About me

  • I have worked as a full time chiropractor since 2015. I am particularly interested in chronic pain and sports injuries.

    Education
    Master of Chiropractic, AECC, Bournemouth University.

Research

  • My research studies the complex pain mechanism in patients with chronic pain. We want to study the effect of manual therapy on heart rate variability, and how this correlates with changes in pain.

    This is a multicenter clinical randomized study that investigates patients with chronic neck pain.

    In addition, Conditioned Pain Modulation is tested to investigate the predictive value of the test for manual treatment in this patient group.
