Chiropractors in Sg

Just to Share:

Was told by my GP that Chiropractors are not a recognized field in Singapore and I should go to a orthopedic specialist instead. I have a disc protrusion on L5 and a crack L6 spine. :P

not MOH-regulated, just self-regulated..
your GP is correct to refer you to a orthopedic specialist for your problem..

WHY DOESN'T MOH REGULATE THE INDUSTRY?

MOH: Chiropractic is a form of complementary and alternative medicine. Hence, chiropractors are not registered medical practitioners or TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) practitioners.
Although not statutorily regulated, chiropractors are subject to laws from other regulations eg. Medicines Act, Sale of Drugs Act, Poisons Act, Business Registration Act and Companies Act.

WHAT CONDITIONS HAVE TO BE MET FOR MOH TO STEP IN TO REGULATE THE CHIROPRACTIC INDUSTRY?

MOH: Chiropractors should continue to self-regulate the profession.
The Chiropractic Association (Singapore) has developed a code of practice, ethics and advertising guidelines for the profession and encourages chiropractors to abide by these codes.

WHAT REDRESS DO UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS HAVE?
MOH: Consumers can write to the Consumers Association of Singapore (when there are disputes due to) misleading advertising and sale of treatment packages.
Patients and their caregivers are advised to exercise due diligence and consult appropriate health-care practitioners for their medical problems.

When in doubt, they should consult a registered medical practitioner.

Yes yr GP is correct. But he's saying it as a registered medical doc. Likewise, your GP or any medical doc will not tell you to go to TCM or take TCM herbs. They don't believe in alternative medication. They are like this because they wan to protect their own ricebowl.

It's up to you to try alternative. Chiro is v common in western countries. But u better find a good one.

You are right donut. There have been people that have gotten better from a lot of things other than the medical way. I think the important thing is to try something first before making judgement.
The best thing to do is do the safest and natural way first. Many people have gotten rid of their cancer with TCM, Nutrition, Psychotherapy. There's never just one way to solve a problem.

I assume if something is man-made its probably not good for you. You should only take it if you really don't have a choice after looking for alternatives.

Suggest you try Physio8 at Far East Shopping Center for your slipped disc. The Physio therapist has helped my condition improve and now I am able to lead a normal life. (Or be it with some precaution).

Hope you feel better soon.
