Q: Is Chiropractic care expensive? A: All health care costs have risen sharply in the last 10 years, but a typical chiropractic treatment program that may last for 6 to 8 weeks still costs less than one day in a hospital. A significant cost of care is due to billing and collections costs. We have a special fee for those who pay at time of service and bill their own insurance which is about 50% less than our regular fee.
