i think it's better if you send your mother to a doctor and see what they can do first.the doctor will run some test.if that doesn't help ,alternative of a chiropractor will do then.
so what's wrong with your mother's back.can you fill in the detail?how long has it been?

i have backache too.. been to see the doctor. but the doctor said it's due to my muscle. asked me to do more stretching ..
not sure if this reli help..

anyone can advice me if i shld try chiro?

maybe you adopt poor posture,check it out on internet.that ought to show you how the right posture should be
are you young?if so..furnish me the detail ...i might help

i'm female in my mid 20s. working as full time desk bound job. i guess so it's my bad posture. but i've been paying attention to my posture but yet, no improvement. i have backache for almost 2 years already.
i go for swimming every now and then although not regular. i practise yoga once a week. but i still get my backache quite often.

Thanks for your help in advance yea..

what about in Penang? available?

Be prepare for long queue. Very popular clinic

Chiropractor is similar to physiotherapy?

ya as usual long queue. But it is better if u make appointment earlier.

Is it a comfortable experience having encountered a chiropractor?

Not as horrible as one may imagine. Yes, there are some cracking around the experience is not too bad. But don't expect magical happen with just one treatment, it need a series of treatment to feel better, the Chiropractor will advice you accordingly on your problem and the treatment needed. But I definitely can feel the relief after each treatment, that's my experience.

My friend has some cracking on my back and it feels great.
But I heard that if it is done incorrectly, the damage cannot be reversed.
But there are always good chiropractor and bad ones.
I guess need to do a lot of research before entrusting our spine to anyone...

you could also try the Chiropractor Clinic @ IMU (International Medical University) Health Care @ Sri Petaling

Will we become guinea pigs for the students then?

lolz , not for the main therapy/adjustments...but there may be cute guys or girls that are doing intern though if you're lucky XD

Basically a Chiropractor will try to straighten one's spine as a 1st treatment. After that, they will try to relax the rest of the body especially the shoulder and head section. A hardened spine will cause the rest of the body to feel uncomfortable as time progresses.
1st treatment on the back usually feels like your back is broken...haha. After a little while you feel yourself like being lighter and you can walk real straight

See whose the lucky patient

Done?

Yes. Someone close it please

Since its not closed yet. Want to ask about this Premier Chiropractor. Recommended by my Mom in law's friend, I went there for the first appointment 2 days ago, besides cracking my back and neck, he does a lot of this hold your hand up and tap tap on the forehead and chest and back thing, which I don't really understand, he also wrote down a lot of stuffs, which made it look like he is measuing stuffs.

But I read from USJ forum he combines spiritual healing in his practice also, so maybe this is that?

the hold your hand thing is supposedly for him to tell which part of your spine that has problem, by assessing the strength of your arm. According to him, all the nerves all connected to the spine and by doing that he is able to tell which part is wrong, so he knows which bone he is supposed to crack.

Hi. I tried twice on this chiropractor in pj, damansara perdana. He is a korean and used to help professional badminton players. My friend got slip disc also got healed by just one session. Pm me if u need the contact & address.

How much for ome session

Can try Dr Nick in Global Doctor at Hartamas too.

If i have constant back pain when i stand too long or sit too long, or do some carrying activities, should i go for orthopaedic or chiropractor?

Hi does anyone know any physio or chiro accept medijaring cards?

i would like to know that too.. try to find a treatment on company's card

which center is recommended for scoliosis treatment?

Hi, I just wanna share my experience on my recent visit to a chiro. I went to a well known chiro based on the forums recommendation but I'm not saying which one.

Long story short, I was deadlifting really hard the other day because I wanna challenge these forum warriors here and i injured my back. I was felling only a slight pain when the incident occurred so I man up and continue the rest of the workout. It was only when I got home I felt my back is not right.

Anyway am i satisfied with the chiro? Yes and no.

Yes because it kinda help me fixed my back. On my first visit he realigned my back and after two three days of self massage with ointments, I felt good.

I'm not satisfied with the because I think he's not very professional. He rushed the whole process as if he wanna go home to flower his garden. Asked me about my pain, then just go like "do this, do that, do this again" then twisted my body, told me to come back in two days and left the room.

I asked so is my back ok? Then only he put half of his body into the room and told me he fixed the problem and told me not to workout. On my second visit he didn't even said anything but just told me to come back again in three days and not to workout, then rushed out. By that time my back was feeling good so I didn't even bothered to make my third appointment.

Cmon la chiro. I know you're not a doctor but at least give some opinion or tell me about some of your experience on these kinda injury. Only rich aunties will come to see you every week for the rest of their life. But maybe seeing a chiro I am expected to take continuos treatment la I donno and don't care because my back is ok now.

wud love to know which chiro u went; pls chk ur pm..

Its Premier Chiropractor in SS2. After getting a PM from other user having the same experience, I think its not just me.

Besides, after looking at the following vid, I have concluded that this guy there know very little about chiropractic.

At this point I care much more about results than anything else, and of course, to a certain extent, the cost.

So, the conclusion is that he did a good job in fixing the problem? And do you have other recommendations of good chiropractors?

Btw do you remember your chiropractor's name? And the indicative pricing?

This post has been edited by DT1: Nov 15 2012, 11:54 AM

I don't think that Doc at SS2 is a real Chiropractor.

I went there before with Finger and shoulder joint injury. But he insisted could be neck injury. He gripped my arm and proceeded to touch a few points at the back of the neck and back (in a very quick manner, like some kung Fu movie) , jot down some notes here and there, and then twisted my neck left and right (like the Indian Barber does).

Although I kept mentioning about my Fingers and shoulder problem, he never even bothered to take a look at them. It was as if he was in a rush to get it over with and I was taking up his time.

All this he rushed through in 5-10 min and charged the usual RM90/-. After that he told me to come back in 2 days time for another follow up (want to con me for another RM70/-)

Needless to say I never went back for follow up because I know a fake when I see one. My injury still exist till today, until I can find a Genuine Chiro who tries to heal you in the shortest time and not drag and con you of your money, which I can scarcely afford.

You can try this chiro beside Festival Mall @ Setapak, can PM me for address if you really want. Average is a 1-2 hour session including massage/acupuncture/chiro/herbal steam/and the cup sucking thingy XD..depending on your condition. Appointments are full most of the time, so call to book a place. Price from RM80-RM150

No one mentioned about Bangsar chiropractic and IMU chiropractic at Taman tun dr ismail KL..
So far these two r fine however it all depends on how much or how far ur body would be able to tolerate.

Fr my personal experience dr Tinsley fr IMU chiropractic listens n gives his time n place effort in me. I've been with him for 2 months alrdy, so far he explains n answers all questions asked. Unlike many non professional chiro's here who don't explain neither answer ur questions n are always with the rushing attitude.

Dr michael fr empire he's so so for me only. He has very high ego. And for me his adjustments weren't too consistent based from my personal experience.

Never go to spine n joint specialist! They cut ur throat as if u r someone rich and worst thing is they r not adjusting ur vertebrae specifically.

Therefore I would recommend only two places which is Bangsar n ttdi. For Bangsar Twink is more senior however her adjustment is very gentle n soft more suitable for elderly n babies. Dansen is slightly stronger however they practice gentle adjustments.
And as for Tinsley he's quite gentle to me. Both Twink n Tinsley knows cranial work and cranial adjustments r good in a way. I would recommend Tinsley more for cranial work.

So it all comes down to what ur symptoms are. If it's js some backaches then maybe Michael could also help. If for more serious case, I would prefer Bangsar / ttdi.

Added on November 16, 2012, 9:14 pmMichael assessment is quite good. He check the full spine with his nervoscope n I did get some good response before however out of 10 visits I felt good twice perhaps ... The rest of it weren't too good.. And when I say he's ego becoz whenever I tell him the side effects I was experiencing from the adjustments he js ignored me n didn't give me any explanation n tell me to tell him the positive results. Don't tell him negative results. He was good initially explained well n first assessment was good with explanation.

But when I keep telling him I had bad bad headaches after d adjustments he didn't quite like it. So I nvr go back after that. Though I do believe in gonstead chiropractic if u guys wanna know more watch dr Ian rossborough's videos on YouTube. He's very professional n a great chiro ! He chcecked all in details before any adjustments I wish to see him however it's out of my boundary .. If he's here I would definitely go to him. Many chiro's here don't bother to look at your x rays. And they do not study carefully even if hey hv the films, like those nucca / iucca / upper cervical n dr Ian, they all do look into d x ray in depth with d grid lines all over n from there would be able to view the degree of tiltation or misalignment of the overall body posture.

This is my expectation towards a chiropractor, I would say a professional one would definitely do that bcz they care for their patiets rather than js wanting to make money alone.

So, something to tk note is - get a chiro who looks at x rays, if they don't, insist on it. Another inportant tip is get one who adjust specifically on only the vertebrae that has problem n not js simply cracking anywhere n everywhere with no reason.

Over cracking or cracking on areas without problem might cause more problems later on. Spine n joint dr andre abader had caused severe side effects n injuries to me that can't be fixed 100% yet until now! Dr michael helped me relieved the pain from my shoulder , neck, tooth, eye n head caused by andre abader! But somehow some other problems n discomfort he had caused to my upper cervical area not resolved as he adjusted me very very hard! And probably had caused d vertebrae to rotate out of position badly n from a no issue area on my right n til now my whole right side from head, neck, shoulder, back n lower back now having problems!

---

Added on November 16, 2012, 9:21 pmGet d chiro to tell u which vertebrae is having any issue from their assessment. Do not ever allow them to adjust u without a diagnosis.

Study n read about chiropractic before really goin to one so that u have some knowledge on it n that they will not simply make money out of u bcz u do not have the understanding n knowledge about chiropractic ..

If u woyld wanna know more, could pm me. I hv lotsa experiences with chiropractors n medical specialist, I was from the medical industry before so I understand better also from my own personal experiences n researches..

Added on November 16, 2012, 9:29 pmYea this lady doctor is gentle, I like.

the one at empire is good (spinal joint) the chiro that attended to me was Dr Barry.
he took time in asking me my about my complains and was not rushing through the session (the office closes at 7pm and i came in about 6:45pm)..

havent started the corrective procedures yet but i definitely will go back

This post has been edited by bonkers28: Nov 16 2012, 11:27 PM

Thanks, but too far away. Besides I just got referral letter from normal Doc to see an Orthopedic soon.

From several posts in this forum itself, apparently a few people recommend a visit to the chiropractor for backache, as opposed to the orthopaedic.

My problem wasn't backache.

In med school, we were taught to be professional, and that includes spending reasonable time with patients, explaining to them their problems diagnosed, and treatment protocol to be expected. This is the service that we are supposed to provide. I understand your experience, and if i were you, i would have think twice about coming back to this doctor. Its like paying a high service charge in a posh restaurant, yet not feeling that we're getting for what we're paying

And it seems that in your case of a doctor rushing off when being asked questions, it seems like he's avoiding your questions. To put it bluntly, perhaps he doesn't know your problem, that's why he's trying to escape from answering your questions.

And as for standard chiropractic treatments, the doctors usually would have an estimation of how many times you would need to return for treatment for full recovery, and this number may be as little as 2 visits and as many as 6-8 visits. Then again, everyone's problem is different (severity, chronicity, etc.), and recovery time differs from person to person, so there is no "standard" amount of return visits that should be imposed on everybody. And if you feel a doctor is trying to make money out of you, such as asking you to come back visits after visits, when your problem has significantly reduced/eliminated...you should be weary of him.

The neck cracking and popping you mentioned are known as cervical breaks, and are very different from those practiced by barbers etc. Trained chiropractors are taught to adjust with a specific high speed low amplitude (HVLA) adjustments, and in the context of cervical breaks, a specific area to be adjusted at the contact point only. Research findings have attributed stroke secondary to VBA dissection post adjustment. However, over the period of a few decades, it has been found that only 2 cases of such strokes was the result of a chiropractic cervical manipulation, whereas the astronomically high figure reported are due to other causes, with barber neck cracking being one of the culprits. Google up research articles by David Cassidy and VBA strokes. In essence, other than trained chiropractors adjusting your neck, i wouldn't want anyone else touching my neck!

And Ngto, perhaps you could elaborate a little on your finger and shoulder problem? There is neurologic relation between the cervical nerves innervating the fingers and shoulders (shoulder to a certain extend), and could be the basis of his neck adjustment given to you. Did he test your dermatomes, myotomes, and reflexes (arm and forearm only) on your fingers and shoulders?

I am amazed about how much you know about chiropractic and how much faith you have in it!

Generally speaking, chiropractic is a yet to be legislated profession in Malaysia, unlike countries like the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, where it has been established for many years, and hence have laws to protect the profession. In our country, it is a well known fact that there are people with some knowledge of chinese bone-setting, TCM, and what-not calling themselves chiropractors. In this US, such a practice is a criminal offence chargeable under "...practicing chiropractic without a licence." and is liable to jail sentencing. I urge people seeking chiropractic care in Malaysia to check with the doctor's credentials before seeking his care. You wouldn't want someone taking care of your health when he/she isn't a qualified practitioner. Its akin to seeing a quack medical doctor and taking his prescribed medications when he's not a real doctor!

As for x-rays, not all chiropractors will require your x-rays. It depends on the patient's complains. Chiropractors, like medical doctors, are trained to take full medical history, and upon identifying a problem that seems more serious, an x-ray would be requested. To x-ray almost every little detail thing is to put the patients into unnecessary ionising radiation, which is doing more harm than good. However, there are certain chiropractic techniques, such as Gonstead technique that you've mentioned, that would require more x-ray than other Diversified chiropractic practioners, and this is just due to the nature of the technique that utilizes a lot of x-ray line drawings. An example to accompany what i've just explained is this: If a patient walks into my clinic with chronic and persistent cough for months, and reports backache, i wouldn't even adjust him at all, and would request for an x-ray immediately. In another scenario whereby a person complaining of backache for the past week or so, with his history of working into the late hours of the night, i wouldn't request for an x-ray. The reason to this is because, in the first scenario, i am suspecting that the patient has tuberculosis with Pott's spine, and adjustments to his spine would very likely fracture his bones. In the second scenario, it appears that the patient has a subluxation that needs an adjustment, with muscular spasms being secondary to the subluxations. Then again, these two scenarios are just hypothetical situations.

I tried googling and asked around but I still have no clue why he grab our arms and touch our face like some kungfu. Anybody knows?

I seem to recall in much earlier thread people mentioned he might be using some sort of 'Chi' kind of treatment (or something similar). But whatever it is, didn't work for me.

Also I wish he could first balance his own Chi, and give time and attention to the well-being of his patients and not just concentrate on his own Financial gains

If you had to chance to clarify with him, if he's using some of these "chi" techniques, then...it's unheard of in the field of chiropractic. You never know...he might be a real chiropractor, but integrates some of these non-chiropractic treatment techniques in his practice. In chiropractic, there are some esoteric techniques that are practiced, and some of these might sound and look like "chi" energy. However, many modern day trained chiropractors have abandoned much of these techniques due to poor evidence in scientific research. Generally speaking, standard chiropractic treatments already works very effectively, without the inclusion of these esoteric techniques incorporated.

An exception to the point mentioned above is acupuncture, which is scientifically proven to treat certain problems. Some chiropractors are licenced to practice acupuncture. But i'd recommend any persons receiving acupuncture treatment from a chiropractor to check with his credentials (whether if he is a qualified acupuncturist).

Chiropractic treatment should be treated with extreme caution, as it is not evidence-based like modern medicine. Mistreatment by chiropractors can result in very dangerous consequences.


I would advise anyone thinking of undergoing chiropractic treatment to think twice (or thrice or more) before putting your life at risk. Please read the following articles first:

Don't Let Chiropractors Fool You

Chiropractic's Dirty Secret: Neck Manipulation and Strokes

you may try acupuncture

does a chiropractor need license?

Went to ss2 chiropractic.. Totally not worth it..
5to8 mins, no stretching.. Nothing.. 90 gone lol,
This will be my first and last time going in.. The doctor not friendly too..

I heard my friend went other chiropractic, at least hers got 1 hour treatment.. And is less than 70..
But ss2 that one quite a lot of people went.. Not affective to me only I think.. Being a doctor sure earns a lot :-)

i have been having recurring headaches and sore neck+shoulder areas for a few months now. not only is it irritating, sometimes the pain keeps me up at night... i would say this problem probably stems from my work (sitting in from of the pc for long hours) and bad posture...

just wondering if a chiropractor could help me with my problems or am i better off going to a acupuncturist? anybody here can recommend someone?

highly recommend you to have acupuncture therapy. recover faster than chiropractor.

Anyone has gone for chiro treatment in this clinic before? Any comment?

http://www.mychiro.com.my/?page=chiropractic

My friend suffered from the minor slip disc in her neck and experiencing minor dull pain in her right shoulder. Does Chiro treatment helps? Will it cost it bomb?

any chiro in ampang area can recommend??

http://fox2now.com/2014/07/14/jama-recomme...pain-treatment/

You can try Life chiropractic. There is a new clinician there Dr Wong

I have and i had terrible neck and unberable jaw pain and dizziness. They don't tell you the traction machine they use to pull your neck causes more injury . I still have problems with my neck. Never use them. (was referring to Mychiro)

Actually i am looking for a simple atlas adjustment from NUCCA i think that will help realign my bones, anyone knows good ones in KL/PJ?

This post has been edited by skpeng: Aug 26 2014, 08:33 PM

Mychiro screw up my neck, took me 2 years to recover and never fully back to where i am. Don't mess with your neck unless it is a simple Atlas adjustment. forget the other adjustments. waste of time

I just back from Australia....saw lots of chiropractic clinics over there....they even have the dog chiropractor.

Some of Aus Universities such as RMIT and Latrobe Uni offered the chiropractic degrees.

rm700 for 7 sessions is not bad but if it don't work as you said

If no medical card, can try GH. My friend work as chiropractor there.

Who?

At the moment, there are a list of registered chiropractor in Malaysia at www.chiroacm.org.

anyone know which chiropractor accepts PM Care medical card?
I tried calling a few but to no avail..

hi can know where in damansara perdana, would you have his contact . thanks

Just for my information....

For those who have go through the chiropractic treatment...

How long is your treatment period? 1 years? Few months? Take forever?

Depends case to case punya.

I've seen some of my clients that I sent to www.myprecisionchiro.com didn't need to follow up unless got problem after 3 sessions. Usually acute cases.

If its chronic can be 3 months or so.

My girl friend already gone through the treatment for a year plus..

If stop, the pain at the right shoulder came back after few weeks.

Doctor said it is normal the treatment may take forever...this is correct?

We don't want to spend money on this treatment for the rest of our life.

I was told that there are many factors to look into.
You can give Dr Michiko a try and see. She is the only skillful gonstead chiropractor I know.

take note, Gonstead Chiropractor and other chiropractors are very different.

I managed to find out more alrdy after speaking to jason. Thanks jason for d info's.

Posted before,

Is there any chiro that accepts AIA red card?

nope. chiropractic in Malaysia is under TCM and not under allied health hence why it is nigh impossible to claim your medical card. only way is to see a certified physio in spinal manipulation

Is there any recommended chiro specializing in neck pain? I've been suffering neck pain for almost 10-12 months now.. the pain is pretty chronic at times..

hi all,
osteoporosis patient with lumber spine and neck disc degenerative
can do chiro only?
anyone have good experience can share on this?
http://www.mayfieldclinic.com/PE-DDD.htm

Lately .. I m experiencing numbness in my index and thumb (LEFT Hand) for about two weeks liao. Gonna see a Chiro at IMU soon. The numbness is really irritating.

Do share your experience. I saw the IMU advertisement board before.
My wrist, shoulder and neck always pain too..

Anyone tried chiropractic first in BU center stage? I went for an X-ray as advised by the doctor. It comes out the doctor said my neck is bending front which need to adjust it with 36 sessions in total.

Is 36 sessions really make sense?

36 sessions sounds like a whole lot. If we're talking about postural correction, there is a need of participation of 'active care' from the patient (i.e. exercise) to strengthen back the muscles in order to correct the posture. The adjustments by a chiropractor only aids in pain relief (if any), and fixing the joints which are hypomobile (not-moving optimally). So adjustments are required, in addition of exercise in order to correct a posture.

But anyway, 36 sessions is just too much, in my opinion.

I can recommend one chiropractor/physio therapist in Penang:
Zen Chiropractic

one of my friends got a back injury got it fixed from this outlet. Young dude, first class honor in his class. Definitely recommend him

Check out this place, they provide Gonstead Chiropractic. Google this up its different from others.

It can be really pricy but they treat every patient differently after all everyone spine is unique instead of other place just ask you to sign up packages just to tie you down.

They may ask you to take X ray as well. So that they can provide a more precise adjustment not just simply crack.

My chiropractor was Dr Deon Lee . My wife is under Dr Lim. Very professional !

anyone tried osso bone care?
any review?
