Thank you, Mukh

you welc and things are setteled the only thing u will notice is

@mukh  but her question is about an accupuncturist or chiropractor.  Do you know of any?

I suggest calling around to some of the larger hospitals/clinics and asking.  I know there are a few chiropractors in Riyadh (not many).

Yes, I am very much familiar with the Middle Eastern world as I have studied it and I used to teach English to Saudi Male students here in the US. So, I've learned many things from them. Thanks! I'll be there in August.

Thanks,Alliecat!

I'll call around when I get to KSA and inquire about it from the hospitals/clinics.

hi there Alli as i said am in medical field and didnt come across it but am suggesting there might be in Khobar or Dammam as its bigger cities

wow, 150 km? Quite a trip for a visit to a chiropractor but I know they're not real common in KSA, even in the big cities.

well i assume 150 KM is not that much if you looking for something you need i know alot people do go to bahrain in thier weekends so you may rethink of the distance

Well here's the thing with chiropractors/accupuncture, it's not a one-time thing.  Often you have to go several times a week to begin, then once a week for a while, then every two weeks, etc. (you get the picture).  And once you get there, the procedures take less than an hour!

When you visit Bahrain, you stay for the weekend

i know the procedure its apit annoying for some one to travell all the way for it but if u in need then u have to go thru it ,
And for bahrain isnt far once u are in  khobar less than hour(30KM) u will be in there so no big deal , its depends on u some stay for the weekend n some spends hours then head back

I'm in Riyadh--so it's stay the weekend   For her, though, easy to make day trips.  I am envious!!

dont be ,i heard though you guys in riyadh got every thing u possibly want in your lil compounds so u shouldent be complaining
