Transparent Pricing at Chiropractor Cape Town – What You Should Always Ask First

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.Transparent Pricing Chiropractor Cape Town

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

  1. Is treatment included in the first consult?

  2. Are X-rays really necessary — and if so, why?

  3. What’s the cost of care over time, not just today?

  4. Do you require upfront payment for multiple sessions?

  5. What happens if I’m not improving — do you refer?

If any of these answers feel vague, walk away.
