Finding and booking the right chiropractor in Cape Town shouldn’t be complicated — especially when you’re in pain or need help getting back to training, competing, or just feeling human again.

Step-by-Step: How to Book with The Cape Town Chiro

1️⃣ Head to thecapetownchiro.com

You’ll find the “Book Now” button at the top of every page — it takes you straight to our Cliniko online booking system.

2️⃣ Choose your appointment type

  • Initial Consultation (45 min) – for new patients. Includes full assessment, diagnosis, and first treatment.
  • Follow-Up (30 min) – for existing patients continuing care or managing a flare-up.

3️⃣ Select your date and time

You can book any time 24/7, including:

  • Early morning sessions from 06:30 AM
  • Late sessions until 7:00 PM
  • Weekend slots available Saturday 06:30–16:00 (sometimes later, depending on Boks or Stormers fixtures).

4️⃣ Fill in your details

Add your name, contact number, and short description of your issue — for example: “Left calf pain after long run” or “Lower back stiffness after CrossFit.”

5️⃣ Confirm your booking

You’ll receive instant confirmation via email and a reminder before your appointment.

6️⃣ Prepare for your session

Bring along any prior reports or scans (if you have them), wear something comfortable, and arrive 5 minutes early.

 No referral needed — you can book directly, whether you’re a first-time chiropractic patient or returning after an injury.

Why We Don’t Do In-House X-Rays

A quick note — we don’t perform in-house X-rays. The reason?
In-house systems often produce poor image quality, and the set-up, positioning, and execution are inconsistent at best.

When imaging is necessary, we refer you to trusted radiology centres in Cape Town that provide:

  • High-quality digital X-rays or MRIs
  • Professional reporting by radiologists
  • Online access to your images, which we can review together

That means you get accurate results, not fuzzy shadows that lead to bad calls.

What to Expect from Your First Chiropractic Visit

  1. Comprehensive Assessment
    We’ll go through your history, lifestyle, and what’s been bothering you. Whether it’s a running injury, lower back pain, or shoulder restriction, the goal is clear diagnosis.
  2. Physical & Orthopaedic Testing
    We’ll assess joint mobility, muscle strength, range of motion, and perform evidence-based clinical tests to pinpoint the source of pain — no guesswork, no gimmicks.
  3. Diagnosis & Plan
    You’ll get a clear explanation of what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how we’re going to fix it.
  4. Treatment 
    The first session may include a combination of:
    • Chiropractic adjustment or mobilization
    • Soft tissue work
    • IFC, ultrasound, dry needling, or strapping
    • Home exercises or mobility drills
  5. Education & Next Steps
    You’ll leave knowing what to do — and what not to do — before your next visit.

How to Choose the Right Chiropractor in Cape Town

Not all chiropractors practice the same way. Here’s what to look for:

  • Evidence-based care — no talk of “subluxations” or endless care plans/Selling packages
  • Clear communication — they explain what they’re doing and why.
  • Registered professionals — with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA).
  • Fair pricing & transparency — no hidden fees or unnecessary imaging.
  • Availability — early, late, and weekend appointments for working professionals and athletes.
