dear ql readers,
I heard about the rumor of no chiros in doha for now. Have no substantiated proof. however i did try the following. http://www.qatcom.com/listings/qatar-search/chiropractors
ACC no answer
Apollo the receptionist did not seem to know what a chiropractor was and put me on hold for more than 7 minutes
DCC no answer
Did not call Dr. SH because of the other QL post from MOH saying she is not licensed to practice here and uncertain of their abilities. (might be great I just don't know)
So back pain stayed for about 2 weeks. The option left according to all the searches was to fly to Dubai and spend 625+ per treatment. Flying to Dubai does not work with my work or recreational schedule. So I started to search medical resources to understand my problem.
This is my problem. I was not lifting anything heavy, not doing anything fancy or not excercising but hurt my back simply lifting an ordinary object a scsior from my home office desk. i would go on to learn later on from Mr. jesse K. that was due to pre-existing muscle imbalances. I went to Ahli the Ortho Dr. R checked me out (after 45+min of waiting, i tend to hate waiting while in pain in Dr.s offices) he said everything is normal, no breaks or fractures. Problem occurred Fri Dec 25, i saw Dr. R at Ahli on Dec 24. He put me on Rofenac gel for localized easing, muscadol for muscle relaxing, Tamal for severe pain relief. Problem persisted with no relief in site i went to see Dr. Abdel Kafi at DCH on Sun Jan 2 he checked me out after about 1 hour of waiting he said all is functional confirmed no breaks and fractures and put me on Relax(gel for local relief) Sirdalud for muscle relaxation, and Brufen 400 for pain relief. This Dr. comes highly recommended and is an expert for spinal injuries. So my feeling was that OK nothing must be broken but why do I still have so much pain. I could feel something was out of place but could not tell what to do about it. To both Dr.s I had said that oral voltaren is not suitable for my digestion and while it was their initial choice they changed to other meds. On Jan 6th after persistent discomfort I had to find my own pain relief as I enjoy kayaking with family and duning and outdoor sports and the pain was preventing me for participating in sports and making life miserable. My research indicated, lots of good material on the net on the subject, that this was my problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8_ShyF3_14&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Jesse's solutions worked for me. I have purchased the book as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGbkpGiLS1c&feature=youtube_gdata_player

It is not perfect but it has only been 24 hours and I am out of the main pain, things are sore, but after being in pain for 2 weeks temporary minor soreness with lack of pain is very bearable. Hope to go kayaking tomorrow at wakra.
