Cost of Chiropractic - How Much Would it Cost to Visit a Chiropractor

?

One of the misconceptions about chiropractic care is that it is expensive, many unbiased health studies have shown that is a cheap option when compared to other modalities. Further more if you start to factor in the amount of time and money lost at work due to absents then chiropractic really does look cheap.

The Manga study - A Study to Examine the Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness of Chiropractic Management of Low-Back Pain 1993 concluded that "spinal manipulation applied by chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatments for LBP. Many medical therapies are of questionable validity or are clearly inadequate."

So why do people in the UK assume that chiropractic is expensive, probably because we have been brought up with the NHS and think health care should be free but times are changing the government is looking at ways to reduce the NHS budget. Chiropractic is slowly being utilized now by GPs as they realise that it is actually very cost effective.

So how much does it cost?

You would be surprised to know that in many acute cases IE the discomfort has only been there for a very short time then it is quite normal to only receive three treatments. In some parts of the UK, for example London you could pay 60 a visit but in other areas you are likely to pay less. Writing as a Derby Chiropractor (UK) the prices are quite reasonable and you could receive 3 treatments, 1 per week over 3 weeks for as little as 100.

If you put this in perspective a back street car garage charges 45 per hour and a simple oil change would probably cost you about 150 a high end dealership charges 85+ and hour. Chiropractic or YOUR health really is starting to look cheap now isn't it?

Obviously if you have had your condition for many years then it would take longer to resolve but many of these conditions resolve within 10 treatments.

Insurance

Most health insurance policies allow chiropractic care and many companies hold health plans for their employees so chiropractic really should be accessible for most of the public.

Cheap Visits

Most chiropractors run discounts at certain times of the year so have a look around for any promotions that could save you some money in these tough times.
