Hi ,I have a very sore lower back.I`ve had this problem for a number of years(only occurs once a year or so) and its usually sorted by a couple of visits to a Chiropractor.Anybody know of one in Udon or a similar type muscular massage place.

There are not any chiropractors outside of Bangkok.If it is debillating,get some muscle relaxants,take a sleeper train to Bangkok.Otherwise,you might contact hospitals that have a Physical therapist that might be able to assist you.Acopuncture might be another possibility!

I found one in BKK some years ago. But beware. He was a farang and charged about 3 times what I normally pay here in the States.

You might find an "accupressure" massage in Udon. I knew one when I lived there and he fixed me up in 2 visits. He lived out on the Kut Chap Road, but that is all I can remember.

Brian,
IMHO a good deep (real) Thai muscle massage on the lower back can do as good a job as a chiropractor. I have had back problems for many years and have found that this helps a lot and if needed do as BKKStan sugests and get some musle relaxers. But make sure you get from a doctor who is aware of any medical conditions, not just from the local drug store.

There are several in Bangkok!I lived their for 5 years!The most I ever paid was 1000 baht.If you decide to go,I will get you a contact number where you won't getted ripped off.I paid 600,then it went to 800,then 1000!

I tend to pull my back once in a while, very painful, literally stops me in my tracks.

Maybe a couple of years back, I got treatment at what I know as the 'Army Hospital' down the road from the Air Force Base. I was quite impressed. It seemed to be a specialist unit, rehab sort of thing and treatment not expensive. AND a few lovelies taking care too!

Thanks for all the replies.The Kutchap Rd one would be very handy as its where I live.Did he work from home or was it house/shop.I`ll have a look around with my wife shortly.Once again thanks for the info everyone and I`ll try the Army Hospital if i cant locate the Kut Chap Rd one.The pain going away and the lovelies seems like a very good mix.

also in bkk, Dr Oat, suk soi 38, very good, see him at least twice a year. if needing better info if planning on going, let me know. he is over 2 meter, buff, and can adjust with no problem.
