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.

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?

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?

you could check out bangsar chiropractic. google and u will be able to read more about it and from there you could make an appointment to see the chiro. :-)

anyone here tried out IMU chiro dr tinsley? a lecturer in IMU.....

So far I've nvr heard of insurance co that allows claims for chiro treatment unless u r paying an additional fee for that extra treatment like chiro n tit tar only cover accidents or trauma injuries but not the normal backaches or undiagnosed medical issues.

Added on November 20, 2012, 6:13 pmAll chiropractors treat the spines and scoliosis is inclusive of d spine. Therefore u need to survey n find out a good professional chiro which is quite difficult to find in Malaysia.

Of all d chiro's I've been I could recommend few only and it depends on what sort of probs or symptoms that u r facing to be more specific. Well first of all for your case I do think the chiro's will have to have a peek of ur x ray and from there they determine the type of treatment suitable for me.

Added on November 20, 2012, 6:17 pmI think chiropractors in Malaysia are not recognized as a medical doctor. They do not carry the title as a doctor in Malaysia where by in countries like the US and australia they are certified as a doctor of chiropractic n they can be called as a doctor there.

Need reviews for two chiros

Dr eric woo ss2 premier
Dr ricky lau gamuda walk (previously at bdr utama)

Eric i think more of a diversified where else ricky is somehow gonstead + mixtures of others.

Anybody seen them n how was it?

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!!

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!

Its quite a subjective question.. 😅

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..

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 go to him bcz of acute injury, for my twisted knee which he did helped me in my back before.

Dr ian is in australia for your info. If he is here i'd definitely see him for sure. My fren had made an app with dr ian his earliest slot is next yr may.

Kit is d newly graduated imu student whom mike hired

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.
