Best chiropractic care in The Hague for 35 years
Praktijk Chiropractie Stegeman has been located at Zwolsestraat 197 in The Hague since 1987. Since then, we have treated over 23,000 people from home and abroad. We are there for everyone, from babies to the elderly. Quality and personal attention are at the heart of our practice.
Despite the fact that one does not need a referral for chiropractic treatment, our team of chiropractors frequently and intensively collaborates with GPs, specialists (orthopaedists, neurologists, pain clinic specialists) and physiotherapists. Our chiropractors also treat many people from theatre, dance and music companies.
We consider it of great importance to keep abreast of the latest developments in our field and adjacent specialisms. Therefore, we give high priority to continuing education so that we can guarantee a permanently high level of treatment.
All our chiropractors are registered with the NCA and SCN or with the DCF and SNRC.

Kai V. Holm D.C.
Born and raised in northern Germany, Kai Verena Holm trained as a ‘Doctor of Chiropractic’ at Life University – School of Chiropractic in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
From an early age, Kai wanted to help people in the field of health. Through her mother’s chiropractor, Kai discovered the way to do this. It inspired her to go to America to train as a chiropractor in 1992, just three days after graduating from high school.
After graduating cum laude there, Kai worked for a few years in a busy chiropractic practice in southern Germany. In 2000, she moved to the Netherlands and started working at Praktijk Chiropractie Stegeman. As of 1 February 2019, exactly 19 years later, Kai took over the practice from Erik Stegeman.
Kai’s passion in her work focuses not only on keeping the spine functioning optimally, but in particular on positively influencing the overall health and lifestyle of her patients.
Kai V. Holm D.C.
Kai Verena Holm, geboren en getogen in Noord-Duitsland, volgde haar opleiding tot ‘Doctor of Chiropractic’ aan de Life University – School of Chiropractic in Atlanta, Georgia, Verenigde Staten.
Van jongs af aan wilde Kai mensen helpen op het gebied van gezondheid. Door de chiropractor van haar moeder ontdekte Kai de manier waarop ze dit kon doen. Het inspireerde haar om in 1992, slechts drie dagen na het behalen van haar VWO-diploma, naar Amerika te gaan voor de opleiding tot chiropractor.
Nadat ze daar cum laude was afgestudeerd werkte Kai een paar jaar in een drukke chiropractiepraktijk in Zuid-Duitsland. In 2000 vertrok ze naar Nederland en begon bij Praktijk Chiropractie Stegeman. Per 1 februari 2019, precies 19 jaar later, nam Kai de praktijk over van Erik Stegeman.
Kai’s passie in haar werk richt zich niet alleen op het optimaal laten functioneren van de wervelkolom, maar met name ook op het positief beïnvloeden van de algehele gezondheid en leefstijl van haar patiënten.
