Appointment & consultation

During the first consultation, you will go through the completed questionnaire. The osteopath will ask additional questions to be able to form a complete image of you and your complaint. This is followed by a thorough manual physical examination. With this, osteopath Marie-Jeanne Nijdam forms an impression of the mobility of your bones, muscles and organs. She also gets an image of the blood circulation and innervation of the examined structures. After the examination, the osteopath explains her findings in relation to your complaint. It is advisable to bring any additional information in the form of MRI results, blood tests and / or X-rays to the appointment.
