How Much Does a Chiropractic Visit Cost?

Most first time chiropractic patients, and even those who have visited before, often wonder what the average cost of a chiropractic visit is. The cost of a chiropractic visit will depend on what type of appointment you are scheduling, as well as your location. The estimates below are based on chiropractic prices in and around the Midvale, Utah area (in Salt Lake County), however they are a good base estimate.

Average Chiropractic Visit Costs

Chiropractic visits are typically billed at the time of service. Some chiropractors will bill your insurance, but a typical visit can cost the same as or less than your insurance co-pay.

A typical visit to your chiropractor for an adjustment will cost between $25 – $100 on average. There are a lot of different types of services or modalities that can be offered by your doctor, which may in turn affect the price. For a “maintenance visit”, your cost is usually $25 – $75.

Chiropractic Monthly Membership

The most affordable way to get the most “bang for your buck” for your chiropractic care is to sign up for a monthly membership. Much like a gym membership, a chiropractic membership allows a patient to be seen for a low monthly fee. Membership plans are likely the most affordable way to care for your neck, back and spine if you are planning on visiting a chiropractor more than once- which you likely should be. Most patients who are experiencing chronic pain will find that they need regular “maintenance” appointments. Unlimited chiropractic visits = you feeling good long term.

Chiropractic Care With Insurance

Many traditional health insurance policies “cover” some portion of your chiropractic care, however they usually only cover a limited number of visits. Unfortunately most health insurance plans do not cover a significant portion of the cost of chiropractic visits, and thus most of the cost is left to the patient to pay out of pocket.
