Questions

Before you book

Can't find your answer? Message us on WhatsApp: Wisma Atria +65 9455 1974 or Novena +65 9855 3839 — we usually reply within the hour during clinic hours.

How much does treatment cost?

First consultation is $180 before GST. Follow-up sessions start from $62 before GST. Your doctor gives you a full cost estimate before any treatment plan begins.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No. You can book directly with us. If you've seen a GP or specialist, feel free to bring their notes.

Is it covered by insurance or my company plan?

Many insurance and company health plans cover chiropractic care. We don’t bill insurers directly: you pay at the clinic after each visit, and we provide itemised receipts and complete any claim forms or medical reports your insurer needs. You then submit these to your insurer or HR to be reimbursed. Coverage differs between plans, so check with your insurer what your plan includes.

Is chiropractic safe? Does it hurt?

Chiropractic care from a qualified chiropractor is safe and gentle, and most patients find it relaxing rather than painful. Before any treatment, your doctor reviews your health history and checks that chiropractic is right for you. During an adjustment you may hear a soft “pop”, which is simply released gas in the joint. Some people feel mild stiffness for a day or so afterwards, similar to after exercise. If you’re nervous, just tell us: we also use very gentle, low-force techniques such as the Activator and drop table.

Should I bring my X-rays or MRI?

Yes, if you have them. Bring any recent scans or reports to your first visit — they help us understand your condition faster.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition. Your doctor explains a likely number of sessions after your assessment, before you commit to anything.
