How to Use This Info When Choosing a Chiropractor
The numbers above give you a snapshot of time, price, and reputation. But price alone doesn’t tell the whole story.
Some practices offer shorter sessions at premium rates, which may work well for maintenance or regular “quick-fix” adjustments. Others, like myself, offer longer sessions built around full assessments, treatment, patient education, and home advice so you walk away with clarity and a plan.
At my practice, I offer:
– 45-minute initial consults and 30-minute follow-ups
– Thorough diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, and rehab
– Clear guidance on what you can do between sessions
A Note on Time, Value, and Flexibility
Depending on the case, and only when my schedule allows, I occasionally spend an extra few minutes beyond the standard session time — at no extra cost. If I feel that 5 to 10 minutes more can make a meaningful difference and potentially avoid another session, I’d rather take that time than rush things.
If I think a longer follow-up is needed, I’ll block it off in the diary to make sure there’s time to handle it properly. Quality comes first.
Medical Aid Rates (2025)
Most chiropractors charge private rates, which may differ from medical aid rates. Discovery, Momentum, and Bonitas typically reimburse between R400–R800 per session, depending on your plan. It’s always best to confirm with your provider if you’re planning to claim.
Watch Out For:
– Overly short sessions at premium prices
– Practices focused purely on adjustment “clicks”
– One-size-fits-all packages without proper assessment
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right chiro isn’t just about cost. It’s about care, time, and results. My approach is simple: take the time, sort it out properly, and get you back to moving at your best.

Chiropractic Care in Cape Town: 2025 Pricing Guide & VAT Impact
If you’re seeking chiropractic services in Cape Town, understanding the current pricing landscape is essential. With the South African government’s planned VAT increases, it’s also important to anticipate potential changes in service costs.
Upcoming VAT Increases and Their Implications
The South African government has announced a phased increase in the Value-Added Tax (VAT)
- From 15% to 15.5% effective May 1, 2025
- Further increase to 16% effective April 1, 2026
What This Means for Chiropractic Services:
With the VAT rate increasing, service providers across various sectors, including healthcare, may adjust their pricing to accommodate the higher tax burden. For chiropractic patients, this could translate to slightly higher consultation fees starting May 2025. However, Dr Tristan Koekemoer will be absorbing the initial 0.5% increase and will therefore NOT increase his rates in May 2025.
