Transparent Pricing at Chiropractor Cape Town – What You Should Always Ask First
If there isn’t Transparent Pricing at your Chiropractor in Cape Town BEFORE your first session… ask yourself why.
At The Cape Town Chiro, I believe you deserve Transparent Pricing when going to your Chiropractor in Cape Town which means – upfront pricing, zero upsells, and actual treatment — not just a chat and a bill.
The Industry’s Dirty Little Secret
Some practices advertise cheap “initial consults” — maybe R550 or less — just to get you in the door. Sounds like a deal, right? But here’s the catch:
-
You’ll often sit for 10–15 minutes, get no hands-on care, and walk out with instructions to book X-rays first(which you often don’t need).
-
Then you’re called back again, only to be pitched a 10- or 12-session plan, usually costing R5,000+ over time.
-
Some chiros will require full prepayment for this plan.
-
And here’s the kicker — you might not even need all 10 sessions.
This is what I call unethical practice. It’s sales disguised as care.
X-rays for “Posture” or “Alignment”? That’s Not Science
If a chiro says you need an X-ray to check your alignment, posture, or because your bones are “out” — that’s a 🚩 red flag.
The truth:
-
Your spine isn’t meant to be perfectly straight.
-
We don’t put bones “back in” — they were never out.
-
X-rays should only be used when clinically indicated (e.g. trauma, fracture suspicion, serious pathology).
-
Using imaging to scare you into care is not evidence-based — it’s manipulation.
What I Do Differently
I charge a flat, transparent rate for your session.
No bait. No switch. No unnecessary “packages”.
What’s included:
-
Full assessment
-
Hands-on treatment in the first visit (unless medically unsafe)
-
Rehab advice, home care, and plan going forward
-
Everything in one visit, no extra fees for tools or techniques
Dry needling, taping, ultrasound, manipulation — it’s all included. You’re not buying a technique. You’re paying for clinical reasoning and results.
5 Questions to Ask Any Chiropractor Before Booking
-
Is treatment included in the first consult?
-
Are X-rays really necessary — and if so, why?
-
What’s the cost of care over time, not just today?
-
Do you require upfront payment for multiple sessions?
-
What happens if I’m not improving — do you refer?
If any of these answers feel vague, walk away.
