QUOTE(fnm83 @ Jul 24 2015, 08:43 PM) I am/was a TAGS Cheras patient, basically they are well equipped and the charges are pretty standard ( means high ). Expect to pay RM 120-150 per visit for chiro only, DTS and physio are charged separately. If you sign package, it'll be about 15-20% cheaper.Nowadays there are more chiros around, but they still maintain a over RM100 charge per visit.... personally if there are more demands and supplies for chiro, think the prices will go down to 60-80 (my ideal payment per visit) PS: Not all chiros are experienced, so are newbies, they may make matters worse.... some chiros are pretty but they do not have the strength to 'adjust' you properly, end up you pay RM 120 for the pretty chiro to 'raba-raba' you. TAGS Cheras : (my personal opinion) Ask for Dr Hayden, bu this appointments are the fullest and longest. or try Dr Marlon, avarage to good. |

QUOTE(fnm83 @ Jul 25 2015, 05:03 PM) Thank you friend. Will give them a call next week. I think Dr Christine (TAGS) was inexperienced when I first visited her (2012).Both doctors u mentioned are male? I dont want useless pretty chiro.i want reliable chiro. Muka tembok also doesn't matter as long as can get my joint heal. The only reliable female chiro I used to go to left TAGS, now in my Spine centre (a branch in Seri Petaling) Dr Teo Lili. I think if you are first timer to TAGS Cheras, go see Hayden 1st. |

QUOTE(eelynsoon @ Dec 26 2015, 01:18 AM) 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. |

What are the Charges ?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. |

In that package, I need to attend 3 types of package. a) Decompression therapy system (DTS) - 24 session. b) Physical therapy - 24 session c) Rehabilitation - 24 session All this within 3-4 months based on my availability/ commitment. In dilemma. Maybe I need to survey another place. What's your problem bro ? Mine was L4/L5 |

QUOTE(ed0gawa @ Mar 1 2016, 06:06 PM) Calling yourself 'victim' sounds like you got cheated or something wor I called myself 'victim' and not victim, basically it depends on how they advise you.I also just went to Tags Kuching. My treatment cost 3.3k 12* Chiro (plus 2 foc) 24* Physiotherapy (plus 4 foc) Dragged my back problems for too many years, regretting why I didn't seek treatment earlier. The thing is, even without actually getting injured, many (especially urban) people have back pain one way or another, due to lifestyle. Getting enough exercise, good posture and getting a 'crack' once a while from the chiro is good. But many of these centres wants your $$$, they'll tell you all the packages that you may not really need, tie you down long term. BTW, do remember to used up all your treatment in 12 months, if not they'll forfeit it. Just treat your physiotherapy sessions as personal training session. If you got a pretty/handsome therapist, then considered it a BONUS |

QUOTE(idealhometech @ Apr 22 2016, 12:44 PM) We can't claim the chiro treatment fee because insurance company not recognized them as doctor right? This I know.Chiro are not insurance claimable. Insurance certified physio are, if only they incorporate chiro in it. But like me, I had claim physio treatments before, now the insurance no longer want to insure my back. |

QUOTE(ju146 @ Feb 26 2017, 02:21 PM) sorry for resurrecting your own post. I went to a chiro and the doctor said i need 36 session to adjust my neck. Based on the X-Ray, my neck is bending forward which mean they need to adjust it backward to gain the 'C-shape'. But the question is, does it really need up to 36 sessions? It is something like 3 times a week. Bro, if you want my opinion, all chiros in Malaysia will ask you to take up "packages". That way, you are committed to them long term, it makes business sense to them.Chiropractors are very common in other countries, here.... they seem to be premium service, so they CHARGE like mad. Many companies also hire Foreigners so they get to charge more. But overall, prices are coming down. Now, if you ask me, (don't get offended bro) many people are not getting enough exercise and we are constantly slouching looking at smartphones. I'm too, but now I try to be aware of it, and constantly stretches. I have spent alot, I can only advise those who want cheaper and effective treatment. What I am doing is called pain management.... |

QUOTE(ju146 @ Feb 27 2017, 12:03 PM) Thanks bro. Honestly for now, I don't feel any pain on my neck. It is just sometime I feel stiffness after long day of work. Didn't expect the X-Ray interpretation turn out to the that bad. Ah, but don't wait till you are in pain only remedy it. Am thinking to bring my X ray to normal GP and see what they talk from other perspective than Chiro (Don't get offended) You might have posture problem, and if you are in 20s or 30s. When you're older, it would be more difficult to remedy. If you have time to spare, go to IMU Community Centre in S.Park Desa Petaling. It is RM 45.00 not inclusive GST. Tell them it is your first time, they have to ask alot of question. Bring your Xray. Ask to see Dr Quin Pee, you may think she's has little experience. I find her very good in fixing neck. (I can tell you by experience cos I have been treated by many chiros) Usually I go get cracked by her like once a month or so (pain management). Bonus: She's cute |

QUOTE(yo_yo @ Feb 27 2017, 01:27 PM) since you mentioned Dr Quin Pee is good, i may give her a go. i once went to imu main campus at bukit jalil and i didn't like the assigned chiro. for some reasons he only wanted to focus on my complaint area and skipped my other body parts. and it was rm100! Graduate chiros are being assigned (maybe it is their internship) to Desa Petaling. I haven't seen students. (Plus I do not want students to twist my neck)are the chiro students doing their practical at desa petaling centre? It is all up to individuals, some people may like stronger chiros. |

QUOTE(backwellness @ Feb 27 2017, 11:19 PM) Actually not all chiros in Malaysia practice the "package" style. It all depends on the area (high-class/expat area at Hartamas would logically cost more), and the style of practice (the more hardsell the business practice usually means more expensive). Totally agree with what you have said. I assume you are a chiro yourself.There are pros and cons about packages. Its easy to pinpoint the chiro and say that the clinic is business-minded and wants to buy your long-term commitment by selling you a thousand dollar package, but what most people fail to understand is that chiro treatments are not one or two-time treatments, some patients may require 6-8 visits, some may require 12-16 visits for full recovery and it all depends on the patient's condition. However, the mindset of most people is that if they get better after 2-3 visits, they wouldn't return for further visits anymore as they think that they've recovered. But since their condition hasn't fully resolved yet, their pain would return after awhile, and they would mistakenly think that chiropractic didn't help them, but in truth, it is the patient who didn't finish his entire course of treatments. It's akin to a person who is prescribed a 7-day antibiotic course but he stops after the third day as he feels that he has recovered, but in fact, he hasn't. But of course, the cons about packages is that it doesn't guarantee that you'll recover in xx amount of sessions. What if you don't recover in 36 sessions? Are you gonna ask for a refund? Packages actually pose an ethical dilemma in such cases. Personally, I don't sell packages because of this ethical dilemma. But I try to help my patients understand that it requires time for recovery, and not just 2-3 times I would be able to fix their issue. While patients mindset needs to be changed, Clinics should also know not everyone can afford Packages that cost Bomb if not a Grenade. Imagine spending RM100++ every week (at least), and non insurance claimable, and non tax deductable (I just put in la, if Income Tax want to see, I show them the Invoices). you Most (not all bro) chiro will tell you after overcoming the pain stage, you must sign up their physio packages. And most of these treatments can only be undergone during office hours. Now for a layman, how many will have enough MC and leaves to go through this. It happened to me, that's why I'm sharing it here. I also know many not well to do with back pain will only take pain killers or go for injections when the pain comes back. |

I merely suggest alternative pain management:
Gym membership (now tax deductable) and don't go for the super fancy expensive one la. Visit to local chiro (RM45-120) once a month to get adjusted. For those who can afford it, by all means sign up those packages. Those chiro and staffs also need to makan one. |

You're diagnosed.... by who ?
Just curious, whoever that was, can't s/he write a medical report supporting your deferment? This post has been edited by citiranger: Apr 17 2017, 04:29 PM |

QUOTE(clement8 @ Jan 22 2018, 11:05 PM) Need advice, during my schooling days i used to play softball, and the action of throwing the ball actually caused pain to my shoulder joints. Even till today (after 10 years), i will feel the pain after some badminton session. usually can this be fixed by a chiro in 1 / 2 sessions and without signing up for a package? Usually how much does it cost per session? Seriously, and seriously....Do you think something that has already been bothering you for 10 years can be treated in 1 or 2 sessions ? Even Pro Players like Roger Federer or Rafa Nadal took long medical leaves , that with their resources. Go seeks medical advise la... Most probably you can choose either to continue live with the pain, Or have to go through treatment for at least a few months. How much? Ask the doctor. By the way, Government hospitals also can, if you have the time to wait. I apologise if you feel offended. |
