brucegoniners Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I have a question for expats in Pattaya. If there was a top flight chiropractor in town would you be likely to do business with them? Personally I’ve been frustrated by the lack of a quality chiropractor in town. In Bangkok there are many. I’ve only found one crusty old guy who I didn’t like at all. And for for those who recommended physical therapy, that is very different from chiropractic. So please address the question. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Isn't that the sort of thing they do in hospitals here? I have never had anything to do with a chiropractor so the question doesn't really concern me personally (yet).

Good ones work minor miracles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liddelljohn Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 David Pack was superb but he seems to have retired ??? Another alternative to Chiropractor is Docksen ,, a special manipulative tyrpe of Thai massage ,, My wife is a skilled practitioner it takes many years of training ,, not like normal Thai massage ,, beware if done wrong it can make things worse ,, when I put my back out last year the Pattaya Bangkok hospital only could offer Pain killers and injections , David pack was unavailable ,, needed a proper chiropractor as i was crippled and in agony for 4 weeks ,, Than my wife did several sessions of Docksen over 3 weeks about 1 hour each and I was soon back to normal ,, To be honest i was sceptical but its worked , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 They are life savers for me been seeing them for 30 years. Could not find one in Pats. I went to Packs' house and noone answered. Saw one guy he just massaged had no idea about manipulation. I got a ride to bkk Soi 13 and saw a US Chiro. Spent a couple days in town he popped me good the second day ( low back) and I was so relieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is Nigel in soi Kopai, but he is not really a chiro and also new Russian guy, but he is more of a physio than a chiro, from memory on facebook he is something like wellness motion, or motion by wellness. Can try to dig him up if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can do and it could also potentially make it worse depending how attuned they are to you. I saw a chiropracter in the UK a few weeks ago for a tune up and he was recommending Thai massage to help with some issues that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
