You have been to several doctors, tried medication, but still feel pain. What then? “Then you often end up going to the chiropractor, while it should actually be the other way around,” says doctor Matthew Schaer, owner of Chiropractic The Hague & Chiropractic Oosterheem in Zoetermeer.
Chiropractic is one of the fastest growing alternative medicine worldwide. By (manual) correcting the spine, the chiropractor brings your body into the correct position. The idea behind chiropractor treatment is that your body can repair itself without surgery and medications. This is possible when communication between your brain and spine flows freely.
Matthew was educated in America and has had a practice in The Hague and Zoetermeer. “Chiropractic is booming and for a good reason!”
Underlying problem
This therapy is unique because it is safe and addresses the underlying problem. Matthew: “Many people think that treatment is painful, but it is usually gentle and subtle. Often just what you need to get rid of the pain for good and restore your mobility.”

American techniques and technologies
Doctor Matthew Schaer comes from America and is no stranger to the world of chiropractic. “In America, the discipline has been around for 125 years and is taken more seriously within regular healthcare than in the Netherlands. For a number of years now you have seen that it is also gaining popularity in the Netherlands.” Matthew provides international training in, among other things cranial facial release and is co-founder of several educational institutes.
He applies his advanced techniques and technologies in his practice. For example, his team uses the Myovison to scan your body in just a few minutes to see where nerves are pinched. “We see very quickly where the problem is.” During the cranial facial release, a balloon is inflated in your sinuses to create more relaxation and space. Wow!
Hot in the Netherlands
For several years now, chiropractic practices have been popping up like mushrooms in the Netherlands. “I think people are increasingly looking for more natural methods of healing, especially with the pandemic. Unfortunately, many people only come to us after they have already taken heavy medication and sometimes even undergone surgery. In my opinion it should be the other way around,” he says.

Not just for back pain
When you think of chiropractic, you probably think of back cracking. But did you know it can help with so much more? It restores mobility, stiffness, osteoarthritis, migraines and neck and shoulder pain. Cranial facial release therapy helps open the respiratory tract.
Forward head posture through your cell phone
Especially in this digital age, people suffer from all kinds of ailments caused by incorrect posture. “We see many people who develop ‘forward head posture’ by using their mobile phone and computer. The skull is no longer positioned straight above the spine, resulting in all kinds of symptoms such as fatigue, neck and back pain, blurred vision, dizziness, tinnitus and headache. We humans are not made to sit in front of a computer for hours.”

Improving sports performance
Did you know that many top athletes are also treated by chiropractors? Even if you do not have any immediate complaints, by paying attention to the health of your spine your body will function better. “Have your spine checked periodically, just like you would go to the dentist,” says Matthew. Famous athletes such as Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Andy Murray and Usain Bolt have previously talked about their successes with chiropractic care.
