What makes us different from a single chiropractic practice: chiropractors, physiotherapists and exercise therapists work together under one roof.

MoveWell, the chiropractor in Hilversum since 2015
What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health care profession focused on the spine, the joints and the nervous system. Chiropractors complete a five year university degree and, in the Netherlands, are listed in the SCN or SNRC register and organised in the Dutch Chiropractors Association (NCA) or the Dutch Chiropractic Federation (DCF).
The chiropractor works mainly by hand: with light, precise adjustments a joint that is stuck regains its movement. We also use specialised tables, muscle techniques and exercises, so that we treat the cause and not only the pain.
Which complaints does the chiropractor treat?
Back and neck pain
Low back pain, lumbago, a stiff neck, pain between the shoulder blades and pain radiating into an arm or leg are the most common reasons to visit our chiropractor in Hilversum. For herniated discs and sciatica we can combine chiropractic with decompression therapy.
Joints, muscles and sport injuries
Shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee or ankle: the chiropractor treats the whole musculoskeletal system. Because MoveWell also has physiotherapy in house, we choose per complaint the practitioner who gets you better fastest.
Headaches and dizziness
Headaches and dizziness often come from the neck. The chiropractor examines whether the upper neck joints move freely and treats the restriction. Many patients notice after a few treatments that the headaches return less often.
What happens at your first visit?
The first consultation starts with a thorough conversation and a physical examination: posture, movement of the spine and joints, muscle strength, reflexes and sensation. The chiropractor then explains the findings and proposes a treatment plan: the cause, what we will do and how many visits we expect. If chiropractic is not the right choice, we tell you. In most cases treatment starts at the first visit. Bring comfortable clothing and any MRI or X ray reports you have.
Chiropractic treatment at MoveWell
Light and precise techniques
The chiropractor restores the movement of the spine with light, targeted adjustments. Treatment is rarely painful; the click you sometimes hear is gas releasing from the joint.
Mobilisation and traction tables
Our treatment tables move with you. That allows the chiropractor to mobilise a joint gently and without force, also for older patients, pregnant women and people with osteoporosis.
For herniated discs and radiating pain we have a dedicated decompression table.
Muscle techniques and exercises
Besides the joints we treat the muscles and give you exercises, so the result lasts. If you want to keep moving afterwards, MoveWell offers back training, rehabilitation and medical fitness with the EGYM circle.

Frequently asked questions about our chiropractor in Hilversum
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in the Netherlands?
No. Chiropractors are directly accessible. You can book an appointment without a referral from your GP. If you have a referral letter or a scan report, bring it with you.
Is chiropractic care covered by Dutch health insurance?
Usually yes, from the supplementary (aanvullende) insurance, not from the basic package. How much is reimbursed depends on your package; often it is an amount per day or per year. The deductible (eigen risico) does not apply. You pay at the desk and claim the invoice with your insurer.
What does a chiropractic treatment cost at MoveWell?
The current rates for the first consultation and follow up treatments are on our rates and reimbursement page (in Dutch). Call us if you would like the rates explained in English.
Do your chiropractors speak English?
Yes. All our chiropractors and most of our team speak English, and several have trained abroad. Many of our patients are expats working in Hilversum and the surrounding region.
What is the difference between a chiropractor and a physiotherapist?
A chiropractor specialises in the spine and restores joint movement with adjustments. A physiotherapist focuses on muscles, exercise therapy and rehabilitation. At MoveWell both work together: a course of treatment often starts with the chiropractor and is completed with exercises at the physiotherapist.
How soon can I get an appointment?
For acute complaints usually within 24 hours. Book online via appointments or call 035 760 06 45. We are open Monday to Thursday from 08:00 to 21:00 and Friday from 08:00 to 17:00.
