What chiropractic can do for you as an ambitious professional
Your work demands a lot from you. You’re constantly switched on and carrying significant responsibility. You want to give your best and keep growing, but you’re starting to feel how stress is impacting your health. Your sleep is getting worse, your focus slips more easily, and your energy is dropping. This is the perfect moment to visit a chiropractor. Chiropractic care brings your nervous system back into balance. This helps your body shift more easily between tension and relaxation. You become more resilient to stress, your sleep improves, and your productivity rises. With chiropractic care, you become the best version of yourself, allowing you to perform at a higher level in both your career and your life.
Chiropractic helps you heal from pain and discomfort
Chiropractic care doesn’t just help you manage stress. It also supports your recovery from pbaain and discomfort caused by your work. Long hours of sitting, heavy lifting and standing for extended periods all impact your body and overall wellbeing. Poor posture can lead to back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and headaches. These are issues that can improve with chiropractic care. Through gentle, specific adjustments, we release tension in your spine. Your posture improves, pressure is distributed more evenly through your body, and your nervous system functions more effectively. This helps your body heal from the inside out. It’s the ideal approach for anyone who wants to start the workday pain-free, energised, and performing at their best.
Stress
Stress is a normal part of life. Under healthy circumstances, the human body can handle stress very well. It keeps you alert and helps you act when something feels threatening. But when your body experiences stress for too long, it loses the ability to switch back into a state of relaxation. As chiropractors, we refer to this as sympathetic dominance. It means the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest) is not being properly activated in times of rest.
Stress symptoms
When stress leads to symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, loss of focus, sleep problems, tension in the neck and shoulders or digestive issues, it’s a clear sign that something needs to change. Your body can no longer move back into a parasympathetic state effectively. Chiropractic care helps restore that balance and supports your system in finding ease again.
Physical symptoms caused by stress
Stress-related physical symptoms arise when your nervous system is not properly regulated. You remain constantly switched on, and your neck and shoulders carry a lot of tension. This often leads to stress-related neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. These complaints rarely disappear on their own. When stress builds up, protective patterns appear in the spine, preventing the nervous system from functioning optimally. Chiropractic care helps release these patterns. As your posture improves, the tension in your body decreases. At the same time, your brain and body communicate more clearly again, making it easier to recover from the mental and physical effects of stress.
Physical effects of (chronic) stress on the body:
- Stomach discomfort or heartburn
- Headaches
- Digestive issues
- Gut issues
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Low back pain
- Stiff neck and shoulders
- Poor posture
- Jaw tension or clenching
Other stress related complaints:
- Difficulty concentrating
- More quickly irritated
- Shallow breathing patterns
- Light or restless sleep
- Unable to sleep
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Feeling tired or fatigued
- Infertility
Chiropractic care for stress-related problems
As chiropractors, we cannot remove the stress from your life, but we can help you handle it more effectively. Through chiropractic care, we support the regulation of your nervous system, allowing your body to shift with ease between the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) states. As your body begins to unwind, your sleep improves, you carry less tension, and your focus becomes clearer. You become more resilient to stress, which has a positive impact not only on your performance at work but also on your relationships with family and friends.
Chronic stress
When your body experiences stress for too long, it’s no longer able to fully relax properly. You remain constantly tense and struggle to recharge enough for your daily activities. We may refer to this as being chronically stressed or feeling overwhelmed.
Headaches and other symptoms of chronic stress
Headaches are a common complaint when you’re been under stress for long periods. Fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and irritability also frequently occur. These are signals from your body that something needs to change. If you continue in this state for too long, you risk developing a burnout.
Chiropractic care for chronic stress
When you’re chronically stressed, chiropractic care plays a helpful role in your recovery. Not because we offer a quick fix, but because we help your body find calm again. We support your nervous system in returning to balance, allowing signals between your brain and body to become clearer. Your nervous system becomes better able to shift into rest, and you begin to access the deep, restorative relaxation your body has been missing.
Burnout
When you’re experiencing burnout, you feel exhausted all the time. It can feel as though you’ve completely run out of fuel. Your body has been under such intense, prolonged stress that it eventually becomes numb to it, as if it can no longer respond in a healthy way.
Chiropractic care for burnout
Chiropractic care has become an increasingly popular choice for people recovering from burnout, as it supports the nervous system during a time of overload. We don’t offer a miracle cure, nor do we promise instant results. But we do offer something your body desperately needs: the ability to heal on a deeper level. Chiropractic care helps bring your nervous system back into balance. This improves the communication between your brain and body, allowing your system to finally shift back into rest instead of staying stuck in stress mode. As your body reconnects with its natural rhythms, you begin to heal from the inside out. Little by little, your energy, clarity and focus return, and your sense of joy in daily life begins to come back.
Fatigue
Everyone feels tired from time to time, but you shouldn’t feel easily fatigued or be experiencing extreme fatigue. When fatigue becomes ongoing, you may start to experience other symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, headaches, or brain fog. You may feel less alert and find it harder to make decisions. Over time, this affects your body, your work performance, and even your relationships.
Cause of fatigue and chronic tiredness
The root cause of ongoing fatigue is often a nervous system that can’t settle into rest. You may struggle to fall asleep, wake up frequently during the night, or feel tense throughout the day. It’s likely that your body has been experiencing too much stress for too long, keeping you in a constant state of alert. When the nervous system is out of balance, your body cannot recharge properly. You feel tired all the time or you may notice that your energy just isn’t what it used to be.
Chiropractic care for chronic fatigue and feeling tired or drained all the time
Chiropractic care helps you heal when you’re feeling drained, tired, or depleted. Step by step, you begin to feel less fatigued as your nervous system comes back into balance. Through specific adjustments, we release the tension in your spine that interferes with healthy nervous-system function. As communication between your brain and body improves, your system receives a clearer signal that it’s time to rest. Your sleep improves, your energy increases, and you regain clarity, focus, and joy, both at work and in your daily life.
Problems sleeping
Having difficulty sleeping can be incredibly frustrating. Sleep issues such as difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep have a major impact on your daily life and your performance at work. Often, these problems arise because the parasympathetic nervous system, the part responsible for rest and recovery, is not activating properly. Your body has become so used to stress that it no longer recognises when it’s time to relax. Chiropractic care offers meaningful support to those with bad sleep. By helping your nervous system regulate more naturally, your body can begin to heal on a deeper level. As this happens, sleep begins to improve, and you regain the energy you need to handle the demands of your work and your life.
Sitting for long periods
The Netherlands is one of the top countries in the world when it comes to long hours of sitting. On average, we sit more than 8.5 hours a day, including at home on the couch, and behind a computer at work. Of course, moving more and sitting less is ideal. But in many jobs, that’s easier said than done. And when you’re also sitting with poor posture, it’s only a matter of time before discomfort appears.
Causes of pain while sitting
Pain from sitting is often caused by poor posture. You may sit slouched or cross your legs, placing uneven pressure on your lower back, hips, and pelvis. This strain can eventually lead to pain. Improving your posture is often harder than it sounds. Over time, tension and protective patterns in your spine may have developed, causing your body to fall back into old habits again and again. To truly resolve the pain, it’s important to help heal these patterns with the help of a chiropractor. Chiropractic care restores healthier movement and alignment in the spine, making it easier for your body to sit in a posture that feels comfortable and supported.
Types of pain caused by long periods of sitting
- Buttock pain when sitting
- Back pain from poor sitting posture
- Lower back pain while sitting or standing up from sitting
- Hip pain when sitting
- Aching pain in the hip while sitting
- Tailbone pain when sitting (coccyx pain)
- Pain when standing up after sitting
- Painful sitting bones
- Sacrum pain when sitting
- Back pain from sitting too long
- Glute pain when sitting
Chiropractic care for sitting related complaints
Our chiropractic care aims to relieve sitting-related pain at its source. Through gentle, specific techniques, we release areas of tension in your spine that are affecting your posture. As your posture improves, you sit more comfortably and with better stability, allowing your body to recover from pain in the lower back, hips, tailbone, sit bones, sacrum and gluteal muscles.
Throwing out your back
It often seems like lifting something caused you to throw out your back, but that moment is usually just the final trigger. Your body had already been working hard to compensate for tension and reduced mobility. When your body can’t compensate any longer, even a simple movement can trigger symptoms.
Symptoms of throwing your back out
When you throw your back out, you typically feel sharp, intense pain in your lower back. Moving becomes difficult, and twisting is nearly impossible. Some people even find themselves walking bent forward because it feels like they can no longer straighten their back.
The underlying cause
What people call throwing out your back is rarely caused by one sudden movement. It happens when the spine has been carrying hidden tension for too long and the nervous system is overwhelmed by stress. In reality, that movement is usually just the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back.
Back pain after lifting
Back pain can appear suddenly after lifting something heavy, but it can also build gradually if you lift regularly for work. Improving your lifting technique is helpful, but it doesn’t address the root cause. What matters most is identifying and resolving the underlying tension and imbalance in the spine. With chiropractic care, your body becomes more adaptable, making lifting, also of heavy objects, far less likely to trigger back pain in the future.
Recovery time
When you slip your back, you naturally want to recover as quickly as possible. Light movement can help, but it’s often not enough on its own. You’re not only looking for relief right now, you also want to prevent this from happening again. Chiropractic care helps restore healthier movement and nervous-system function so your body can heal more effectively and reduce the chance of future episodes. How long it takes you to recover will depend on how long you have been out of balance.
Chiropractic treatment for throwing your back out
When treating a thrown-out back, it’s essential to address the underlying cause, not just the sudden pain. As specialists in the spine and nervous system, chiropractors are uniquely trained to do this. Through gentle, precise adjustments, we release the tension in your spine that has been building up over time. As your spine moves more freely, your posture improves and your body becomes stronger and more adaptable. This helps you handle physical demands such as lifting or standing for long periods without your system becoming overwhelmed again.
Back pain from standing for long periods
For people who stand for long hours at work, back pain is a common complaint. Prolonged standing can place a lot of pressure on the lower back and hips. And when your posture isn’t well supported, standing for long periods can easily lead to discomfort like (lower) back pain. Trying to force yourself into a better posture rarely works. This isn’t about willpower, it’s because your spine is holding tension patterns that keep your body returning to the same habits. To break these patterns, it’s important to release the tension in your spine with the help of a chiropractor. As the tension eases, your posture improves naturally and your body becomes more supported. This allows you to recover from lower-back pain while standing and move through your day with greater ease and comfort.
Poor posture
Poor posture is more common than you might think. Most people spend long days at work sitting or standing in the same position. Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to slip into a posture that isn’t supportive. Over time, this creates uneven pressure throughout your body. Eventually, this imbalance leads to discomfort and pain.
What poor posture can lead to
- Upper back tension or stiffness
- Shoulder blade tension or stiffness
- SI joint restriction
- Poor sleep posture
- Back pain
- Neck tension and neck pain
- Shoulder tension and shoulder pain

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.
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.

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.

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.

In addition to the high level of professional care, Daniel and the team always make me feel welcome. I definitely recommend Solar Chiropractic!”
“I first went to the chiropractor for poor posture, muscle discomfort, and trouble sleeping. From the first session we set goals for both physical health and overall quality of life. After six months, all my pain is gone, I’m more flexible, and my energy is higher. I’m grateful to be part of this caring community. Daniel and Tory are excellent professionals, I highly recommend them.”
“I can wholeheartedly recommend this chiropractic practice. The treatment from the entire team is excellent. I’ve had several sessions now and it has helped me tremendously in improving my neck, mobility, and pain. It’s absolutely worth recommending and a very professional centre. Thank you so much for all the help you’ve given me! ✌️✨”
“I started seeing Daniel after sudden, severe lower back pain left me unable to move. From the start, he took a holistic approach and created a clear recovery plan. Thanks to Daniel and his team, I feel much better physically and mentally. Their care, kindness, and support have truly changed my daily life. I wholeheartedly recommend Solar.”
“I came to Solar with an intense pain in my neck and experienced relief from my first adjustment. However, since sticking with the treatment I’ve also seen an overall improvement in my health and quality of life. Daniel is friendly and professional and it’s always nice to be greeted by Bella, the lovely receptionist. I look forward to seeing how chriopractic care will effect my health going forward!”
“I first came to Solar because of shoulder pain radiating down my arm and hand. I’ve now been coming weekly for 1.5 years and the pain is gone. I feel lighter, more aligned, and peaceful after every visit. Solar has improved my posture, digestion, and body awareness. Daniel truly cares and loves what he does. If you care about your health, Solar is the place to be.”
“Daniel helped me reduce the pain and stress on my body. After visiting him regularly on a weekly basis I realised significant changes in my sleep and breathing which helped my recovery from sports. Thanks Daniel!”
“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.”

“Because of a heart rhythm disorder, I come to Daniel, and it has been an absolute blessing. No medication, weekly treatments, and learning to really listen to my body and act on it (and yes, that can be challenging at times). The sense of safety I feel and the love I receive during treatment are heartwarming and healing. I haven’t had an episode for several weeks now.”
“I arrived barely able to stand or walk and feeling worried. Daniel reassured me, and after the first adjustments I began to improve. With each session I felt better and more energised. The care helped me feel comfortable in my body again. The Solar team is warm and welcoming. Finding Solar was one of the best things that happened to me in Amsterdam. Highly recommended!”
