Osteopathy can provide a solution where physiotherapy or medication only offer a symptomatic and temporary solution.

An osteopath doesn't only focus on a local problem but screens and treats the patient as a whole. During the first appointment, we have a comprehensive interview and movement examination where the osteopath searches for movement disorders in the body. Everyone can benefit from an osteopathic consultation.

Our osteopath solely works with his hands, provides medical advice, has a thorough medical and scientific background and collaborates with his medical colleagues to assist you as effectively as possible.

Many complaints arise from an imbalanced state of tissues, organs, joints, psyche, nutrition, etc. Osteopathy aims to restore this balance by, for example, improving mobility, correcting movement restrictions, stimulating tissue blood flow, etc., with the aim the body's natural healing mechanisms combatting the complaint. It's important to note that these techniques are not always applied directly to the site of the complaint.

At Fysiocare, Kristof Evenepoel works as a (sports)osteopath, closely collaborating with physiotherapists to achieve the best results. Osteopathic treatment is available in both locations of Halle and Schepdaal.

Complaints scientifically proved to be treated osteopathically?

1. acute and chronic back pain (back blockage, radiating pain such as disc herniation)
2. dizziness and headaches (vertigo, migraines, head trauma)
3. jaw issues: difficulties in mouth opening or closing, tense jaw muscles
4. athletes with recurring injuries (knee pain, shoulder pain, muscle tears, etc.)
5. respiratory problems and pneumonia
6. postural abnormalities (even after prolonged rehabilitation with physiotherapy due to surgery or trauma)
7. irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

You can always first inquire whether your problem is treatable with osteopathy

Important: Osteopathic treatment does not replace regular doctor visits! Moreover, the severity and nature of the complaint may prompt an osteopath to refer the patient to his/her general practitioner. Medical and professional safety procedures are respected in all cases.

Osteopathy (per 45min): €60/session (for both the first and any subsequent sessions), for acute and shorter sessions, the full price is of course not charged. Prices may therefore vary in your favor. You will receive a certificate for your mutual insurance fund after each session.

Every mutual insurance fund reimburses at least part of your session 5x per year. If you have additional insurance (Helan, Van Breda, DKV...) we often need to provide an additional document for extra assistance.
