I have been reading articles on the damage and injury caused by chiropractors and other such to the spine because of "treatments" and I personally would not use any such services. Best to consult your GP and work with a qualified physiotherapist if needed.Stevie_W wrote:Has anyone heard of this place?
Does anyone know about it?
Anyone had any treatment here?
I've had long term pains in my neck and shoulders for a long time, and i went over there yesterday just to have a consultation and see what they could do for me. Now i'm no medic, but some of the stuff the consultant told me about how i moved seemed to ring true and other stuff i just wasn't even aware of.
During the consultation he kept stressing how important it was to get treatment now as otherwise over time i'm going to be getting curvature of the spine (apparently i already have that a bit) and scoliosis, but he didn't really offer too much information on how the treatment worked. All i managed to find out was that it would be some form of therapy, like physio, but not exactly the same.
Well, his recommendation was to put me through a course of 80 treatments, each treatment being a half hour session and costing S$70, so a total of S$5600.
OK. So if something did happen to me, it would probably cost a lot more than this to get operated on without any of the rehab included. But having come from the UK and being used to free NHS treatment, and being a bit of a tight wad when it comes to stuff like this, i am a bit reluctant to pay this amount of money for something i don't know anything about. Plus, if it did just end up being like physio treatment, then it's going to be quite an expensive course of physio...................i think, as i don't really know how much physio costs here.

Don't get me started on that! I go to a well known spa chain and I HAVE a (not cheap) package with them which I purchased 3 months ago. I go once a month and on EVERY single occasion they have tried to sell me another package or promotion after my treatment! The saleswomen are really pushy and I find dealing with them stressful! Defeats the purpose of going for a relaxation treatment.Max Headroom wrote:They don't half love to sell packages here!
Last week I went into a spa to get a massage voucher for my wife for one exclusive treatment. I think the lady asked me 6 or 7 times if I wouldn't prefer a package. Damn annoying. I wonder if anyone ever says "yes please" after declining half a dozen times first.
Sorry, I digress.
