Yes. He emphasis a lot on the marketing aspect....some of his patients also commented that why he needs to wear coat and tie during the treatment.

Anyway, it is individual preference. If you somehow find a good chiro who offer lower prices, do share your experience here. Cheer!

What i didnt like is... Why do he has to charge by packages? Gonstead chiros r suppose to only fix d problem n let d body heal on its own. N not needing u to constantly keep getting adjusted for no apparent reason.

If lets say u let patient try out first for few times and if they feel comfortable u recommend them package thats fine but what he is practicing is not like that. They want to tie u down so that u don have the chance to go for other chiros.

I got adjusted by mike before too. He is good in the sense of d back but for my neck he made me felt even worst. When i informed him of it , he was too egoistic that he cannot accept my negative feedback.

And now i had an acute pain with me twisting my knee, he even came to the extent of not fixing my problem jus bcz i dont intend to sign up for his package. Is this what an ethical chiropractor does? Imagine i was in pain and yet he didnt want to help. Whatmore he says his aim is to help patients but with such an attitude, i wonder if he ever have d heart to help ALL patients who seek for his help or only those who could PAY him?

Really disappointed with him. I was his old timer patient when he first started his clinic with barry.

Back then when i seen him, he wasnt too gonstead as he called himself to be. I asked if he needed an x ray , he said nothing needed as he alrdy has the nervoscope with palpation he can fix it alrdy and after 3 months only take an x ray to see if it gets better. And i was wondering is tis pure gonstead? And if i were to only take my scan 3 months later how would i be able to compare d before n after results?

And i did email dr ian to confirm if gonstead dont need x ray for chronic case as mine was chronic since young i had the pain for more than 20 yrs. i was told x ray will be needed in chronic severe cases, where nervoscope would then be used to assist together with palpation for confirmation before any adjustment were to be performed. With these + his egoistic character not being able to accept d facts being negative . Only wanting to listen to good feedback which of coz i did gave him when he really helped me with my back. I stopped the moment he put d blame back to me for not going for frequent adjustments; as i was down with dengue back then so i missed a few weeks of the sessions with him.

On my note when i checked back, out of 10 sessions i only felt good twice. So tis time when i go back for acute sprained / twist he refused to check me only ask his staff kit to check me then straight away offered me packages, which of coz i refused!

Well.. Not all chiros r like that.. There r those whom dont tie patients down. Only pay per visit unless u wanted to sign up for packages.. However some of them dont even encourage packages..

I have a slip disc, I have been to a few chiros and physios. My first year , I have spent about RM 10K on treatments. They say you have to do this and that and make sure to visit them weekly (minimum) . Basically, chiropractors are still few, many are foreigners. They mainly cater to middle upper to upper income levels. Chiropractors are not covered by insurance. Now you know why chiros earn BIG BUCKS.

Lower income people are have not much choices but to go to 'urut', Chinese physios, or just bear with the pain.

Fortunately, IMU has opened up a Community Centre which charges reasonable. https://www.facebook.com/IMU-Community-Cent...40341636156055/

Hopefully there are more of these as many people do need affordable chiro services.

Now, I have my pain under control by going to gym (RM 150+ per month) and plus average 1 adjustment ( RM 50+) monthly. Plus occasional massage, I think I do not spent more than RM 300 monthly to control my back pain and I am fitter and healthier.

They do but depending on whom u see and if the adjustments suit your body not . Most importantly d chiro listens to u and who is one that is understanding.

Have anyone tried ss2 premier / corrective chiro at gamuda walk kota kemuning ricky lau?

Ss2 premier was recommended by my friend however i understand he is not much of a talker. But he managed to help my fren in her sciatic pain.

Where else ricky lau so far i didnt get any review as none that i know seen him yet. I recently talked abt him to my fren n she went to see him for d first time she said he is a nice guy as he really spent time with her , an hour explanining n examined thoroughly before performing d adjustment.

Any comments / reviews? Price wise both r reasonable to me.

Ss2 rm100 first time rm80 subsequent. (Diversified / general)

Kk rm200 first time rm95 subsequent (more to gonstead + corrective measure)

I've been going to Dr Michiko Liew in MyPrecision Chiropractic in Seri Petaling. Pure gonstead style and apparently she's registered under the Australian Gonstead Chiropractic list or something like that.

Anyway, I popped my shoulder and she managed to give me back my full range of motion in 2 sessions when before that I could barely lift my arm to shoulder height.

Sorry to heard that your treatment did not go well and agree with you that the patient should offer the payment on per visit basis before commit any package treatment.

I guess the treatment result is differed depending on individual case.

For our case, he did ask for the x-ray in Sunway Hospital to confirm that there is defect in the spine system although he was quite confident there is something wrong based on his manual checking. We also ask for payment on per visit basis, but was told that the price would be a lot more expensive than packaged treatment.

Kit is the new Staff? Why you still go back to DMC when yourself are not happy with the result? You should opt for Dr Ian as you appear to trust him more.

Do wish you find a better doctor.

Well michiko is not too bad. She is quite sincere as well. Willing to help n admitting to her inability to help as my case is a little more complicated compare to other patients. And that she will refer me to ian or other australian chiros when they come over to msia for a visit at her clinic.

Tis is what i like about a person's attitude. Altho a newbie with knowledge n skills at d same time also admitting to mistakes n incapability if unable to. Wont simply waste patient's $$ and time.

I did recommend some patients to her as well. And that their feedback was alright so far.

Unfortunately im one of the abnormal one 😭 which needed sifu level to help perhaps.. Last time i went to a chiro at kuchai lama, dr chong he is good however he has passed away alrdy last yr. what a pity. He has a good heart n skills too. His adjustments r pretty gentle n natural, very smooth.

It's RM180 for the first and RM150 for subsequent check ups. Pretty expensive but given the effectiveness, it ain't a bad price.
