Fees & Our Patient Results
Experienced Chiropractors with happy patients
Our approach is simple – a clear and honest approach, getting you better as quick as possible. You will:-
- Have clear explanation of what is/are the problem(s)
- Be treated on the first consultation (where appropriate for your problem).
- Advised how to help yourself – to help you get better in the fastest period of time.
Common new patient questions
- How long is it likely take to feel better better?
- How much is it likely to cost?
- Is this the right clinic with the right staff for me?
To try to answer these important questions we encourage our new patients to fill out a ‘cloud based patient progress’ report called a PROM (Patient Reported Outcome Measure- Care Response). The collected PROM data (see below) is controlled by you the patients and tell us you on average:-
- How satisfied/happy you are with the Chiropractors, staff and clinic.
- How long it takes for you to feel better.
- How many treatments are needed on to feel better and so cost to you.
After we have examined you at the consultation we can be more specific – do we expect you to take less and or more treatments than the average. Our 50+ years of combined experience means we are generally very accurate at this prediction now. Look at our real patient results below.

Patients feeling better by time (Patient Global Improvement of Change – PGIC)
These bar graphs show us in percentage terms how much better patients are over time compared to their initial consultation.
- At 14 days after the first consultation 70% of patients reported feeling better.
- At 30 days it has risen to 78% and
- At 90 days or 3 months down the line 84% of the patients are feeling better.
- You can see from the results that the average number of visits over a 90 day period was to 4.5. This equates to an average cost of £181 (1 x £55 + 3.5 x £36)
What is a realistic number of treatments & cost to get well?
Touch / mouse over to viewSimilar to a car service*
The average patient takes just 4.50 visits to feel 84% better and this costs £181 (1 x £55 + 3.5 X £36)
Fees
- Initial consultation (inc. treatment if appropriate) – £55.
- Further Treatments – £36.
- Children under 18 have a reduced consultation and treatment fee.
If you pay for yourself we accept debit and credit cards (not American Express) and still cash and cheques! Those patients with private medical insurance or paid referral from companies/sports clubs etc will be placed ‘on account’. An administrative fee will be added to the the above fees to manage your account.
