Chile Forum

Can anyone recommend a good chiropractor in Santiago? Thanks!

I would be interested in the same info, (and any that speak english),

I do! He has offices in Santiago and Vina. He is from the US (NY to be exact). Just PM me for more info. There are few REAL chiros in Chile...most are 'pretend' chiros that took weekend courses...so beware.

we have a dr who has written articles for us. PM me for details.

Try Steven Flint, ex USA.
He works some days in providencia Santiago and other days in Viña.
He is good . try call 3218979.
Good luck..

after many years of going to chiropractors (a total of 7 in 4 different clinics) every 4-6 weeks for 15 years, (and dropping thousands of dollars in the process), i was told by a chiropractor here in quebec that most lower back problems are caused by weak stomach muscles. this was later confirmed by reading some articles in muscle and fitness websites. since i started doing my "bicycle" sit-ups i have gone to a chiropractor twice in 4 years, and one of those times was just because i thot that the condition of my back was too good to be true and wanted it checked. as my stomach has gained strength i have fewer and fewer problems and i can even do things that i couldnt have ever done years ago - lay tile, dig in my garden, work on plumbing below grade sitting on the ground.

in addition, my neck has had no problems since i started doing "windmills". in short most back problems are caused by muscle imbalances. it is a shame that more people dont know this, but now YOU do.

I've used this one a few times...also from the US.

Steve Flint, DC is the one I used...as 'gringobiker' mentioned him here. I have given out his name now to at least 4 folks on ALLCHILE who wrote a PM to inquire. Just make sure one goes to a REAL chiro...not the wkend. course fake Chilean ones around here.

Would I be pushing my luck to ask if anyone knows of a female chiro? I prefer female practitioners for hands on work.

What about a chiropractor in the Lakes area say around Temuco or Valdivia perhaps?
