You might have asked yourself why the price of Chiropractic Care varies from office to office? You could take that question further by asking why the amount of care for the price changes from office to office? These questions have been presented several times by myself and patients alike for decades. There are two main contributing factors to setting fees for Chiropractic Care: Medicare and Workers’ Compensation fee schedules.

Medicare has an established fee schedule that a Chiropractor must.

Have you ever wondered why Chiropractors have different styles of treatment? Considering that there are 49 total Chiropractic Educational Institutions in the world, 18 of them are in the USA, you could have 49 different philosophies being administered therein. Then you have 11 major technique styles. Then add in multiple post graduate methods. Now add over 100,000 chiropractors in the world with their individual personalities, and what do you get? A lot of differing experiences in all of these doctor’s offices. These are some of the most popular techniques:  Applied Kinesiology (AK): Testing muscle tone to determine joint dysfunction  Diversified Technique: Full-spine manipulation using different adjusting techniques .
