01
Proper assessment comes first
Not everybody needs the same treatment. We take time to understand your symptoms, movement, habits, training, sleep, workload, and the bigger picture before deciding what makes sense.
Who This Is For
For people who are tired of guessing
This clinic is a good fit for people in Cheras and nearby Kuala Lumpur who are dealing with pain that keeps coming back, pain that has become part of normal life, or symptoms that are affecting work, sleep, training, or daily function.
You may have already tried massage, medication, rest, stretching, gym work, physiotherapy, or even previous chiropractic care. Sometimes the issue is not that you have "not tried enough". Sometimes the bigger problem is that nobody has properly made sense of what is driving it.
That is where we take a different approach.
The trial and error cycle
Trying multiple short-term passive treatments without identifying the underlying daily habits or stressors driving the issue.
Our clinical strategy
A structured, assessment-driven process that helps us make sense of your pain and identify its practical root causes.
Why Choose Me
Why patients choose Ian The Chiro
Assess first. Treat only when it makes sense. Explain what to do next.
02
Treatment is not automatic
Just because you came in does not mean you must be adjusted. If chiropractic adjustments or dry needling are not the right move for you, we do not need to force them.
03
Practical recommendations, not just temporary relief
Our goal is not just to make you feel better for a day or two. We want you to understand what is going on, what is likely feeding the issue, and what to do next.
04
Straightforward and evidence-grounded
We keep things practical, realistic, and honest. No exaggerated promises. No unnecessary fear. No nonsense.

Dry Needling
Dry needling can be useful for muscle tension, trigger points, and certain pain patterns when it fits the case. It is a core service here, not just an add-on afterthought.

"Ian took the time to do a very detailed consultation before starting any treatment — made me feel comfortable and confident. He helped fix my shoulder issue, and I also tried dry needling for the first time. Looked a bit scary at first, but was actually fun and very interesting! Highly recommended."
Marvin L
★★★★★
"A comprehensive session addressing key points around my upper and lower body. Dr. Ian is well versed with dry needling and recommendations for exercises and diet. I feel real improvements from the muscle tension, cramping, headaches, and difficulty breathing."
Mr Ian
★★★★★
"I've been seeing Ian the Chiro on and off for the last few years. Very impressed with the time he takes to understand your full history and his holistic approach to overall health. He fixed a long term issue from an old injury during my first few visits. His new location in Cheras is also very convenient, with easy parking."

"Dr. Ian is very friendly and professional. He not only addressed my main concern but also discovered other underlying issues that I wasn't even aware of. He patiently explained everything and taught me useful exercises to help maintain good posture. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring chiropractor!"

★★★★★
"Ian relieved my lower back pain and upper back soreness. Haven't felt this relief for about 2 years already. My previous chiro would only give temporary relief and tell me to stop power lifting. Ian recommended small workouts before my regular workouts to prevent the compression pains in my back."
Kar Yen Low
★★★★★
"Brought my mom to see Dr. Ian and we're both really happy. He took the time to explain everything clearly, especially about dry needling, and made sure my mom was comfortable every step. He didn't just treat the symptoms but gave helpful advice, simple stretches, and guided steps for long term recovery. Highly recommend."
Darren
★★★★★
"It was an eye opening experience. Dr Ian was extremely patient and professional. He managed to pinpoint areas causing me pain with accuracy and got to work quick. I didn't realize my body was carrying so much tension if it wasn't for the treatment. Highly recommend if you have any chronic tightness or soreness!"

★★★★★
"Dr Ian makes a difference! My chronic cervical pain over 10 years had been really frustrating. Dr Ian treated my condition after a few sessions — through dry needling, adjustment, and guidance on supplements and lifestyle changes. He is very attentive to details, effective and professional."

Damien Chan
★★★★★
"I've been to another Chiro in the past but previous sessions did not solve my problems. Ian identified my issues in a different approach and I was able to fully understand the root cause of my discomfort. I'm glad I'm not expected to make too many visits and I'm able to improve my condition as long as I'm being consistent."
Valerie Wong
★★★★★
"Visited for the first time and found the doctor to be very experienced and patient. First time trying dry needling — although I felt a bit of pain, I felt relief after. Issues that have troubled me for a long time, hope to get them resolved. Planning to come again soon!"
Frequently Asked
Common questions before booking
The consultation is RM150. For most new patients, this is the best place to start because it allows us to assess your case properly before deciding whether treatment, advice, dry needling, chiropractic adjustments, or another next step makes sense.
We start by understanding your symptoms, history, daily habits, work demands, training, and what you have already tried. Where appropriate, we then assess movement, pain behaviour, and relevant clinical findings before explaining what seems to matter most.
The goal is to leave you clearer on what may be contributing to the issue and what the next sensible step should be.
Usually, no. Most people do not need scans before the first visit.
If imaging is needed, we will let you know when it actually makes sense. The decision should depend on your symptoms, history, examination findings, and whether there are warning signs that need medical review.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on what is appropriate for your case.
Chiropractic adjustments are not done automatically just because you booked an appointment. If adjustment, dry needling, advice, exercises, or referral makes more sense, we will explain that clearly.
That is normal. You do not need to know whether it is a disc issue, nerve irritation, muscle tightness, posture, joint pain, or something else before reaching out.
If you are unsure, you can start with the 60-second symptom checker or WhatsApp us with a short description of your symptoms.
Many patients come in for recurring back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica-like symptoms, nerve-like pain, shoulder or wrist pain, hip or knee pain, sports injuries, posture concerns, and muscle tightness that keeps coming back.
The important part is not just naming the condition. It is assessing whether your specific case is suitable for chiropractic care, dry needling, advice-based care, or referral.
Visits are by appointment. Walk-ins are not recommended because first visits usually need proper consultation time, and we may not be able to guarantee an immediate slot.
The easiest way to book is to WhatsApp us and ask for the next available appointment.
