i think i have a back bone problem, bcos i can only sleep when my body is curved, usually by the start of the morning i'm curled up like a pretzel already " lying down, sitting up or standing straight is mildly uncomfortable

when i sit i need to put my feet up otherwise i keep shifting my position too


anyway, so i'm intending to visit a chiropractor, but i was wondering if anyone knows how much the consultation fees cost?

Expect for a bill as much as RM80 if you visit them for the first time.
i paid RM80 for the first time when i visit my Eye Specialist Doctor.
subsequent consultant fee will be cheaper like RM30

my friend, who studies in this field, said that it would be around RM 75 for 15 mins of treatment.

thank you

i'll try to go this sunday and let u know how much it costs too

do u have kyphoscoliosis? just want to know..

I am a chiropractor practicing in Plaza Damas, Sri Hartamas.

There is no standard charges in Malaysia right now. It may range from RM70-200.

The charges are all depending on the treatment given. Some chiropractic centres has physiotherapy facilities such as ultrasound, interferential currents, EMS, low grade laser, specialized tables. The charges are reflected from the equipments used.

Some chiropractors charges low such as RM70. THat means they have no other equipment at their centres except hands.

For my case, we charge RM110 for first visit, subsequent visits is RM90. We have a full physiotherapy facility and chiropractic specialized tables

Added on January 21, 2009, 10:40 amThere are lots of bad apple Chiropractors out there in Malaysia. Signing patients with very expensive packages ie. RM5000-10000 range. Do not fall into it because it is totally against Ministry of Health ruling.

A reasonable charge for a USA/Canada/Australia trained chiropractor is about RM70-120 per session. Anything more than that is considered unreasonable.

oh hello hello

so i went to the chiropractor in klang, the first visit is rm130 and the subsequent visit is rm100

i guess they charge depending on the severity of your case. i got diagnosed with scolisis T_T so during the first visit the doc already pressed on my muscles and cracked too many bones (so bloody pain! i cried ok!), and then they put me on this massage machine and then stuck electrodes on to my back. after that the nurse taught me basic daily exercises i have to do, even teaching me a special method of getting up from my bed "

anyway it was rm130 for 2 hours first visit.

*

they also have this package to help you save money :
rm1k - 12 visits
rm2k - 26 visits
rm3k - 40 visits
rm4k - 56 visits

but i'm on the fence about it, so i'll go do some research before i commit first


p/s the doc is from usa

Dr Barry Kluner is a very nice doctor whom i've visited.
1st consultation is free if you print out the voucher from the website above.

It's in Sunway btw

i tot if u have back problems the best is to consult a physiotherapist first..

THANKS!

but his consultation hours are not feasible for me (working in klang, 6 days a week) by the time i drive to sunway his clinic will be closed d T_T

i guess i'll stick to the one in klang, he has pretty odd hours too, but at least twice a week he opens till 9pm

If i'm not wrong, Physiotherapist receive instructions from Orthopedic/Chiropractors before having rehabilitation programme started.

hey ... my fren ... I was also having this backbone problem .. which is why "I think" matter comes in ....


consulted Dr Ong (chiro at Maluri cheras ) with the question of "I think " .. he advised me for a Xray at pantai Indah hospital ...

then follow by 2nd visit to look at the xray ... ..glad that is NOT a Big problem ... some adjustment done on the "Table"

then follow by 3rd visit ( with advice and print out on how to do some light movement to build core muscle on stomach lower back area )
.. all in all about RM 500.00

bro, got any recommendation in jb? pls....

Hi, I don't know any chiropractors in JB. Singpapore has chiropractors but the charges are quite high

i earn ringgit but to spend dollar in singapore is quite unaffordable by me even the singaporean has a saying, "better die than sicks"

you may try www.chiropractor.com.my. I am not too sure whether Dr. Sandhu is still at the same location or not

i know of a taiwan chiropractitioner in usj 10, taipan...he charges rm80 per session

I never heard of any Taiwan chiropractor in Malaysia. He is most likely a Chinese sensai.

Chiropractors are all registered with the Ministry of Health. He is apparently not listed.

Yes, I've tried that before.
Free consultation and adjustment ( and yes, which means testing and touching involved. )

first consultation need to wear hospital robe one, the back area is all opened. so don't wear underwear with holes ya

i heard that a good chiropractor should only works using thier hands but not relying on those hi tech machines?
i have not been to one before but i thought that i want to bring my dad for consultation.. he has been having neck and shoulder pain for ages and it has turn into chronic pain now.. as it disturbs him from sleeping properly.

can someone (esp to the chiropractor) advise me which is the best doc in kl? and usually how many treatment is necessary in adjusting it? the reason why is we are not based in kl.. and im actually from london (just back in malaysia for few weeks holiday) but my dad is living in malaysia.

is the adjustment will be done during the first visit? and any xray is required?
oh btw he is having a mild hypertension (130/90)

thank you so much in advance for your kind reply.

BTW, how many session you'll need to follow up?

does anybody know of a female chiropractor in pj/cheras area?
i need to see one and my dad is quite worried bout the amount of touch involved

depends on what problems u have and how severe it is. initially i had to go three times a week, then two times a week, and now i only go when i feel pain


the chiropractor is for u? my chiro is a male, and he's very professional. sometimes male strength is needed especially when u have rigid bones that won't go back into place er and also there's a nurse present. after the first consultation, u can just wear pants and a tshirt

i guess =/
my dad used to go to a chiropractor as well so thats why he's worried lol

There is one near Tun Sambatan i think, Dr green if I have not remember wrongly, my Grandma used to go there

Ooo, so total you must have spent nearly 1K?
Actually my problem is backache when I was sleeping till I woke up.. but maybe it's my mattress. Maybe should shop for a new mattress first before going to the chiropractor. Wonders if can claim company insurance for that or not..

I have a question, does the Malaysian Ministry of Health allows the "Doctor" title to be used by chiropractors in Malaysia?

I have the following arguments regarding this matter that needs to explained:



I quote -
- source: http://medicine.com.my/2004_10_01_mmrarchive.html



I quote from MMC:


Malaysian Medical Council: http://mmc.gov.my/v1/docs/2008(15).pdf (Click it)



I quote again:



The New Zealand Medical Journal: Doctor Who? Inappropriate use of titles by some alternative “medicine” practitioners

Any chiropractors around? please explain.

yup spend alot of $$$ no buying shoes for awhile

what's ur sleeping position? if u sleep on ur back, then best to put a small pillow under the small of your back (your lower spine area). if you sleep on you side, then put a pillow or bolster between your legs.

i agree though, unless u're in a whole lot of pain, then don't bother with a chiro la my back pain for 5 years only i took the effort to go see doc

There are two types of chiropractors: 1) straight- only uses hand to adjust, philosophy is based on the same philosophy 100 years ago. They are subluxation based 2) mixer- not only using hands but also technologies and other deciplines of health care such as acupuncture, nutrition, herbology....etc. They are clinical based

In USA, Canada, more and more chiropractors are turning into mixer kinds. Just like other healthcare deciplines, chiropractors also evolve into more technological based. Myself I graduated from a Mixer-based school (National University of Health Sciences), and we are used to work side-by-side with medical doctors and other healthcare practitioners..

It is not necessarily true that "GOOD CHIROPRACTOR ONLY WORKS WITH THEIR HANDS". I would rather trust someone who can evolve over time and not sticking with the old rules and philosophy.

You may come to my place for a consultation free of charge. We only start charging when you decided to use our service.

X-ray is not required for the first time, but will refer you out for one if needed. Adjustment will be delivered in the first visit.

Added on May 5, 2009, 2:27 pmMinistry of Health Malaysia certainty don't allow chiropractors to put "DR." title in front of their names.

However, in USA, Canada, Australia, UK..etc. Most countries which recognizes chiropractors do allow the title "DR."

I had severe backache before. A friend recommend me to a blind man who operate blind massage centre at Pertama Complex. Been there for three times, and each visit I was charged RM45 per hour. But 1 hour massage was enough for each visit. I also bought massage chair for my use at home. Now my pain is gone. And I don't know to whom I should thanked to - the blind man or the massage chair. Or maybe I should thanked both

As you are practicing in Malaysia and as per Ministry of Health regulations regarding this matter:

Why do you still use the "Dr" title in front of your name (as seen in the website above)?

Did you remind your patient not to call you "Dr" as it will create confusion?


This post has been edited by CyberSetan: May 10 2009, 04:34 PM

My degree is obtained from USA as "Doctor of Chiropractic". I am using Dr. here simply because of the degree and most my patients although knowing MOH Malaysia don't recognize chiropractors as Dr., but they know we are legal Dr. in USA and Canada.

In Malaysia, only MD's are called Drs. It is biased.

I do know of one in Phileo Damansara. She was a kind and gentle lady. I only went for one visit. On the assumption she's still there, I might be able to retrieve the contact. Would you be interested in it? Shoot me a PM


@map, bear in mind that I have absolutely zero knowledge in medicine what more regarding the human spine, but from my experience with the people whom I personally know, scoliosis is something which patients should not joke around. Even if it costs an arm and a leg, I believe treatment is a necessity. Why do I say that? Because I know of a sweet old lady whom also suffers from scoliosis. Her condition is so bad that in about 2 to 3 years time, she will be wheelchair bound, unable to walk for the remaining years of her life.

Therefore if there is any chance to correct the unnatural growth of the spine, I do suggest it be done quickly in order not to end up wheelchair bound.

Tatsumaki, thanks.

I went to see my family MD with my xrays and funny enough he says that the chiropractors can't do anything about scoliosis except go for surgery and shave off a bone to release the pressure/pain.

To his credit, my chiro also says that the most effective way to treat scoliosis (for a person my age) is to shove a metal rod up my spine. Like what you said, he also warned me that if I kept applying pressure to my spine, it'll only get worse. -,-

I agree, scoliosis is serious business.

Oh hey, thanks for responding. So there is indeed treatment albeit it sounds really painful. I'm picturing bracers but for the bones. I guess this is a case of suffer now (short while) rather than suffer long term 30-40 years later ya?

yes there is a brace you can wrap around your body, but it costs rm12k so the chiro only recommends it for ppl with over 30degrees

oh well. every cloud has a silver lining. scoliosis patients are medically discouraged from doing push ups and sit ups now, or carry heavy objects. ohohohohoho

You'll be surprised with the misuse of the "Dr".

I met someone recently, and he calls himself "Dr". So I asked him, are you a medical doctor or a doctorate? He said " I'm a nutritionist!"


Seems like it's a good way of avoiding the odd jobs right? I'm sure you're good at commanding people around then.. "Hey move this object here, and there!" How bad is your scoliosis anyway? In degree terms..

based solely on avatar tag: Get the guys to do all the heavy weight work! That's all their only good for since they rarely use their brains to think!

You could try out Wah Toh Tit Tar.

It's in Puchong the one i usually go.
They have a few branches.

If not u could try out Oriental.
They are good, for me la.
Cuz i have been going there since when i was younger.

It's a family business actually.
Actual prices it varies tho!
Depends on the body parts.

This is the Wah Toh's website http://www.wahtohtittar.com/
just a brief explanation what im trying to convey to you.

They have another branch in Cheras or something.
I always look for Chris, my god brother la..
He's good..

There's this Oriental Chiropractor thingy in Seapark..
Near Shell station there... u will be able to see one laa..

i have scoliosis. my back started to hurt this few months. does the session painful?

i know this thread has been abandoned for quite awhile...

but i hope to know is there still any chiropractor in kl area who give 1st free consultation ? coz i just have unbalance shoulder bone length and chest bone... it doesnt hurt... so i dont want to get charged so much but i scare the problem will become worst...

thanks in advance...

I got so several injuries due to extreme sports. I have injuries at several areas such as left ankle, both side of knees, right wrist, neck, left shoulder and fingers. Lately I start to feel my spine is a bit misalignment maybe because of too much extreme sliding when playing Paintball or maybe it happened since I had ankle injury since 2 years ago (latest). So, when I was tempang, I walk a bit senget to reduce the pain for about many months. Maybe, this is also a factor. I’m not too sure because I’m not a doctor. From my history, I rarely go see the doctor even I had the injury.

I was wondering is chiropractor can help to fix my problem. Let say if my backbone is senget, after doing the adjustment, can I become taller? You know when the backhone is senget, sure the height become less than the original position.

What do you call people who have PhDs? Fake doctors?

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is not the same as a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) which is also not the same as a Medical Doctor (MD)

DC (Doctor of Chiropractic ) is a degree offered in USA, and Canada.

There are many types of Doctors. MD is not the only Doctor. Malaysians are educated and brainwashed to believe that Doctor's must give medicines, which is totally wrong.

There are ND (Naturopathic doctor), DPT (Doctor of Physiotherapy), DO (Doctor of Osteopath), DC (Doctor of Chiropractic), DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery).....etc

What is the definitoin of Doctor? Somebody who can make diagnosis and decide on the course of treatment.

Chiropractor's are definitely not fake doctors. However, a real chiropractor must be educated in USA, Canada, Australia, SOuth Africa, Europe.. CCE accredited chiropractic schools. In USA, there are 70000 doctor of chiropractics. in Canada, there is 10000.

We are totally qualified and recognized as Doctors in USA, Australia, and Canada.

THis is MALAYSIA.

hi...

i think i have same problem with the thread starter. do anybody know if we can get advice from doctor in hospital. i have medical card...tot of using it...and get a referral letter from GP first. but not sure to whom i should be referred to... do hosp. have CHIROPRACTOR? thanks

Hi...
A question here, does anyone having posture problems and seek for a chiropractor?
How many sessions are needed before you can totally recovered?
Isn't it one should be enough?

About 60 yuan per hour，in China.

My personal opinion, don't need to spend money on them unless you can afford to go to the best people.

For example, there is one old man in Thailand, really good, used to treat the king. But I can't afford it, the time and flight fares.

I believe you can find such people here in Malaysia, but perhaps not as experienced.

For example, one of the famous chain store here in Malaysia, I would try to catch an appointment with the boss instead, won't go near any of the pupils if I have major problem, probably settle for them only for small problems.

And NO, one is never enough. There's no quick fix. It's all slow process with many factors involved, including personal discipline and determination.

On the other hand, I'd recommend you take Pilates. I know a trainer personally, and I've tried both mat classes and also those with equipment. Mat classes are cheaper, just like yoga mat classes. But if you've got the money to spare, you can go for one-on-one sessions with equipments. I'd say it's really good, especially the equipment sessions.

Posture problem is not about bone problem (usually). It's about your own discipline, and training up the muscles that support you.

there is malaysia la.... find with those for certificates for it....

Hi. I just went to see a chiropractor in penang near GAMA(dr. cheah). He charges RM400+ per session. He said the complete package is rm 2k+. He uses a pen or chopstick to do the therapy. FYI, I walked out of the shop right away. Is it a scam? Thanks

wow, seems like a lot of recommendations and flame going here.

Just saw this inversion table at mid valley last weekend, tried it for 2-3 minutes but didn't really feel any improvement. My back is not really painful, but just really tight sometimes and easily sprained. Always end up cracking my neck and back, which scares my wife. Will be going to one of these first before investing rm2k on the inversion table.

Your post entry was very informative. This post is truly amazing, thank you very much for your effort.

kinda expensive, its better to cure it ASAP before getting age

eh how much to do tit tar ?

i have degenarative disc ... can a chiropractor heal that ?

anyone knows any good chiro who is specialise in the upper cervical care? especially the c1-c3 region, preerably NUCCA / gentle method used, without cracking or popping or twisting the neck around.

change your bed?

Nope, not about bed. I would like them to help me adjust my upper cervical c1-c3 area gently without those scary cracking and popping and twisting, as ive been to those chiropractors who practice it. And then i think he over did it, and now im in pain on my right side, with muscles strained (pulling all the way from the head, eye, jaw, tooth, neck, shoulder and arm - on one side on the right which i never experienced b4) .

I have several symptoms (imbalance / dizziness/ blurry vision & inability to focus my eyes on objects/ headaches/ tinnitus/ acid reflux/ indigestion/ bloatedness/ belching) which suspected could be due to the upper cervical (c1-c3 region) and if possible, it would be best if the chiropractors have subluxation device to confirm it.

Any chiropractors here to answer my questions?

I thought chiropractors are more involved in pain management; didn't know they could treat spine problems and scoliosis.

This post has been edited by TinyPumpkin: Feb 9 2012, 09:48 PM

I checked on all the names of chiropractics mentioned above at the Medical Register at MOH website. None of them are on the list. Why is that so?

Currently, chiropractic is not regulated by law in malaysia, unlike how established it is in the US, Canada, Australia, etc. Hence, there is a proliferation of people out there claiming to be chiropractors without actually having the proper credentials.

Other than that, much like other complementary medicine, its grouped under Complementary Medicine under Malaysian law, if i'm not mistaken.

Hi,
I would really recommend you to try a few physiotherapy treatment before you proceed to chiro.

Thank you.

I have lower back pain whenever I sweep or mop the floor after a few minutes. I also can't carry load on my shoulder (e.g. backpack, heavy groceries, etc) for a longer period of time. Do you think I should go for a chiroprator to seek treatment? It has been bothering me for a couple of years.

This post has been edited by yinsw: Apr 10 2012, 02:34 PM

Yep, you should. Don't be discouraged that you don't get well in just one treatment. Follow-up with your treatment and really see if there's improvement or not. If not, consult your chiropractor for further advice.

tell me about the symptoms u had (imbalance/dizziness/blurry vision)? when did it start? and how it relates to chiropractic?

i had some issues of balance/dizziness too until today. did mri - turn out ok. so not sure what to do now.
now i had the feeling of heat behind my neck.

need to consult one soon.

Hey sorry for the late reply am not too familiar with low yat, didnt know how to retrieve the posts ive posted.
Well, it all started with some breathing difficulty at first without me knowing what's the cause and reasons to it, and i got better all of a sudden, free from that breathing problem and a month later it appeared again after taking coffee, which i ve nvr taken b4, cz i know whenever i take even just a tiny sip, ill get immediate headache, which wasnt diagnosed accurately but was told its migraine.

I used to be in the medical field b4 i quit my job due to these symptoms which bother me. Months later after the breathing problem, i have stomach issue, keep feeling hungry yet nauseated and i cant take much food, although i feel hungry all the time, its like my food were never gone into the stomach, but i just couldnt put anymore in. Was on PPI (Controlloc 40 mg) for 2-3 mths (no more nausea) and doctor finally gave me a diagnosis; Acid Reflux (by an ENT Surgeon), after all the hassles even going for an endoscopy and colonoscopy which was done by an irresponsible doctor at Gleneagles, without any real diagnosis too, bcoz he didnt send my tissue to the lab for biopsy. I wonder what was wrong with him though, a night stay and it cost me RM 5,000. He really is cutting patient's throat with that highly priced procedures which are incomplete and i was required to do another time of both endo n colon scope which i refused to, by another gastroenterologist. accordingly, the tissues taken from the stomach should be sent to the lab for test.

Well, forget about that, back to the symptoms. Immediately after the scopes, the very next day, i started having dizziness, very bad nausea, blurry vision. Until i almost fainted.

And i have been living like that without help, not at all from any of the specialists, and ive been to many that wasted lots of money on them without a proper diagnosis instead they refered me to a psychiatrist. And was told that im having some anxiety / panic attack which caused me those symptoms. Still i didnt give up even my mom feels the same and agreed to what the doctors said about me. I refused to take those medications. And i quit my job and rested at home while looking for remedies online and find ways to get my symptoms off.

Been to many chiropractors, which didnt help until i met one, Dr Michael Chan. He is the one who managed to help me. Within the 6 adjustments period, i have seen improvements, which was good. I stopped driving & working because of my symptoms and now i could drive back again because of Dr Michael's adjustments. He found three areas on my spine, C1, T4 and Sacrum and he fixes those area for me. And i have temporarily stopped because i was down with dengue, followed by tooth infection and now ovarian cyst, but im going back to him again to complete my treatment.

He was very confident that he could help me because accordingly he has seen many of such cases in Australia. He is a Gonstead Chiropractor. Therefore, his adjustment is very quick & precise on the area of subluxation only. In Gonstead believe they will correct only the area of subluxation. “Find the subluxation, accept it where you find it, correct it and leave it alone.”
– C.S. Gonstead

What about your symptoms? How did it all started and what have u tried and what have you not? What did the doctors said about you?

Added on May 12, 2012, 10:34 pmHi Yin,

Have u did any imaging b4?

Well, i would suggest u to a chiropractor but frankly speaking, there are not many professional ones in Malaysia.
I have been to a few and they caused me great discomforts / ill, on and off with manual adjustments. One of them even caused my neck sprained that lasted for like a month or so until i seek another chiro who helped adjust it back for me and finally im free from it.

So far, ive tried out 4 chiro's. 1 of them is a Gonstead chiropractor, well... he was fine at first, and i thought i have found the right person, didnt expect that the adjustments for several visits, 8 times wasnt too consistent. For a week, wow i feel superb however the next following adjustment, wow, it sucks! Was improving and just with one other adjustment, all the symptoms are back again.

So finally i am consulting a lady chiropractor whom so far gave me great adjustments with her Activator method. Unfortunately, out of the 4 chiropractors, 2 of them didnt managed to give me an actual diagnosis.

The Gonstead chiro, gave me his diagnosis which contradicts to the lady chiropractor which im seeing now.

Im very concern now of the actual diagnosis, to which is the correct one to help in my problem, because my upper cervical spine is most likely affected. With MRI it was seen, but most chiropractors dont look at the MRI pictures.

Have u seen any btw? How was it?

There are two types of chiropractors: 1) straight- only uses hand to adjust, philosophy is based on the same philosophy 100 years ago. They are subluxation based 2) mixer- not only using hands but also technologies and other deciplines of health care such as acupuncture, nutrition, herbology....etc. They are clinical based

In USA, Canada, more and more chiropractors are turning into mixer kinds. Just like other healthcare deciplines, chiropractors also evolve into more technological based. Myself I graduated from a Mixer-based school (National University of Health Sciences), and we are used to work side-by-side with medical doctors and other healthcare practitioners..

It is not necessarily true that "GOOD CHIROPRACTOR ONLY WORKS WITH THEIR HANDS". I would rather trust someone who can evolve over time and not sticking with the old rules and philosophy.

You may come to my place for a consultation free of charge. We only start charging when you decided to use our service.

X-ray is not required for the first time, but will refer you out for one if needed. Adjustment will be delivered in the first visit.

Hi,

Would like to know what sort of techniques are your speciality? And what do u use to diagnose and detect subluxations? Purely by palpation or any devices used?
Do u have the paraspinal digital thermal scanner?
