Our care for persistent symptoms due to whiplash
What you have to know about
whiplash related complaints
Whiplash is actually a somewhat confusing term. Namely, this refers to the blow/trauma a person may suffer from a collision or fall. But Whiplash can also mean the symptoms a person may keep after the blow. These acute Whiplash symptoms such as neck pain and headaches usually disappear after a few weeks/months.
But Whiplash can also cause chronic symptoms. Together, this collection of persistent symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating etc. is called Whiplash symptoms. Unfortunately, these (neurological) symptoms can last a very long time. Especially for people who still have symptoms after a period of several months or even years, we offer our specialized care.
How we treat whiplash complaints
The cause of chronic Whiplash symptoms, is a neurological problem. There is damage or imbalance between different parts of the nervous system. As a result, there may be too much stimulation in some areas of the brain and too little in others.
Therefore, the key to successful treatment lies in regulating stimuli. With our intensive week of treatment, we recalibrate the different parts of the brain so that there is neither too much nor too little stimulation. This restores the nervous system’s ability to perform its functions properly, causing the symptoms to disappear.

Your road to recovery
One week of intensive treatment
Step 1
The Functional Neurological Examination (FNE)
You share your symptoms with us, prompting us to ask relevant questions and conduct a thorough Neurological Examination. This process allows us to assess whether our treatment is well-suited to your needs.
Step 2
Advanced Machine Testing (quantification)
Based on Step 1, we determine what tests are necessary to quantify the underlying cause of the symptoms. To do this, we use a range of computer-controlled equipment.
Step 3
Rehabilitation week (in 5 days)
We address the problems. Through an individual program specifically tailored to your problems, we bring back function during an intensive week of treatment.
Step 4
Aftercare
After the 5-day intensive treatment week, we will give you homework assignments. These are exercises that further promote your recovery. We are happy to keep an eye on these developments with you.
What does ABC expect from you?
Our treatment is effective but intensive. This means that our treatment lasts a full week and during that time you will be in the clinic with us daily. Through the intensive program consisting of testing, training, neuro feedback and active stimulation, we bring back the balance between the different parts of the nervous system.
It is not possible to offer this treatment in parts because the very intensity of the treatment is the key to its success. Therefore, we expect our clients to have a full week scheduled for treatment. So we ask you to invest a week to enjoy a life after that.
