Understanding complaints that simply do not go away
Many people who come to MSK Centrum have had complaints for a long time and have often already tried multiple treatments. At MSK Centrum, we look at complaints differently. Not just at the spot where it hurts, but at the balance of the body as a whole.
The cause of recurring complaints
When complaints keep recurring, the cause often does not lie at the spot where the pain is felt. The body can compensate for complaints for a long time until a misalignment in the spine or pelvis eventually causes issues.
At MSK Centrum, we work according to orthomanual medicine (Sickesz Method). This medical method focuses on the alignment of the spine and the pelvis. Misalignments here can cause complaints in various places in the body. The treatment is careful and subtle, without heavy cracking or forcing.
This approach is intended for people with long-term or recurring complaints, especially when previous treatments have had insufficient effect. We always personally assess whether this method suits your situation.

The people behind MSK Centrum
MSK Centrum is led by Doctor Dennis Bartels and Esther. Both have had long-term back complaints themselves and know how restrictive that can be. It is precisely that personal experience that forms the basis of the center.
Doctor Dennis Bartels worked for years in a back clinic and saw how care changed: longer waiting lists and less room for personal attention. At MSK Centrum, he is able to offer that space.
Esther has worked as a sports teacher for more than thirty years and guides people in movement, recovery, and strength building. In addition, she is a certified orthomolecular nutritionist.
Together, they ensure a careful, personal approach in which attention is central.
Ratings from our patients

The experiences of our patients show what a treatment can mean.
MSK medicine has, so to speak, changed both my daily and athletic life. I was a chronic back patient and had already undergone extensive physiotherapy and manual therapy, but the complaints were never fully resolved. In just a few sessions at MSK, that was rectified! I could hardly believe it. I have also taken up judo again, and with all that falling, things can occasionally shift out of place. With an appointment about once or twice a year, the doctor realigns my back, neck, and hips, and I am ready to go again. I am now 63 years old and have been practicing judo again since I was 57. While judo might be somewhat extreme, what matters most is that I am no longer limited by pain during movement in my daily life.
A very skilled and caring physician! She helped me tremendously with my hip problem. This method has cured me of migraines and stomach issues. Highly recommended.
Very satisfied; my appointment requests receive prompt responses. Every effort is made to schedule them as soon as possible.
No more treatments offered than necessary and effective
I visited MSK Centrum due to long-term neck and shoulder complaints. During the initial consultation, extensive time was taken to map out my symptoms. The explanation regarding the cause of my complaints was clear and understandable. After a few treatments, I noticed a distinct improvement in my range of motion and the pain decreased. The practice feels professional and calm, and I felt that my concerns were taken seriously. I would certainly recommend MSK Centrum to people with similar complaints.
