Most injuries we see in women 40+ don’t happen while lifting — they happen while slowing down.

Fast reps, poor coaching, and fatigue-based workouts overload shoulders, knees, and tendons — especially during peri- and menopause.

At Thrive Chiropractic Amsterdam, we focus on:
• Deceleration training
• Spine-led strength
• Bone-density-aware loading
• Fall prevention and stabilityThis isn’t group fitness.

Why Our Chiropractor May Recommend Guided Training Alongside Care:

Chiropractic helps restore and maintain healthy joint movement — especially in the spine.

But movement alone isn’t enough.

Once joints start moving better, your body needs to learn how to use that movement safely and confidently again. That’s where training comes in.

Many women in their 40s and beyond don’t feel “injured” — but they feel:

- Stiffer than they used to be

- Less steady on their feet

- More cautious bending, turning, or carrying things

- Tired after movements that used to feel easy

This isn’t weakness.
It’s your nervous system protecting joints that don’t feel reliable.

Training after chiropractic care helps your body:

- Build strength around newly restored motion

- Improve balance and reaction time

- Slow down movements safely (fall prevention)

- Reinforce better posture and movement patterns

This type of training isn’t about pushing harder or sweating more.

It’s about control, confidence, and long-term joint safety.

By combining chiropractic and targeted training:

- Your adjustments last longer

- Your body compensates less

- Every day movement feels easier and more secure

This is preventive care — designed to keep you moving well now, so care can stay gentle later.

At Thrive Chiropractic Amsterdam, we focus on restoring motion where it’s lost — before stiffness becomes pain.

Targeted training then teaches the body how to use that movement safely — improving balance, posture, and control.

Together, this approach helps women stay strong, steady, and confident in daily life — now and in the years ahead.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐈𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐔𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧

The first sign of a herniated disc or bulging disc isn’t always sharp pain or sciatica.

Most early signals are quiet — and easy to brush off.

Things patients often tell us later:
• “My hamstrings were always tight, no matter how much I stretched.”
• “One arm just felt heavy.”
• “I couldn’t wear a necklace — it felt uncomfortable or irritating.”
• “I stopped carrying a purse on one shoulder due to pulling feeling.”
• “Turning my head felt different side to side.”
• “I had headaches, but no real neck pain.”

These aren’t random.

They’re often signs that key areas of the spine aren’t moving the way they should — especially where the neck meets the upper back or where the low back meets the pelvis.

When motion is restricted, the body compensates quietly… long before pain shows up.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and it doesn’t mean anything is “wrong” with you.

The more we understand what our bodies are telling us early on, the better we can care for them — and often prevent bigger problems from developing.

At Thrive Chiropractic Amsterdam, we focus on identifying and correcting these underlying movement patterns — not just treating symptoms once they become severe.

The more you understand what your body is telling you early on, the better you can care for it and prevent more serious issues from developing.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 — 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐈𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫.

Most people we see have already tried exercise, physio, massage — sometimes even chiropractic.

So when the pain keeps coming back, the question isn’t:
“How do we get relief today?”

It’s:
“Why does this pattern keep repeating?”

In many chronic cases, the issue isn’t general stiffness. It’s specific spinal segments that stopped moving — most often at the base of the neck or the low back–pelvis junction.

When those areas don’t move, the body compensates:
- muscles overwork
- joints take extra load
- discs or nerves become the pressure point.

This is also why WE receive referrals from OTHER clinics.

Some cases don’t need more force — they need more precision, and sometimes decompression to reduce pressure while motion is restored.

And it’s why chronic problems don’t resolve in one visit. Those viral “instant relief” videos look great — but they don’t change patterns built over months or years.

Chiropractic works by restoring motion where it’s missing and reinforcing it over time, so the nervous system can relearn how to move.

When care or exercises are skipped, the old pattern simply reasserts itself.

Relief can happen quickly.
Correction takes consistency.

Pain doesn’t keep coming back because you’re broken. It comes back because your body is compensating.

Fix the pattern — and the system finally has room to heal.

Is chiropractic covered by my insurance provider? This is a freqently asked question in our practice. Almost all health insurance providers have included chiropractic in their (supplementary) package.

Depending on your insurance, some or the full rate will be covered, usually up to a maximum number of treatments per year. Good to know: you don’t pay for this at your own risk!

𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐈𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫

Most people think stiffness is a muscle problem — so they stretch more, massage more, or just push harder in the gym.

But stiffness isn’t usually a muscle issue.
It’s a movement issue.

And even the best exercises can’t correct a pattern if the foundation of the spine isn’t moving the way it should.

When key spinal transition zones get locked up — especially the cervicothoracic junction and the lumbopelvic foundation — your body compensates:

>> Muscles fire out of sequence
>> Joints above and below take on extra stress
>> Discs absorb pressure they were never designed to
>> Tightness becomes a protective mechanism, not an accident

So you strengthen the wrong pattern…
And symptoms keep returning.

Exercise IS important — but only when your spine can actually move well enough to use the right muscles in the right order.

That’s where chiropractic comes in.

By restoring proper motion at the segments that drive the entire system, your exercises finally work the way they’re supposed to:

- better movement
- less tension
- fewer compensations
- a body that feels fluid, strong, and stable again

Chiropractic doesn’t replace exercise.
It makes it effective.

𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚

When someone comes in with a disc bulge or herniation, most people only see the symptoms — the sharp pain, the nerve tension, the limited movement.

What we see is the 𝐖𝐇𝐘.

For many, the lumbopelvic foundation isn’t moving the way it should.
When that base stiffens, the body compensates:
- Muscles fire out of sequence
- Joints above and below absorb stress
- The disc becomes the “pressure point” in a much bigger pattern

That’s exactly what happened in this case.
A patient was referred to us by another chiropractic clinic here in Amsterdam because they knew he needed something more specific — non-surgical Spinal Decompression combined with gentle, structural chiropractic care.

Week by week, as we restored motion at the right spinal segments and reduced pressure through decompression, his nervous system finally had room to calm down and reorganize.

He went from barely bearing weight…
- to walking…
- to biking again
— and now he’s climbing Amsterdam bridges without having to get off the bike.

𝐍𝐨𝐭 because symptoms were “chased,”
but because𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 —
and the spine became stable enough to heal.

Spinal Decompression Therapy is a comfortable, non-surgical option for secondary conditions such as:
• Disc bulges & herniations
• Sciatica
• Low back and neck pain
• Nerve pain in the arm or leg
• Degeneration and disc height loss

At Thrive Chiropractic, we use advanced, precise decompression equipment and pair it with chiropractic care that restores proper spinal motion — so healing is not just possible, but sustainable.

𝐋𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 isn’t random. Neither are 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐠𝐞𝐬, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚

They’re often signs that your spinal foundation — the lumbopelvic region — has lost proper movement and control.

This region is the body’s anchor point. When it stiffens or moves inefficiently, everything above and below adapts — the thoracic spine, hips, and even neck begin to compensate.

Those compensations may feel like tight muscles, nerve tension, or weakness, but they’re really your body’s way of trying to work around a locked foundation.

And here’s the key:
-> Treating the tightness, inflammation, or nerve pain is 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲. Until the pattern — the way your spine loads, stabilizes, and transfers force — is corrected, your body will keep looping through the same dysfunction.

That’s where Thrive Chiropractic makes the difference. We focus on restoring motion at those key transition zones (like the lumbopelvic and upper thoracic regions) and re-educating the nervous system so the right muscles fire at the right time.

Pain relief is just the beginning. The real win is when your body starts moving the way it was built to.

Sometimes life forces you to slow down.

Recently, one of our clients developed a painful lower back injury — the kind that stops you mid-routine, reminding you just how much your spine does every single day.

It’s tough watching someone so active have to hit pause. But in that stillness, there’s a hidden lesson: your body doesn’t just need strength — it needs function.

This injury didn’t appear overnight. It built up over time through subtle breakdowns in movement — especially at the lumbopelvic junction, where motion and stability are meant to work in harmony. When those areas stiffen or compensate, the wrong muscles take over again and again, until something finally gives.

That’s where Thrive chiropractic care comes in.

Right now, it’s the one thing he can do — restoring mobility, retraining efficient patterns, and helping the body reconnect to how it’s designed to move.

Progress doesn’t always look like lifting heavier or doing more.

Sometimes, it looks like patience.
Like trusting the process.
Like showing up — even when it’s quiet healing instead of loud performance.

At Thrive Chiropractic, we keep the process moving — even when life slows you down.

Phone in hand, hours at the desk, or breastfeeding?

Chances are you’ve developed 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 (𝐅𝐇𝐏) — one of the most common (and overlooked) stressors on the spine.

When the head shifts forward, the cervicothoracic and upper thoracic junction (where your neck meets your upper back) takes the hit.
◼︎ Instead of moving smoothly, this area stiffens.
◼︎ Smaller muscles like the traps and scalenes are forced to overwork.
◼︎ Normal movement patterns break down.

Common secondary conditions include:

◼︎ Headaches
◼︎ Neck pain & muscle tension
◼︎ Shoulder pain
◼︎ Uneven head rotation
◼︎ Postural distortions
◼︎ Even disc bulges or disc herniations

And it doesn’t stop at the neck. The lumbopelvic region (your spine’s foundation) often compensates, creating stress in the low back, hips, and hamstrings.
