The short answer
How much a chiropractor costs in London
Across 14 London chiropractic clinics, checked on 22 October 2026, the middle price for a first visit came to £95 and for a follow-up £65. The lowest first-visit price came in at £80 and the highest at £160, and follow-ups ran from £55 to £90. Prices in the City and Canary Wharf sit around the middle of that range.
Length matters as much as price. Some follow-ups last 15 or 20 minutes and others 30 or 60, so a cheaper visit can cost more per minute. If you are comparing, you can see Harvey’s fees at 30 South Colonnade with the length of every visit.

How much is a chiropractor across the UK?
Outside London, fees tend to be lower. In 66 posts on UK forums where patients mention what they paid per visit, the middle figure came to £40 and most fell between £34 and £50, though many of those posts are several years old, so treat them as a floor.
First visit and follow-up prices
A first visit costs more than a follow-up because it includes the history, the examination and the explanation, and often the first treatment too. Ask whether yours does: some clinics charge for a consultation and examination only and treat at the next visit. Follow-ups are shorter and cheaper, and the number you need matters more to your total than the price of any one visit.
X-rays and extra costs
An X-ray should never be a routine extra. Most people with back pain that was not caused by an injury do not need one, and an X-ray should only be taken when there is a clear reason for you. If an X-ray or scan is suggested, ask why and what it costs before you agree. Treat a low first-visit price that comes bundled with a check-up and X-ray with caution.
What a course of chiropractic care costs
The total depends on how many visits you need, and that should be short and agreed in writing. The General Chiropractic Council tells patients that a chiropractor will rarely recommend a plan of three, six or twelve months after one or two visits, that fees should be agreed in advance with no significant up-front cost, and that you can stop at any time without paying for treatment you have not received. Five of the 14 London clinics checked sell prepaid plans; you do not have to buy one to be treated.
Is a chiropractor worth the money?
That depends on the problem and on the practitioner. For low back pain, NICE suggests considering manual therapy as part of a plan that includes exercise, so value comes from a visit that explains what is going on, treats it and leaves you with exercises, then reviews progress after a few visits. A long prepaid plan sold on the first day is one of the patterns unhappy patients regret in reviews.
Chiropractic on the NHS and with insurance
The NHS treats chiropractic as a complementary therapy and does not routinely offer it, so nearly everyone pays privately; NHS physiotherapy is the free alternative. Some health insurance policies cover chiropractic, often with a limit, so check yours before booking. If you plan to claim, here is how paying with insurance works at 30 South Colonnade.
What it costs at 30 South Colonnade
Harvey’s published price list puts a 60-minute first visit at £115, including treatment if it suits you, and follow-ups at £80 for 30 minutes or £110 for 60, read on 22 October 2026. That sits above the London middle for a first visit, with a longer appointment than many. You pay per visit, there is no package to buy when you book, and you can start on the first visit form.

questions
How much is a chiropractor session in London?
A follow-up session costs £55 to £90 at the 14 London clinics checked on 22 October 2026, with £65 in the middle, and a first visit costs £80 to £160. Compare the length as well as the price. At 30 South Colonnade, Harvey’s follow-ups are £80 for 30 minutes or £110 for 60.
Are chiropractors expensive in the UK?
Less so outside London: UK patients on forums report paying around £40 a visit, though many posts are old. London first visits run £80 to £160. Most of the cost is the number of visits, so a short plan matters more than a cheap visit.
Why does a first chiropractor visit cost more?
Because it is longer and does more: a history, an examination, a plain account of the problem and often the first treatment. Some clinics price the consultation separately from treatment, so ask. Harvey’s published fee, £115 for 60 minutes, includes treatment if it suits you.
Is the lowest-priced chiropractor in London a good choice?
Price alone is a poor guide. Check the register, the appointment length, what the first visit includes and whether a prepaid plan is expected. A cheap first visit followed by a long plan can cost far more overall, so ask what the whole course is likely to cost before you commit.
