I may need to see a chiropractor in Bangkok, does anyone know or had experience with any good chiropractors in Bangkok ? I dont want someone that will give me drugs or injections, I want a corrective chiropractor, someone who knows what their doing, uses x rays, etc ..

I went for the first time last week to Dspine who have several branches in Bangkok.
In The reception area, there are posters to show how much taller your chiropractor can make you - maybe with posture but not anything else.
I see the doctor and try and explain my recent medical history and what I have been diagnosed with. American Doctor says they are all labels and did not want to hear anymore. In fact, he came across very dismissive about any condition I had. He cracked my neck, used some kind a staple like instrument on my back, it lasted no more than 10 mins before he sent me to a resting area for another 10 mins. Cost 3000
Baht.

did he x ray you ? how do you feel now ?

Chiropractors as far as I know do not use x-rays. Answer is no.
Do I feel better after seeing him? Answer is NO and 3000 Baht poorer, not that I mind paying but needs to be worthwhile.

Do not see a chiro without first seeing a good ortho spine specialist and finding out (1) what the problem is and (2) whether spinal manipulations are safe for you and any restrictions on it. If you have structural spinal problems manipulation could make it vastly worse.

 

As for chiros, most here do not even look at XRays or scans even if you bring them with you and some are not really trained/certified chiros in the Western sense so research and verify qualifications carefully.
