Chiropractic Price in Puchong: What a Session Costs
Three publishable tiers, one honest table. RM300 for the first visit including the full assessment, RM150 for follow-up adjustments, RM98 for sports massage and soft tissue. Specialised equipment is quoted per treatment plan. No quote request, no phone call required first.
Why Chiropractic Pricing Is Hard to Find — and Why That Matters
The most common complaint about chiropractic in Malaysian forums is not about the treatment. It is about what happens before the treatment: nobody will tell you the price until you are already sitting in the clinic.
Three threads on Lowyat.net, all separate, all converge on the same point. One person wrote: “they charge 200-300 which is pricey for me” — not that they thought the treatment was worthless, but that they had no way to compare two clinics before committing to a visit. Another: “I was quoted RM100 per session and it is only 15 minutes. Is this normal rate?” A third: “alway hard sell those package to you, expensive af but not guarantee fixed your issue.”
These are not fringe concerns. They are the questions that stop people who need care from booking it. A clinic that publishes its prices answers all three before anyone picks up the phone.
The Published Tiers at Trinity Chiropractic Puchong
The rates below were supplied by the clinic and are current at time of publication. They are flat per-session rates, not starting-from figures. The first visit costs more than a follow-up because it includes the diagnostic work — the spinal and postural examination, range-of-motion and neurological assessment, and a reading of any X-rays you already have. That cost does not recur.
| Session | What it includes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Manual care | ||
| First visit — consultation and adjustment | Spinal and postural examination, range-of-motion and neurological assessment, analysis of X-rays you already have, and the first adjustment | RM300 |
| Follow-up adjustment | Progress check, localised adjustment, and ergonomic and postural guidance | RM150 |
| Sports massage and soft tissue therapy | Deep tissue work and muscle release — trigger points, neck and shoulder stiffness, lower back tension | RM98 |
| Equipment and community | ||
| Specialised modalities | EMS Guided Dolorclast laser and shockwave for chronic inflammation; HillDT motorised spinal decompression for disc conditions | Quoted per plan |
| Spine screenings and community roadshows | Periodic free spine checks at community events | Complimentary |

What the Forum Complaints Are Actually Asking
Is RM100 for 15 minutes a fair rate?
The forum post that asked this was not complaining about the price per minute. It was complaining about not knowing what a reasonable rate looked like. At Trinity, the follow-up adjustment is RM150 — which is more than RM100. But a follow-up adjustment includes a progress check and a specific treatment based on what the assessment established at the first visit. A 15-minute session at RM100 from an unknown baseline is impossible to evaluate. A session at RM150 from a published tier, from a practitioner whose credentials are listed and checkable, is not.
What about packages?
The forum complaint about packages — “alway hard sell those package to you” — is about being pushed into committing to a course of treatment before knowing whether the first session even helps. Trinity’s published model is per-session. A treatment plan is agreed before any course begins, and the plan has a stated review point. There is no commitment required at the first visit. Specialised equipment is quoted per treatment plan because the session count genuinely varies by condition — but that quotation is given before, not during, the session.
What Drives the RM300 First-Visit Price
The price differential between the first visit and a follow-up is not a premium for novelty. It is the cost of the diagnostic work that makes subsequent sessions safe and targeted.
At Trinity, both practitioners — Dr. Tan Yen Qi and Dr. Bernice Wong, both BSc (Hons) Chiropractic from IMU University Malaysia — run the Gonstead assessment protocol on a first visit: a static and motion palpation of the spine, a heat-differential instrument scan, a posture and gait observation, and a reading of any imaging you already have. That intake is what the RM300 pays for. The adjustment that follows is quick; the work that justifies it takes the bulk of the hour.
Trinity does not take X-rays on site. If you have scans from a hospital, a GP, or a previous clinic, bring them — they are read as part of the assessment and they change what is appropriate to adjust. If you do not have any, the examination proceeds on the other findings, and you will be referred for imaging if what is found warrants it.
How the Rates Compare to the Klang Valley Range
Forum discussions suggest most Klang Valley clinics fall in the RM100–RM200 per session range for a standard follow-up, with first visits varying widely. Trinity’s follow-up rate of RM150 sits in the middle of that range. Its first-visit rate of RM300 is at the higher end — consistent with the extended diagnostic intake the Gonstead method requires.
The meaningful comparison is not price in isolation but what the price covers. A cheaper first session that skips the assessment is not a better deal if it means the adjustment is a guess. A published price from a registered practitioner is comparable in a way that a phone-quote is not.
The Association of Chiropractic Malaysia represents registered chiropractors in Malaysia. Its member directory provides a starting point for verifying whether a practitioner holds current registration before you book.
What the Pricing Does Not Cover
A few things that routinely cause confusion:
- X-ray costs — Trinity reviews scans you already have. It does not take new X-rays on site. If imaging is needed and you do not have any, you would be referred elsewhere for it, and that cost is separate.
- Specialised modalities — EMS Guided Dolorclast shockwave therapy and HillDT spinal decompression are quoted per treatment plan because the number of sessions varies by condition. You receive a quote before committing to any course.
- Rehabilitation exercises — The exercises prescribed between visits are part of the treatment plan, not a separately charged add-on.

Common Questions About Chiropractic Pricing
What people ask before booking a first appointment.
RM300, which includes the full first-visit assessment — spinal and postural examination, range-of-motion and neurological testing, a reading of any X-rays you already have, and the first adjustment. Follow-up adjustments are RM150. Sports massage and soft tissue therapy is RM98. These are flat per-session rates, not starting-from figures.
The first visit includes the diagnostic intake: a full spinal assessment using the Gonstead protocol, a heat-differential instrument scan, posture and gait observation, and a review of any imaging you have. That work takes around an hour and is what justifies everything that follows. Follow-up visits are shorter because the assessment has already established which segment is being treated.
Forum discussions suggest most Klang Valley clinics fall in the RM100–RM200 range for a standard follow-up, so RM150 sits in the middle of that range. What makes the comparison meaningful is what the price covers: Trinity’s rate is published in advance, the practitioner is registered and checkable, and the session is based on an assessment rather than a general manipulation.
No. Trinity’s published rates are per-session. A treatment plan is agreed with you before any course of sessions begins, and there is no obligation to commit at the first visit. If a multi-session plan is recommended, it will include a stated review point — a set of visits, then a reassessment of whether it is working.
Because the number of sessions genuinely varies by the condition being treated. The per-session rate for manual care is stable and comparable between patients; for equipment-assisted treatment like EMS Guided Dolorclast shockwave or HillDT spinal decompression, the course length determines the cost. You receive the quotation before committing to any course.
Trinity does not take X-rays on site. If you already have scans from a hospital, a GP, or a previous clinic, bring them — reading them is included in the first-visit fee. If you do not have any, the assessment proceeds on the other findings. If imaging is needed and you do not have it, you will be referred elsewhere for it, and that cost is separate from the clinic fee.
Sports massage and soft tissue therapy at RM98 covers deep tissue work and muscle release — trigger points, neck and shoulder stiffness, lower back tension. It can be used as a standalone session or alongside a chiropractic adjustment. It does not include an adjustment; if you need both, you would be looking at two sessions or a combined plan.
Both practitioners — Dr. Tan Yen Qi and Dr. Bernice Wong — hold current Annual Practising Certificates under the Traditional and Complementary Medicine Act 2016, with Pengamal Tempatan AKTIF status. Registration does not itself affect the per-session rate, but it is the basis on which you can compare two clinics fairly: a published price from a registered practitioner is a different proposition from an unverified phone quote.
