Opening Hours / Fees

We believe that high-quality chiropractic care in Edinburgh should be accessible to as many people as possible. To support this commitment, we have structured our chiropractor prices to be highly competitive, ensuring you receive exceptional value for your treatment.

When comparing fees, we feel it is important that you are suitably informed to be able to compare like for like. The duration of treatment visits can vary noticeably between chiropractic clinics, as can the services provided – not all chiropractic clinics offer or include treatment on the first visit for instance. Some other questions when looking for a chiropractor might also include whether they perform any soft tissue work as part of the treatment price, or whether you will be provided with some rehabilitative exercises? You might also wish to find out if you will be treated in a private consulting room or open-plan clinic, as practice facilities can vary.

Furthermore, we are pleased to offer special discounts for specific groups, including students, those over 65, and a 10% discount to all NHS, Police Scotland, and Scottish Fire & Rescue Service personnel. Our goal is to provide transparent and affordable care without compromising on the quality of your health and well-being.

Alan and Tony do not charge for any patients under 10 years old but ask only for a donation, to the amount of their choice, to our designated charity Place2Be. Please note that this does not include babies and small children seen by our paediatric chiropractor, Katie.

We accept cash, cheques and most major credit and debit cards, including American Express (AMEX).

Please note that there will be a Full Charge for missed appointments if not cancelled 24 hours before. Please phone if you are unable to make your appointment time, so we can give that space to someone in need.

We are proud to be covered by most major health insurance schemes, making it easier for you to access quality chiropractic treatment in Edinburgh. Our accepted providers include Bupa, Axa, Aviva, WPA and Vitlality . Please let us know if you intend to use any health insurance when you are making your initial appointment as it may determine which chiropractor you see. For example, If you are searching for a BUPA Chiropractor Edinburgh, please note that Alan is currently the only chiropractor at our clinic who accepts cover from BUPA.

We recommend contacting your insurance company prior to your initial appointment to verify your chiropractor insurance coverage and obtain any necessary authorisation codes or policy numbers.  Some insurance companies may also require you to obtain a GP referral, so again please check with your provider. We deal with some of the major providers directly but for others we will issue statements for your treatment costs for you to seek reimbursement yourself. Our reception team is happy to assist with any questions you have regarding your policy or our direct billing process.
