The initial consultation, lasting approximately 20 minutes, is a crucial phase in your chiropractic journey. During this comprehensive spinal check-up, your chiropractor will focus on understanding your condition and concerns.

They will explain the causes of joint dysfunction, the role of chiropractic adjustments, and the numerous benefits chiropractic care can provide. If you’ve never had your spine assessed before, this is the perfect opportunity to have your questions answered by the chiropractor. Following this, a series of tests will be conducted to gain a holistic understanding of your spinal health.

How much does chiropractic care cost in Singapore?

First Check-Up: $105 X-rays: $200-$250 Adjustment: $110

These rates reflect our retail prices for walk-in patients. We also periodically offer special promotions for first-time patients, reducing the cost of your initial check-up.

If you’re considering a longer-term care plan, the pricing will vary depending on the severity of your condition and how your body responds to adjustments. Similar to the way braces gradually align teeth, chiropractic care is not a quick fix; it requires time and consistent attention to correct spinal misalignments. For many individuals, a period of 8-12 months with one to two adjustments per week is typical. The cost is often comparable to orthodontic braces.

A distinctive feature of Chiropractic Singapore is our commitment to your well-being. We don’t charge extra for additional chiropractic adjustments you may need during your care plan.
