How chiropractic
care works
What to expect during your first visit
If you have never been to a chiropractor before, it is completely normal not to know quite what to expect.
We have set up your first appointment at Waterland Chiropractie Leerdam to be relaxed and straightforward, with the focus on understanding what is actually causing your complaint rather than just easing the symptoms.
You do not need a referral from your GP.
What to bring:
- A list of any medication you currently take
- Any recent scans or medical reports relevant to your complaint
- Comfortable clothing (sportswear or loose-fitting clothes work well)
- Your insurance details
Allow around 45 to 60 minutes for this first visit.
Comprehensive intake
We start by getting the full picture: what is bothering you now, how it began, anything you have already tried, and how your work, lifestyle and goals fit in.
Physical and chiropractic examination
Next comes a hands-on physical, orthopaedic and neurological check of your posture, mobility, muscle tension, joint function and reflexes.
Personal treatment plan
Based on the findings, you’ll receive a clear explanation of what’s causing your complaint and a personalised treatment plan.
First treatment
Where it is appropriate, we can often begin your first treatment during that same visit.

Chiropractic care
Leerdam
Common Conditions Treated by us
Chiropractic looks at how well your spine and nervous system move together. When that movement is restricted, by posture, overload, an old injury or a disc problem, it often shows up as the everyday aches and pains people learn to live with.
At our Leerdam practice we work to find and treat that underlying restriction, so you can relieve pain, move more easily and get back to what your day asks of you.
Recurring head pain or a band-like pressure that is frequently driven by tension in the neck and upper back.
Treatment targets that underlying tension rather than masking the symptom.
Tightness, stiffness or a reduced range of motion in the neck, often from posture, desk work or strain.
Gentle adjustments restore the movement and take the tension out of the area.
Wear or inflammation in the joints that leaves them stiff and sore, often worst first thing in the morning.
Gentle, targeted care keeps the joints moving and helps reduce day-to-day stiffness.
A disc that bulges or tears and presses on nearby nerves, often causing pain, tingling or weakness.
A non-surgical, conservative approach helps take pressure off the nerve and supports recovery.
Aching, stiffness or a locked feeling in the lower back that makes everyday movements harder.
Hands-on chiropractic treatment eases the pain and helps your lower back move freely again.
Sharp or burning nerve pain that travels from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg.
Care focuses on relieving the pressure on the nerve so the symptoms settle.

Pregnancy care in Leerdam
Support through pregnancy
from a Webster certified chiropractor
Pregnancy appointments in Leerdam are with Matthew Barney D.C., who is Webster certified. The Webster Technique was developed for pregnant women and works on the position and movement of the pelvis and on the muscles and ligaments that support it.
As a pregnancy progresses the load moves onto the pelvis and lower back, the ribcage widens, and the strain rarely stays in one spot. Women across Leerdam and the Vijfheerenlanden describe it as a deep ache low in the back, a tight band between the shoulder blades, or pain that runs down one leg.
Every appointment is matched to how far along you are. The certification is awarded by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.
Through all three trimesters
Care that adapts as your pregnancy progresses, with positioning that keeps you comfortable on the table.
Common in pregnancy
Pelvic girdle pain, low back ache, tension between the shoulder blades, and sciatica.
Leerdam and the Vijfheerenlanden
Patients come to us from across the region, including from along the Linge. No referral needed.

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions about treatment or your first visit?
You will find the answers below.
Where is Waterland Chiropractie Leerdam located?
You’ll find us at Burgemeester Meesplein 5, 4142 AZ Leerdam, in Leerdam-West, with free parking and step-free access at the door. We’re easy to reach from across the Vijfheerenlanden and nearby towns such as Vianen and Tiel.
What happens during a first visit to the chiropractor in Leerdam?
Your first appointment is a full intake: we talk through your complaint and its history, carry out a physical examination, and set out a treatment plan made for you. Where it’s suitable, the first treatment can take place the same day. You won’t need a referral from your GP. To book, call 0345 623 660 or send a message through the form and we’ll get back to you.
Can a chiropractor in Leerdam help with lower back pain or a herniated disc?
Yes. Lower back pain, a herniated disc and sciatica all respond well to a careful, non-surgical chiropractic approach. Chiropractor Ivar Ransberg MSc looks for what is actually driving the pain and builds the plan around that cause rather than the symptom alone. Many people find meaningful relief within a handful of sessions.
Can chiropractic treatment help with headaches or migraines in Leerdam?
Often, yes. Tension headaches and many migraines trace back to tightness and restricted movement in the neck and upper spine. By easing that underlying tension, chiropractic care can help reduce how often headaches and migraines flare up. Ivar will assess your situation and tell you honestly whether it is likely to help in your case.

Does the chiropractor in Leerdam treat neck pain or whiplash?
Yes. Neck pain, stiffness and whiplash, including after a car accident, are among the complaints we see most. Ivar Ransberg MSc puts together a personalised recovery plan and guides you through it step by step. No referral is needed.
How many chiropractic sessions will I need in Leerdam?
It depends on you and your complaint. With acute problems we usually start a little more often, for example twice a week, and space appointments out as you improve. Many people notice a clear difference within a handful of treatments. Once you are free of complaints, some choose the occasional maintenance visit (monthly or quarterly) to stay on top of things, but that is always your choice.
Is chiropractic care safe, and does treatment hurt?
Chiropractic is a regulated, evidence-informed profession, and treatment is generally gentle. Most people are comfortable during an adjustment and often feel a sense of ease straight away. It is normal to notice some mild soreness in the first day or two afterwards, much like after exercise, which soon settles. Ivar always explains what he is doing and adapts the approach to what feels right for you.
Our practice on Burgemeester Meesplein is easily accessible from across the Vijfheerenlanden.
