How much does a chiropractic session cost in Malaysia?
- Generally, Chiropractic sessions in Malaysia generally cost around RM70 - RM200 per session with each duration ranging from a quick 10 minutes to half an hour.
- To be frank, the cost depends on the types of treatment being administered as well as equipment used for physiotherapy treatments in a session.
- For example, the use of facilities like ultrasound and EMS therapy would naturally reflect in a higher bill.
Nevertheless, many chiropractic clinics nowadays offer an assortment of packages with different price points to cater to different needs and budgets.
With professional chiropractic care now made accessible to the public, it is time to say goodbye to those painkillers and get your back problems sorted once and for all.
What type of pain do chiropractors treat?
As elaborated by Dr Goh, chiropractors typically treat all sorts of pain that is related to the spine and joints in the body.
- The parts applicable include but is not limited to lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, ankle pain.
- Besides that, Dr Goh explained that nerve-related issues such as sciatica, numbness, migraines/headaches and referred pain are problems that can be solved by chiropractors too.
- This is because the above-mentioned illness often arises from issues related to the spine.
Is chiropractic treatment effective, or simply just a temporary fix?
To simply put, Chiropractic is meant to be corrective. That being said, it is intended to be a long-term, permanent solution that is built upon each correction session.
- It's important to note, however, that this may not be the case for all individuals, as the outcome varies depending on the severity of joint damage/wear and tear.
- But one thing is certain: chiropractic care aims to solve the root cause of the problem, rather than merely relieving the pain temporarily like what most people assume.

What typically happens during chiropractic adjustments?
As explained by Dr Goh, here’s what you should expect to happen during your chiropractic adjustment:
- A standard professional chiropractic session should involve the chiropractor checking for problems.
- The attending chiropractor should be able to explain and relate how the problem they discovered is related to the pain or symptom patients are experiencing.
- Adjustments are made in a quiet and relaxed manner, with only a single "crack" or "pop" heard by the patient.
Patients can rest assured that when it comes to discovering and fixing the root cause, accuracy and precision are critical. Hence, you can count on your licensed chiropractor to do all the job for you!
How often will I have to see my chiropractor?
This is dependent on the person's lifestyle, the extent of the impairment, and age. Some people may require more regular visits, while others may require less.
A healthy, non-symptomatic person should see a chiropractor for a check-up and routine alignment once every 1-2 months. A regular check-up and adjustment will help to preserve the spine's integrity and health, preventing or minimising the risk of damage and injury.
