£$€ You May Wish To Consider This

If you have been told its 'wear and tear' or 'old age' and that 'nothing can be done'...

If you know that you cannot carry on like this...

... what value could be put on your regained Health or Quality of Life?

... or that of your loved ones?

What price would you pay for a new found reservoir of energy or the ability to work with an enthusiasm you have not had for years?

People under care regularly report major lifestyle improvements.

A recent study showed at LIFE Chiropractic 95.4% of people reported an improvement in Quality of Life ranging from 'Better' to 'Hallelujah, Its a Miracle!'.

For those who are into stats (I'm not really) full details are here.

Also you may want to know how to get the very best deal from the office you choose. A few tips for this are below.

The cost will be driven by the following 3 factors:

1. What YOUR health aims are.

2. Your bodies healing ability.

3. The fee structure of the Centre you choose.

The first two points are covered at How Much Time Will It Take To Heal? and are largely influenced by you and your actions.

The key is as follows - L(London), NE(Northern England), Sc(Central Scotland), US (US/Canada), E (Europe)

The fee structure of any office can be divided as follows:

£$€ Initial Consultation

a. Seeing the practice and meeting the Chiropractic Doctor.

b. Documenting your current and past health challenges.

c. An explanation of what chiropractic is and how it can help you.

d. A full hands-on examination by the Doctor.

e. A proposed plan to restore your health.

Typical Fees:

L - £60 NE - £40 Sc - £50 US - $80 E - €60

The initial consultation may be offered free of charge. (If so it may not include a full examination in which case there may be a charge for the examination)

At the very least you should be able to arrange to see the practice and meet the Doctor without charge.

Many offices have promotions running or if you see a Chiropractic Health Stand at a public place it is likely that they have some type of promotional offer on.

If a friend or colleague is using a chiropractor they may be able to get you special price on an initial consultation as word-of-mouth referrals are highly sought after in any business.

A good questions to ask when booking an initial consultation (if there is a charge) may be:

“ Is it possible to come in to see the practice and meet the Doctor, without charge, before I book an initial consultation?”

ALL CHARGES SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT TO YOU AND SHOULD BE CLEARLY DISPLAYED/EXPLAINED

£$€ Quantitative Assessment

Most offices will have a policy of collecting some type of objective data before commencing care and most likely during care. This may be in the form of x-ray/MRI or sEMG and thermal scan.

Spinal X-Ray/MRI

Many offices take x-rays (and very occasionally MRI scans) as a function of the type of chiropractic technique they use. They are very valuable as an educational tool. X-Rays are easily justifiable as a method of protecting both yourself and the chiropractor as he/she would not want to use a particular technique which is not compatible with your spine (because of a weakness in your spine due to damage or deterioration).

They do not however identify VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATIONS (interference to the nerves from a spinal bone being out of balance) as XRay imagines in the main only pick out hard structures.

MRIs show nerve detail but can not identify incorrect mental impulse transmission down that nerve due to vertebral pressure. They do however show disc degeneration which is a symptom of vertebral subluxation.

Typical Costs for Full Spine X-Ray

L - £220 Sc - £180 NE - £120 US - $220 E - €220

sEMG or Thermal Scan

Scanning Electro Myograph is a very recent, non-invasive (no radiation) technology utilised in chiropractic which measures electrical activity either side of the spine (similar to an ECG used to measure activity of the heart) to give an indication of muscular balance. If a SUBLUXATION exists this shows as either muscles firing excessively (as the body works to correct the subluxation) or as muscles which have shut down. A thermal spinal scan gives an indication of how effectively the autonomic (automatic or involuntary) nervous system is functioning. Your temperature is regulated every single moment by the brain and imbalances in this function manifest as excessive asymmetric thermal readings either side of the spine

Typical Costs for sEMG and Thermal Scan Assessment

L - £45 Sc - £40 NE - £35 US - $60 E - €45

£$€ Chiropractic Adjustment

This is the method a Doctor of Chiropractic uses to correct a VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION.

Often chiropractic offices have a care plan to reduce the cost of a series of chiropractic adjustments. Occasionally they run family care plans to make care affordable for the whole family Typical cost for a single adjustment

L - £45 Sc - £35 NE - £30 US - $60 E - €45

Details for care plans should be made available on request if not already displayed.
