What is lower back pain?
Lower back pain is felt in the lower part of your spine, in the area between your tailbone and your ribs. Sometimes the pain radiates into the hips, pelvis, or buttocks. Lower back pain often makes it harder to move freely. Sitting or standing for long periods can be uncomfortable, and bending or lifting may become difficult. These complaints can have a major impact on your daily life. You may exercise less or even completely stop, and your sleep can be disturbed. As a result, you feel less energetic and less active during the day.
You can find more information about specific types of low back pain on the following pages:
What is chronic low back pain?
Low back pain is called chronic when it lasts for at least three months or keeps coming back. This usually happens when only the symptoms are managed, while the real cause remains unresolved. Because the underlying issue is still there, the pain often returns. At Solar Chiropractic, we don’t just chase symptoms. We focus on correcting the root cause of your low back pain, so it doesn’t become a long-term problem that keeps holding you back in daily life.
Causes of lower back problems
There can be many different causes of lower back problems. Sometimes it follows an accident, heavy strain, or poor posture. Poor posture is something we often see in people who spend long hours sitting behind a desk. Sometimes, the cause isn’t always so easy to identify. Emotional stress, for example, is a major factor we see in many clients. When stress builds up in the body, it keeps your system in a constant state of tension and reduces its natural ability to heal itself. Lower back pain is often a signal from your body that something deeper needs attention. By addressing the root cause through chiropractic care, you give your body the chance to recover, so your pain not only improves, but stays away for good.
Symptoms of low back pain
Low back pain is usually easy to recognise. Most people feel a dull, nagging ache in their lower back. At times this can be joined by sharp, stabbing pain that may even spread into the legs. When that happens, it can also cause tingling or numbness in the legs.
Lower back examination and treating the cause
When you come to our practice, we always start with a lower back examination to find out what’s really causing the pain. We’ll look at the different factors that may be playing a role. This includes a physical examination, a holistic health questionnaire, and a posture analysis. This helps us understand the best way to support your healing.
In your sessions, we use gentle chiropractic adjustments to release tension in your spine. This helps your brain communicate more effectively with your body, which can make a significant difference not just now, but also in the years to come.
Treatment for chronic, nonspecific low back pain
The approach we take for chronic, nonspecific low back pain is similar to how we treat other types of back pain. We start by examining your back pain and creating a personalised care plan. Through chiropractic adjustments, we restore the function of your spine and nervous system. Chronic low back pain has usually been present for a long time, which means your body needs time to heal and adjust to new, healthier movement patterns. After your first visit, we’ll give you a realistic idea of what your care plan will look like. Our care for the low back is also suitable for conditions such as arthritis, spinal degeneration, and herniated discs. Click on the condition to learn more about these specific low back treatments.
The results you can expect from our lower backpain treatment
The results of our lower backpain treatment vary from person to person. Most people notice improvement quickly after their first few visits. They begin to move more freely and gradually return to their normal daily activities. But for us, treatment doesn’t stop there. Our goal is to help you resolve your low back pain for good. How long this takes depends on several factors, such as how long you’ve been experiencing discomfort and your overall lifestyle and health. After your initial examination, we’ll create a personalised care plan and guide you step by step through your recovery process for your low back pain.
More than just lower back pain relief
Chiropractic care is about much more than simply lower back pain relief. Our focus is on addressing the root cause of your back problems. We don’t offer quick fixes or temporary band-aids, we work toward a real solution, so your back pain can disappear and hopefully never return.
Our clients’ experiences show that our approach goes far beyond reducing pain. By restoring the function of your spine and nervous system, your body can do what it’s designed to do: heal itself. As a result, your overall health improves, and you feel better in your body every day.
When should you see a chiropractor for low back pain?
If you’re struggling with low back pain, a chiropractor is the right professional to help. Chiropractors are specially trained to find and ease areas of tension in your spine. By restoring better movement and balance, we help your brain and body work together the way they’re meant to. This not only eases pain in your low back, but also supports your overall health and well-being.
Physiotherapy for low back pain, or chiropractic care?
It’s up to you to choose what feels like the right fit: physiotherapy treatment for your lower back pain or chiropractic care. Physiotherapists have a lot of experience with the lower back and mainly focus on muscles, joints, and movement patterns. This can be very effective, especially if your low back pain is the result of an injury or if you need exercises to rebuild strength, flexibility, and stability.
Chiropractic care goes a step further. In addition to focusing on muscles and joints, chiropractors look at the function of your spine and nervous system as a whole. By improving this connection, your body can heal more fully, prevent future issues, and perform at its best. That way, chiropractic not only helps relieve your low back pain but also strengthens your overall health and well-being.

Frequently asked questions
Most people start noticing improvements in their low back pain after just a few visits. The total number of sessions needed varies from person to person. In general, the longer you’ve been dealing with back pain, the more care your body will need. That’s why it’s best to book an appointment with a chiropractor as soon as possible. During your first visit, we’ll examine your back pain and create a personalised care plan. This will give you a clear idea of how many sessions to expect.
No, chiropractic care for low back pain does not hurt. You may feel some temporary discomfort if your body is already sensitive, especially in certain positions, but the adjustment itself doesn’t hurt.
Yes, we also care for arthritis in the lower back. While we can’t remove the arthritis itself, chiropractic care helps strengthen your spine and reduce pressure on the affected areas. This often leads to less pain and greater freedom of movement.
Yes, we also provide care for herniated discs in the lower back. Our approach focuses on relieving pressure in your spine and improving the function of your nervous system. This creates the right conditions for your disc to heal, leading to improved strength and lasting relief from your symptoms.
Yes, we do. While degeneration (also called arthritis) can’t be reversed, chiropractic care can help your spine move better and take pressure off the affected areas. This often means less pain, more freedom of movement, and a better quality of life. You can read more about our approach on the arthritis page.
No, you don’t need a referral. You can book an appointment directly at Solar Chiropractic without a referral.
Most insurers reimburse chiropractic care under complementary or alternative care in the extras insurance package (aanvullende verzekering). Check your policy to see what your coverage includes, or click here to view the coverage of your insurance company.

During your first appointment, we take the time to understand your health concerns and create a personalised care plan. This initial visit usually lasts around 30-45 minutes. Once we know what your body needs, the follow-up visits are shorter and more focused. You’ll first have a moment to relax on the table before the chiropractor begins the adjustments. These adjustments give your body exactly what it needs to support the self-healing process. So even though each session only lasts at most about 10 minutes, the healing process continues long after you leave the practice.

What to expect
Your first visit
We’ll take the time to get to know you and explore how we can best support your health and healing. This comprehensive consultation includes a holistic health questionnaire, physical examination, posture scans, and a personal conversation about your health goals. If we determine that we can help you, you’ll receive a gentle chiropractic adjustment tailored to your body’s needs.
Intensive phase
In this stage, we focus on restoring balance in your spine and nervous system through precise, effective adjustments. The sessions are short yet powerful. Repetition is key as it helps teach your brain new, healthier neurological patterns. During this phase, we usually see you twice per week.
Stabilisation phase
Your body begins to adapt to its new balance. Muscles, discs, ligaments, and connective tissues get the chance to heal and strengthen. This will help prevent your body from slipping back into old, protective patterns. To support this process, adjustments are usually scheduled once per week.
Wellness care
We continue to support your health for as long as you feel it is best serving you. Just like eating well, moving your body, and giving yourself time to rest, regular chiropractic care is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Together, we’ll decide the rhythm that works best for you and your goals.
Even more insurers reimburse chiropractic care through their supplementary insurance. Want to know what your insurer covers? Check your insurer’s coverage.

Amsterdam loves our chiropractic practice
“After years of lower back pain, a friend recommended Solar. I had my first appointment over five years ago and have been nearly pain-free since, with less neck and shoulder pain too. Daniel encourages regular movement and better posture, which has made me much more mindful during long workdays. I’m very happy with the practice and always look forward to my monthly adjustments.”
“Daniel is a highly skilled and experienced chiropractor. After back pain from a sporting injury, I saw him on my physio’s recommendation. The pain eased significantly after the first session and is now gone. His professionalism and genuine care keep me coming back. Highly recommended if you’re in any discomfort!”
“I was helped very well by Daniel. When exercising, I often had issues with my calves and hamstrings due to tension in my lower back. After the first session, where my lower back was realigned, I immediately noticed a huge improvement. I now come in about once every two months for treatment. Daniel is very friendly and highly professional.”
“Very capable and reliable chiropractors, and always a warm welcome when you walk in! My back and shoulder pain have reduced significantly, and my body feels much more flexible and stronger.”
“I’ve had headaches my whole life and occasional migraines, along with neck and back pain from my full-time office job. Dr. Daniel showed me that chiropractic care is a great alternative to excessive paracetamol use. I’ve been excellently supported from the start, my complaints have reduced significantly, and I now use far less medication.”
“I first visited Solar Chiropractic in 2019 and appreciated the friendly, thorough first appointment and posture advice. After returning years later with a stiff lower back, one adjustment brought immediate relief. I felt truly taken care of again. Highly recommended 👌”

“So my back’s a real mess and I’ll always have some pain. Thank goodness for Dan, though. I always leave with much more mobility and a massive reduction in pain. Great chiro with an awesome bedside manner and a super friendly team at reception!”
“Excellent care and guidance. I’ve been coming to Solar Chiropractic for years and am extremely satisfied every time with the care I receive. Daniel always takes plenty of time to help me with my back complaints and migraines.
I definitely recommend Solar Chiropractic!”
“I came to Solar Chiropractic with a disc herniation, feeling hopeless and in pain after months of being misdiagnosed. At Solar I finally felt heard and truly cared for. Their holistic approach made all the difference. Both Daniels and the whole team are professional, kind, and welcoming. The space feels calm and uplifting, a true ray of sunshine. Thank you!”
“I have chronic lower back issues due to a lot of office work. When I could barely walk anymore (and I’m only 30+), I chose chiropractic care and it works extremely well. When I stop, I notice things get worse again (unfortunately). I’m very satisfied. Everything around the care is well organised, which makes it easy for me to come in every month and keep the pain away.”
