with precision, presence, and respect for your body’s natural rhythms. We don’t force or manipulate, we work with your body to help it find balance again. Research shows that chiropractic care is among the safest forms of healthcare available, and is far safer than common medications like ibuprofen. Our approach is gentle, specific, and focused on restoring proper function to your spine and nervous system. Most people experience chiropractic as deeply relaxing and even restorative, a way to reconnect with their body and support its innate capacity to heal and thrive.
