Keep scrolling for the full pricing breakdown, what’s actually included, and why chiropractic care often costs less than the alternatives.
If you’re searching for chiropractor cost in Brooklyn, you probably want a straight answer before you commit. Fair enough. Below, we’ll walk you through what care actually costs in our Greenpoint clinic, how we compare to Brooklyn and Manhattan averages, and what you can expect to pay with or without insurance. No vague answers, no upsells, no surprises.
What your $150 covers
We designed the new patient visit to answer your questions in one appointment. No coming back three times before you find out what’s actually going on. For $150, here’s everything you get:
- Detailed consultation. Dr. Patel reviews your health history, current symptoms, and what you’re hoping to get out of care. Bring your questions.
- Full exam. Orthopedic and neurological testing to find the cause of your pain, not just the symptom.
- Digital X-rays if needed. Taken on-site at no extra charge. No separate radiology bill. If your exam doesn’t call for imaging, we skip them.
- Report of findings. We explain what we found in plain language, and give you an honest estimate of how many visits you’ll need.
- First adjustment. If you’re a good fit for care, treatment starts at that same visit.
That’s $750 worth of care for $150. We priced it this way because the cost of finding out what’s wrong shouldn’t be a barrier. One pattern we see over and over in Greenpoint is people waiting months, sometimes years, because they assume chiropractic care is out of reach. It isn’t.

Who we treat in Greenpoint
After 16 years of practice, Dr. Patel has seen just about every version of back, neck, and joint pain there is. A few of the situations we see most often:
- Desk workers. Neck, shoulder, and lower back pain from 8 hours a day at a laptop. Tech neck, rounded shoulders, tight hips from sitting too long.
- Athletes and weekend warriors. Runners training for the Brooklyn Half, climbers from VITAL, cyclists, lifters. Acute injuries and performance maintenance.
- Pregnancy and postpartum. Low back pain, sciatica, pelvic alignment. Gentle techniques adapted for each trimester.
- Car accident recovery. Whiplash, neck pain, soft tissue injuries. Often fully covered through no-fault.
- Chronic pain patients who’ve tried everything else. You’ve done PT, you’ve had the injections, you’re not ready for surgery. This is where we spend most of our time.
Why chiropractic often costs less than the alternatives
For most musculoskeletal pain, chiropractic care is dramatically less expensive than the standard medical path. Look at the numbers:
- MRI scan: $500 to $3,000 (often required before a surgeon will even see you)
- Epidural steroid injections: $1,000 to $3,000 per injection, usually 2 or 3 injections
- Spinal surgery: $50,000 to $150,000, plus months of recovery and rehab
- Ongoing pain medication: $50 to $300 per month indefinitely, with side effects and dependency risk
A full chiropractic treatment plan for back pain at our Greenpoint clinic runs $500 to $1,500 across 6 to 12 weeks. A 2024 study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that patients who started with chiropractic care for low back pain had 40% lower total healthcare costs over two years compared to those who started with a medical doctor visit.
Many patients tell Dr. Patel the same thing after their first visit: “I wish I’d come here first.”

Frequently asked questions
How much does a chiropractor cost in Brooklyn without insurance?
Without insurance, chiropractic adjustments in Brooklyn typically run $65 to $150 per visit. Initial exams with X-rays usually run $150 to $350. At Brooklyn Chiropractic Care, the new patient visit is $150 flat and includes the exam, X-rays if needed, and first treatment. Follow-up adjustments are $100.
Are X-rays always included in the $150?
If X-rays are clinically indicated during your exam, we take them on-site at no extra charge. If your exam doesn’t call for imaging, we skip them and you still get everything else in the $150 package. Either way, you never get a surprise radiology bill.
What about my insurance?
We’re in-network with Healthfirst (non-Medicaid) and Emblem Health. If you have out-of-network benefits with another plan, we handle courtesy billing on your behalf. For HSA or FSA reimbursement, we always provide an itemized receipt. Call us if you want to talk through what this looks like for your specific plan.
Is chiropractic care worth the cost?
For most musculoskeletal conditions, yes. For back pain specifically, the 2024 Blanchette study cited above found 40% lower two-year healthcare costs for patients who started with chiropractic versus a medical doctor. You’re treating the cause, not masking the symptom.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your condition. Acute issues like a stiff neck or minor strain often resolve in 3 to 6 visits. Chronic conditions or disc injuries typically need 8 to 12 visits over several weeks. Dr. Patel gives you an honest estimate after your first exam, before you commit to any plan.
What if I was hurt in a car accident or at work?
No-fault auto insurance and workers’ compensation both cover chiropractic care for accident-related injuries. In most cases, you pay nothing out of pocket. Our front desk handles the billing with the insurer directly.
