Frequently asked questions

Centre Algos specialises in treating a wide range of acute and chronic pain: osteoarthritis, arthritis, tendinitis, autoimmune conditions affecting joints and digestion. Whether you have osteoarthritis in your back, neck, knees or hands, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or sports-related tendinitis, Wilfried is here to help.

Centre Algos offers an integrative approach to pain management: phytotherapy, cupping, Percutaneous Hydrotomy, Baunscheidt, micro-nutrition, Breuss massage, cold exposure therapy and breathing techniques. Treatments are tailored to each patient's individual needs.

Wilfried Beijersbergen, a trained anaesthesia nurse and qualified naturopath in European Traditional Medicine, brings 20+ years of clinical pain-management experience, in the operating theatre, intensive care and a pain centre before turning to naturopathy. He pursues regular continuing education and is recognised by the Register of Empirical Medicine (RME).

Patient safety and wellbeing are the absolute priority. Every treatment is adapted to the patient's specific needs and medical history. Although treatments are generally considered safe, any intervention carries some level of risk, and potential side effects are always explained to the patient beforehand.

Every patient is unique, and the number of sessions varies depending on the severity, duration of the condition and response to treatment. Most patients notice improvement after a few sessions; some chronic conditions require longer follow-up.

Most sessions last between 45 minutes and one hour, depending on the therapy. A precise estimate is given when the treatment plan is set up.

If you are unable to attend or need to reschedule, please notify Centre Algos at least 48 hours in advance to avoid being billed for the consultation.
