Treating Intermittent claudication in Enschede
Tired, painful legs when walking that force you to stop.
Intermittent claudication causes pain or fatigue in the legs when walking, forcing you to stand still for a moment. After a rest you can carry on, until the complaint returns.
Similar complaints can also come from a narrowing in the back (spinal stenosis), where the nerves are compressed while walking. It matters to know where the complaint comes from.
How we help you with intermittent claudication
We examine whether your leg complaints are connected to the back and the nerves. If they are, we treat the back to reduce pressure on the nerves. If there is any doubt about the cause, we refer you on.
Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor help with intermittent claudication?
That depends on the cause, which is why we always start with a thorough examination. If your complaint turns out to be suitable for chiropractic care, we draw up a treatment plan that fits you. Many people experience relief, although results differ from person to person.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. You can book an appointment directly, without a referral from your GP.
Is the treatment reimbursed?
Chiropractic care is not part of the Dutch basic health insurance, but many insurers cover it under supplementary insurance. No deductible (eigen risico) applies. The pricing page explains how to submit your invoice.
How many treatments will I need?
That differs per person and per complaint. After the first examination we give you a realistic estimate and a plan, so you know where you stand.
