What Are Physiotherapy Costs Like In Kuala Lumpur?
The cost of physiotherapy changes from center to center. Competing centers may charge RM150 to RM200++ per hour of physiotherapy alone. There are chiropractic centers that charge RM200 for 25 minutes of DTS traction therapy alone. DTS traction therapy at our center costs RM 65, and Spinal decompression therapy by the RxDecom®, which is superior to DTS traction, also costs RM 65 per 25-30 minutes. If you decide to go for hospital-based physiotherapist care in KL, be prepared to pay even more. Physiotherapy charges in Kuala Lumpur at Chiropractic Specialty Center® in Damansara Heights are lower than others but at a higher standard of care.
To give you a better understanding of costs, we have provided care costs by our physiotherapist in KL below:
- Spinal decompression therapy RM 65
- ESWT Shockwave therapy RM 110
- High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) RM 100
- Electrotherapy RM 28
- Therapeutic Ultrasound (ultrasound therapy) RM 33
- Manual Physiotherapy RM 30 per area managed within 5-7 minutes

- Exercise therapy with Spinercise® machine RM 30
Physiotherapy care at the hospital is a lot more expensive compared to physiotherapy at Chiropractic Specialty Center®. We are cheaper and better equipped than they are for having the recommended alternative care to spine and joint surgery.

Get the Leading Shoulder Discomfort Physiotherapy Care In Kuala Lumpur Today
Shoulder discomfort and shoulder injury are common. Unfortunately, shoulder care that gets rid of shoulder discomfort and heals injured tissues is difficult and hard to find. However, if you visit Chiropractic Specialty Center® in Kuala Lumpur, you will find expert shoulder physiotherapists who can help you recover from shoulder discomfort and shoulder injury faster.
Our Clinical Methods Of Physiotherapy Get Better Results
For physiotherapy to improve recovery, the physiotherapist needs expertise, knowledge, and specialized therapy equipment. Unfortunately, there are far too many mediocre physiotherapy centers—some with poor skills and little to no clinical knowledge. You will be better off not getting care from them altogether!
How To Identify The Bad & Poorly Skilled Physiotherapist?
We love, cherish, and honor the profession of physiotherapy. However, some have poor skills, outdated knowledge, and no clinical acumen. Our goal is to expose them by giving you information on how to identify these individuals.
The most common error a poorly skilled or outdated physiotherapist commits is addressing an inflammatory condition with a “hot-pack.” Hot-pack therapy, such as that provided through hydrocolator pads, hot towels, heating machines, or infrared lamps, is Malaysia’s standard physiotherapy care approach. But, unfortunately, many therapists misuse them!
Acute and subacute conditions such as a slipped disc, sciatica, intense discomfort, and discomfort that runs down the arms or legs should never get hot-pack care at all! Putting a hot pack on the neck, back, knee, or hip may feel better, but it will worsen an inflammatory condition. So, don’t be misled by the soothing sensation the hot pack provides. Just because something feels good doesn’t mean that it is right for you! Unfortunately, we have seen far too many cases of improper use of a hot pack. This is the most common mistake committed by the unlearned therapist.
Telltale Signs Of A Bad Physiotherapist
Other signs of a lousy physiotherapist include improper use of therapy equipment, namely the therapeutic ultrasound, and aggressive manual procedures that aggravate the condition.
Additionally, some initiate the inappropriate use of exercise and stretching for patients with complicated conditions. Moreover, far too many have poor knowledge of anatomy. Over the years, we have interviewed hundreds of physiotherapists. We have even had therapists who could not find or name anatomical landmarks in the spine or extremities.
Far be it from us to judge, but often we wonder how some of these physiotherapists ever manage to get the certificates and degrees they hold. But, most important is that they give care and advice with insufficient knowledge or skills. That is scary and needs to be stopped. Perhaps there may be a need for national board testing to identify them before they are ever allowed to manage patients.
The Importance Of Corrective Physiotherapy By Clinical Physiotherapists In KL
Chiropractic Specialty Center®’s respect and admiration for the noble profession of physiotherapy is no secret. Physiotherapists who join our clinical team in Kuala Lumpur must be top in their fields and meet our stringent prerequisites. Our directors carefully interview and test each applicant to determine the ones worthy of our patients. We assess potential therapists on their skills and knowledge. Once they have successfully passed our rigorous interview and selection process, they start our training program. Our physiotherapists are great at getting you better. Those skills and knowledge they have are the result of dedication to the art and science of physiotherapy.
Preparing a physiotherapist in our center to fulfill the roles of a clinical therapist takes much work on our part, but more importantly, on our new team members. Our physiotherapy training manual alone is close to 500 pages. We are the only chiropractic and physiotherapy center in Malaysia that has a training center.
Our training center is located in our main chiropractic and physiotherapy center in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). We launched our training center specifically to improve the expertise of all our clinical teams. Therefore, the procedures, conditions, and methods of care outlined in our manuals are specific to our systems of care. In short, CSC’s physiotherapists in Kuala Lumpur are better than competing centers in Malaysia. So, you are in good hands when you get your care from our clinical physiotherapists.
Chiropractic Combined With Clinical Physiotherapy In KL
Clinical care at CSC’s physios-zone & chiro-zone is an integral part of each of your therapy sessions. We aim to get you better as fast as possible, and that is where our clinical teams of physiotherapists and chiropractors come in. We specialize in the non-surgical care of the spine, joints, and sports injuries. Therefore, our clinical team’s skills, expertise, and knowledge regarding neck discomfort, back discomfort, slipped disc, joint discomfort, or sports injuries are better than competing centers in Malaysia.
We are better because of our stringent recruitment and training programs. The care you get from us targets the root cause of issues discovered during your assessment. Unlike others, we painstakingly look into each case to identify the root cause of their condition. Once we have identified the cause of your discomfort or illness, we will plan a target-specific care plan.
Our integrative care methods, coupled with integrated non-surgical therapy devices, have significantly affected our clinical successes. When you get care from one of our centers, you can rest assured that the care you get is through the skillful hands of a non-invasive clinical physiotherapist in Kuala Lumpur.
Before a physiotherapist joins our team, he or she must meet our strict requirements. In short, to join our team, they must have mastered the clinical art of spine and joint physiotherapy. We adhere to our stringent rules because we want our patients to get the preferred possible physiotherapy and chiropractic services in Malaysia. We wouldn’t have it any other way, and neither should you. Physiotherapy and chiropractic are better than chiropractic or physiotherapy. So it is not just the principles of care that make a difference, but also our knowledge, experience, and technology.
Clinical Expert Teams In Spine, Joints & Sports Injuries
CSC’s clinical physiotherapists work side-by-side with our chiropractors. CSC’s integrative non-surgical care methods are different as they combine two distinct non-surgical care providers under one roof, intending to get you out of discomfort faster. The actual difference comes from our therapists as well as from our chiropractors. We are proud of our clinical research-based teams, driven to produce clinical successes even when others fail.
We spend lots of time finding better and more accurate ways of managing you. Therefore, we have made it mandatory for every physiotherapist and chiropractor to complete our in-house training program. Also, we require all our clinical team members to research new and innovative therapy methods. In other words, your physiotherapists and our chiropractors are busy doing scientific research daily. We do not know of any hospitals, clinics, or physiotherapy centers that are as keen on being at the forefront of research and better non-surgical care methods. So, please put your trust in our clinical team’s abilities. We address you better! Visit us and compare us to others, and only then will you be able to see the world of difference between them and us!
Our methods coupled with our chiropractic care and targeted spine or joint rehabilitation have produced results even for severe cases.
There are thousands of physiotherapists (physical therapists) in Malaysia. Some are good, while others you do better to avoid! The difference between the good ones and the bad ones is great. It is in their skills, knowledge, and the facility where they work. Physiotherapy is an occupation that is dependent on knowledge, expertise, and therapy devices and equipment. Others do not match our center’s skills, knowledge, and care technology, and as such, our teams get the results faster!
For example, to address a slipped disc (herniated or protruded disc), you will need technology, knowledge, and skills.
Centers that meet these basic requirements will certainly have better results. Centers lacking in one or more of these will fail, and the patient is then re-routed to surgical intervention. So, just because physiotherapists failed to get you better, it does not mean that physiotherapy failed or that you need spine surgery. The shortcoming is often individually based or due to a lack of proper equipment for your particular illness. Based on our experience, it is often related to inadequate or outdated therapy devices or outdated knowledge.
So, if the care you have had has failed to provide the comfort you need for an active life, visit us. We can help your recovery better than others. Most importantly, our conservative care can help you avoid spine surgery. Physiotherapy care provided in most hospitals is an adjunct to invasive procedures such as injections or surgery. Rarely do they succeed in getting patients better with the surgeon. Targeted conservative care of spine disorders is recommended at centers or clinical settings where spine surgery is not a specialty on their premises.
Let our teams of non-surgical experts provide you with the comprehensive conservative care for your spine.
In our centers, you will find qualified physical therapists who know and are backed by the latest and most sophisticated care equipment in the field of spine, joints, and sports injuries. But before a physiotherapist starts addressing our patients, they have to complete our training programs. Regardless of the level of experience or education, all physiotherapists are required to undergo our intensive training program.
Our goal is to be the leading physiotherapy (physical therapy) and chiropractic center in the world. To accomplish that, we have continuous training and learning programs for all our clinical staff. Learning never stops; that is why our clinical team will always manage you with the latest physical or modality-assisted therapy methods. We aim to get you better without surgery.
Holistic Care That Fixes & Repairs The Cause Of Discomfort
Our physiotherapists play a big part in our successes with our comprehensive scoliosis, back discomfort, neck discomfort, slipped disc, or joint care. Physiotherapists are not equal! Some are good, while others need much-needed improvement. These differences would be there even if they attended the same University. The difference between an excellent physiotherapist and a mediocre one lies in their skills and knowledge.
There is a noticeable difference when you get care from a clinical physiotherapist who uses modern therapy devices and non-invasive technology. Visit any one of our centers and compare the level of care you get from our physiotherapists, chiropractors, and technology, and then compare us to others. The field of physiotherapy is a mixture of science and art.
To master the art of physical therapy, the therapist must have compassion above all.
Compassion is the precursor to mastering Art. The desire to help a fellow Human being must be innate. Those who are compassionate will learn the art relatively easily.
A physiotherapist who has mastered the art will easily provide comfort to their patient’s neck discomfort, back discomfort, or slip disc within a few short minutes. We call this the 5-minute rule. In other words, our physiotherapists are required to improve a patient’s condition within the first 5 minutes of manual procedures. The 5-minute rule is possible only if your physiotherapist is skillful in manual procedures for back discomfort or neck discomfort. Every therapist knows the importance of muscle work, trigger points, and myofascial release. Some are just better at it. Those who are better are the one who excels in art.
The art of suitable non-surgical care is directly linked to procedures rendered through devices and instrument.
Therapeutic Ultrasound is the most common therapy device in a physiotherapy center. Unfortunately, it is also the most misused equipment in most centers. Those with limited knowledge or skills usually apply too much pressure and, as such, have limited benefits, or worse, cause more harm. We are the recommended chiropractic center in Malaysia for addressing slipped discs, back discomfort, neck discomfort, or joint care.
The science of physiotherapy is just as important. A physiotherapist must have enough knowledge and keep updated about new research and technology in the particular field they practice in, or risk becoming a dinosaur. Health care is always changing. New research and innovative technology continue to improve healthcare. Those who read published studies and continually update their knowledge attain superior results for the patients they serve. Hence, our most significant difference from others.
Importance Of Keeping Up With Latest Developments In Physical Therapy & Chiropractic
We are a research-driven center. Every clinical staff member must stay updated with the latest methods, technology, and systems of therapy. We demand this from all in our physiotherapy and chiropractic center in Kuala Lumpur.
Physiotherapists must write about back discomfort, neck discomfort, or joint discomfort after researching a given topic in our centers. Therefore, you get the research-based care from a physiotherapist at one of our centers. Our research-based clinical physiotherapists get better results when compared to others. Chiropractic Specialty Center® went through great lengths in recruiting the shining stars and then implemented an encompassing training program to harness their skills for better outcomes.
The average physiotherapist will not accomplish what an appropriately trained spine physiotherapist can. The profession of physiotherapy has specific areas of specialty:
- Cardiothoracic physiotherapy
- Post-surgical physiotherapy
- Pre-surgical physiotherapy
- Physiotherapy specific for neurological conditions ( MS, stroke, and cerebral palsy)
- Rehabilitative physiotherapy
- Physiotherapy specific for the gynecological and obstetric disorders
- Spine & Joint (musculoskeletal) physiotherapy
In short, the field of physiotherapy is enormous, and those who receive degrees in this area must have exposure to all aspects.
Due to limitations, their exposure during their educational time is not focused on any individual areas. As such, upon graduation, they will possess general skills and knowledge in all fields. Those who desire to further their abilities and knowledge always focus on specific areas. While this may be true, it doesn’t prove easy to attain. That is where we come in.
Integrated Therapies That Improve Function & Mobility
Our physiotherapists combine their care with our chiropractors. Our chiropractors and physiotherapists work with you to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs or assist you in overcoming movement disorders, which may be congenital, acquired through accident or injury, or the result of aging or life-changing events.
At a Chiropractic Specialty Center®, our physiotherapists collaborate with chiropractors to manage spine and joint conditions, as well as sports injuries and scoliosis. So whether your symptoms are chronic, complex (challenging), or ongoing, we can help! Our goal is to restore low-discomfort movement and help you maintain this improvement and manage your discomfort long-term, all without the use of any medication, surgeries, or injections. Our skilled physiotherapists and research-based chiropractors use a range of methods to achieve these goals.
These methods include hands-on care such as mobilization or manual therapy, which breaks muscle tension and adhesions, and exercise therapy improves joint mobility, muscle strength and function, and posture. To complement the care, therapeutic modalities like ultrasound and IFT help with muscle relaxation, care for physical discomfort, and increased circulation. If you are looking for a specialized team of chiropractors or physiotherapists to take care of your condition, please visit us!
We pride ourselves on providing competent, clinical, honest, and professional care to help with your health concerns and overall well-being. Call or visit one of our centers near you today to get the well-known physiotherapy and chiropractic care in Kuala Lumpur. Our physiotherapists get better results than any other physiotherapist in KL.
