But first, who is a chiropractor?

A chiropractor, or doctor of chiropractic, is a health care provider who is trained to diagnosed and treat disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Traditional chiropractors often utilise chiropractic adjustment or spinal manipulation to correct “subluxations” or misalignment in the spine. Their belief is that the misalignment disrupts the nervous system. Correction of the “subluxations” will therefore result in better health and symptom relief. However, there is no evidence to support this approach to care.

Modern chiropractors take the latest research into consideration when working with a patient. They are considered evidence-based and deliver superior care compared to their traditional counterparts.

True chiropractic is about delivering long term pain relief without pain killers and surgery.

Who is a good chiropractor or the best chiropractor Singapore?

Needless to say, we think we are the best chiropractor in Singapore. Of course asking you to believe that will be a hard sell. So we have put together a list of what to look for to determine who is the best chiropractor.

Price comparison of chiropractors in Singapore

You would probably know someone who had a difficult time dealing with a chiropractor.

A quick search of the Internet will bring up multiple horror stories of chiropractors using fear-mongering tactics to sign clueless patients up for chiropractic packages. These encounters usually start with a cheap chiropractic promotion and end up a often expensive and unnecessary package. Some clinics even offer 90-session packages!

We are honest and transparent about our fees at Square One. For price comparison, we included a chiropractor Singapore price table to show how we charge relative to our chiropractic competitors in Singapore.

We found these chiropractors through Google. We are also the only chiropractor in the list who does not offer packages.

Let’s look at the differences in treatment approaches for each clinic:

*passive modalities = chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, IASTM, massaage, etc

If you are to take into consideration what you get out of seeing us compared to a chiropractor at one of the other clinics, you’d realise that Square One, in our opinion, offers the highest value.

We are unable to find the fee structure for the bigger chiropractic chains such as Chiropractic First, Natural Healings, Healing Hands, or True Chiropractic,

Cheap chiropractors are NOT really cheaper!

The Allure of Cheap Chiropractors

Most of you would have considered choosing our competitors over us because they are cheaper. And indeed, they often are! You can find discount chiropractors on Fave (previously Groupon) for as little as $9 per session! If you are comfortable with what they offer, go ahead and give them a call.

Believe it or not, we have a money-back guarantee at Square One. Because you come first. Always.

You have to do your homework and your due diligence. Find out how much chiropractor Singapore cost. We are going to guess your experience with discount chiropractors will be no less unpleasant than the ones I had back in the day.

Cheap chiropractors in Singapore offer steep promotion (up to 94% on Fave, believe it or not) for an opportunity to sell you a package that will easily cost you thousands of dollars.

Most chiropractors in Singapore are also remunerated on a sales-based commission model. Not results! There is no incentive to help you get better, faster. Their relationship with you ends the moment you commit – on pen and paper – to their package. From that moment on, you become one of the many bodies that pass through their clinic each day.

Affordable and cheap care, albeit at the expense of a quality and meaningful therapeutic relationship, is their selling point!

You have been warned. Make sure you ask those questions before moving ahead. Based on their responses, you should be able to gauge if they are indeed the right place for you.

People purchase the cheapest products on the market not because they are price motivated. It’s because they do not know better. Clinics selling subpar quick fix treatments aren’t going to want to take the time to explain what you’re paying for in language you can understand. They want to take your money and be working on the next patients as fast as possible to maximise their profit turnover. Maybe no one has taken the time to explain to you what exactly you should be looking for, but you can’t use the excuse for yourself anymore!

*We are not part of the chiropractic association in Singapore because their code of ethics forbids members from selling packages more than twelve sessions. We disagree. We think the code of ethics should not allow for chiropractic packages at all.

How Many Chiropractic Visits Do I Truly Need?

Do you know over 80% of our clients leave our care within 4 to 7 visits? Doesn’t matter if it’s neck pain, shoulder pain, or knee pain. We are about helping you achieve pain-free living and with full function.

Why do we get such results? It’s because exercise works. We believe exercise-based therapy, endorsed as first-choice treatment by virtually all international clinical guidelines, is the way to long-term pain relief.

If you are asking us how many chiropractic treatments you need in total to get better, I’d say four to seven visits should suffice. We do not particularly like the idea of maintenance/wellness care because we think that means you are not truly better.

But for argument’s sake, how often should you see a chiropractor if you want to keep coming back? Based on a study in 2018, patients who come back for regular chiropractic visits experienced 13 fewer days of lower back pain compared to the control group. On average, the participants saw the chiropractor for just under 9 visits a year. So, that works out to one visit every month or two months.

If you are looking to buy a 12 or 16 session package to be used over a year, that might make sense. Anything more, as supported by academic literature, is a bit of an overkill.

How to find a value-for-money chiropractor in Singapore?

The truth is you will likely pay more per visit at Square One. (The most expensive by far charges $120 for two minutes). We understand our approach to care is different (long treatment sessions, prescribed home exercises, and more expensive fees) and does not suit everyone.

We charge more per session because we spend more time with our clients to make sure we correctly understand their needs. It’s that simple! The result? Our patients get better faster.

Each and every one of our patients is unique and we want to ensure we customise their care to their specific needs. We believe in giving you more value for your dollar. Because that’s what builds a stronger, healthier community.

We consistently deliver results our competitors cannot match! We are one of the most successful clinics in Singapore with a stellar track record of 100% 5-star reviews on Google (as of publication time). Don’t forget – we are still the only clinic with a 100% money-back policy in place!

There are many good reasons to see a chiropractor but only you can decide who is best for you. Finding an affordable chiropractor Singapore is hard work and we welcome you to talk to us should you need more help in determining who is best for you. We promise to stay as impartial as reasonably possible!
