Hi all,
I have a chronic back pain for more than 5 years and I asked my GP to do a spinal xray few months ago. Looking at my xray, my GP said that I have a slight scoliosis and that's normal. I'm not quite happy with what he said, as the pain keeps bothering me.
Then I decided to seek a 2nd opinion from a chinese massage therapist and he said that my scoliosis causes pain & discomfort on my back and he said that if I dont seek ongoing treatment, it will get worse. He has been doing spinal manipulation like a chiropractor does, combined with acupuncture and back massage. The pain is significantly decreased, but after few days, the pain comes back again.
The problem is, I need to spend lots of money for his ongoing treatment ($70 per visit).
FYI, I go to the gym and do some exercises as advised by physiotherapist.
I would like to get a 2nd opinion from a chiropractor. Does anyone know a good chiropractor in Melbourne? some people say chiropractor is not good because they make you coming back to them. But, I would like to give it a try for few visits.
Thank you so much. I'm really desperate, because I have spent lots of money to heal my back :(
