You should start a few threads on chiropractic topics. Especially the tips on how to correct a bad posture. Hahha

It seems like chiropractors are frowned upon in Singapore by quite a number of doctors... I wonder why <_<

cause chiropractors make medical doctors go out of business. medical doctors need to sell drugs and perform surgery to make money. while chiropractors make simple changes in the persons life alongside with specific chiropractic adjustments to improve the function and self-healing powers of the body.

Simple changes in a person's body? What kind of changes?

Postural adjusts et cetera. They also provide physiotherapy if I'm not mistaken.

for example after viewing of xrays there might be a one leg longer than the other problem which can be simply solved by the addition of an heel lift. this will push the pelvis back into balance in turn correcting spine rotation or scoliosis.

a cheap 5 dollar solution which medical doctors will freely provide pain killers to relieve the symptoms or recommend surgery.

hmm the chiropractic clinic i work at doesnt provide physiotherapy.

And may I know where's that? I had what they considered a 'mild' case of scoliosis although it has kind of resulted in an uneven growth of my erector spinae (right side being thicker and usually tighter) muscles. Was wondering if there was something I could do to set it back on path. Although that might take a long time, years even, to correct the existing imbalance

let me save u 500 bucks.

right side thicker muscles is due to the body trying to correct itself. means yr spine is twisting to yr left. probably due to a high right pelvis. which in turn is due to a higher right leg. lie down on a bed and get someone to align you perpendicular to each other and slightly pull yr ankles side by side. see if theres a higher leg.

well since u said it was mild theres probably no need to correct it. because none of us are born perfect and have a little twist or rotation here and there. unless u have other symptoms affecting your lifestyle.

Actually it's twisted to the right when they did a check-up during my school times. Whenever I lift things up off the floor or just plain holding them, my body slants to the right. So... I don't know how that works. And my right pelvis is higher
