Résumé
The purpose of this study was to estimate the utilization of chiropractic in Klang Valley, Malaysia. This research was a cross-sectional study conducted in 4 health care centers, namely Klinik Mediviron Sri Rampai, Queck Dental Surgery, International Medical University (IMU) Healthcare Chiropractic Centre, and Be Pharmacy Bandar Sri Permaisuri, in Klang Valley from July to November 2018, with a total of 440 respondents. The data collection was done by the self-administration method using questionnaires that were enclosed in envelopes and passed on to the participants by the center's staff. Descriptive statistics were conducted on the data collected and are presented in tables and figures. The variables were sex, age, nationality, ethnicity, marital status, education level, employment status, and health status with the utilization of chiropractic. There were 186 (42.3%) male and 254 (57.7%) female respondents. The youngest respondent was 18 years old, and the oldest was 81 years old. The median age was 30 years old. Most respondents (97.3%) were Malaysian from a non-Bumiputra (non-Malay) ethnic group. Almost half (47.5%) of the respondents had a bachelor's degree education level. The utilization of chiropractic was 35.9% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 31.4-40.5). The utilization of chiropractic was 35.9%, which was slightly lower than utilization among other traditional and complementary medicine practices in Malaysia.
