How much does it cost?
Myth #4: Chiropractic care is expensive.
Fact: It varies from clinic to clinic, but the average cost is about $56 per session.
Contrary to the myth, most insurance policies cover chiropractic care. The other factor to consider is the long-term savings you could enjoy because of chiropractic care. So even though you may not see the healthcare savings immediately in your budget, you are likely to see them later on as you enjoy a healthier life with fewer medical costs.
Of course, just like any medical treatment, the actual expense varies from clinic to clinic. The good news is, chiropractic care is often very affordable with insurance. And some chiropractic offices offer specific plans for those whose insurance does not cover it. The best thing you can do is check your insurance policy and check with your potential chiropractors to learn your options.
The other factor to consider is the long-term savings you could enjoy because of chiropractic care. A four-year study published by the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics concluded that patients using chiropractic and other holistic treatments experienced:
- 43% fewer hospital admissions
- 58.4% fewer days in a hospital stay
- 43.2% decrease in outpatient procedures, including surgeries
- 51.8% reduction in pharmacy and drug costs
So even though you may not see the healthcare savings immediately in your budget, you are likely to see them later on as you enjoy a healthier life with fewer medical costs.
