I was thinking to go to the Chiro in Empire Subang.  How much is the rage of cost per visit there?

The first manual check up is free (for my girlfriendcase). If they suspected something wrong, they will recommend you to take x-ray in Sunway hospital, cost RM180 to 200.

The doctor will quote you the treatment fees in your second visit. Likely to be in the package form that last for few months or a year that costs you few thousand, depending on the treatment needed.

It is definitely more expensive than the rate in the market but some far my girl friend feels better.

I can't comment whether other chiro who charged lower can provide the same level of treatment in terms of effectiveness or not.....Because we already feel comfortable with this doctor and sometimes the clinic was packed.

So it is your choice. Good luck!! smile.gif

Hi everyone
My name Is Mehdi and I'm from Persia.
Like many of you I experienced back and neck pain, discomfort in my hands and shoulders and bad quality sleep.

So decided to go to a chiropractor but after researching about its benefits and risks, I realized that There are things that chiropractors do not tell you.
I'm not here to name it all but one that got my attention was the risk of a acute cerebellar infarction due to manipulation of neck.(simply a deadly stroke).
the reason is moving neck in certain positions can cause a tear  in your Artery, which basically it tries to heal with the cloth, the cloth can then break of and travel into the vessel and become too small and then eventually cause stroke.

I strongly suggest young people don't think about chiropractic if you do do not let the doctor to go for your neck.

Anyways after watching this video i forgot about all my pains and adopted myself to my current lifestyle and pain and whatsoever shit that is happening around me .

Be Strong Try to be friend to Pain
is not that bad.

Fear is worst than pain. biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

I don't have the statistic on the chiro effectiveness vs the side effect. But everything there is a risk, it depends on the doctor skills. But I can see many chiropractic clinics in Australia when I was there.

Pain is telling us there is something wrong in our body system. Leaving the symptom untreated is not the solution, it is painful and can get worst in the long run.

Some people opt for hospital operations to correct their pain, the risks is even greater, more uncomfortable and costly as well.

He is one of the experience gonstead but i dun like the way he do biz with his skills.

Even before any adjustment he alrdy asked u to sign up for packages! And that cost u a bomb 3k!! What the heck!!

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!

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.

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.

More chiro will be graduating from IMU in future.

Strongly believe the course will be more popular for student in future.

just went to DMC for checking and she suspecting i have a spinal dysfunction and require xray before confirming anything.

anyone have experience with DMC? how about the charges?

You may proceed with the X-ray test and bring the result back to them for analysis and consultation. Certain amount fees is payable to the hospital.

After the consultation they like to suggest a package to you. It is up to you to accept it.

Or you can said you need time to consider and bring the x Ray result to other chiropractic or doctors for second opinion.

We need a good doctor who can cure our spine issue. Cost is secondary important IMO.

yes will visit them tomorrow with my xray

i am not sure they are good or not but they sure have lot of reviews in the internet hmm.gif

All I can said is that Dr mike is the most experienced doctor there. Everyone have different opinion.

Do expect long term treatment is required, i. e., regular maintenance is needed even after the your spine has rectified so that it does not go back to bad shape again.

Lots of new chiropractic Centre have been opened in various part of Klang Valley.

Can see the popularity of the practice among Malaysian nowadays.

Personally I prefer not to get tie up with the packages

Don’t like the doctor just move on to other chiropractors
