How much does an osteopathic treatment cost in Ottawa?

One of the first questions a person looking for an osteopath asks themselves is: How much will it cost? Unfortunately, many people run into a roadblock when they research online as very few practitioners publish their prices online and where prices are shown the costs and length of treatment can be a little confusing.

If you have never been to an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner before then all will need you to come for an initial consultation. The cost of an initial varies between $100 to $150 and varies between 45 minutes and 1 hour in length.

There are a couple of Osteopathic Practitioners in Ottawa who offer a free consultation and only charge for treatment. For the others the consultation will not include treatment or it will dependent on the time needed the time left in the appointment. You will normally be given the option to have treatment after the consult, dependent on time available.

Follow up appointments are a little more confusing as different practitioners offer different appointment lengths. These can range between 15 minutes and 1 hour and of course cost can vary accordingly. The reason for the differing appointment lengths is mostly dependent on what diagnostic and treatment approach the practitioner normally uses. For example, a more traditional Osteopathic practitioner such as Robert Black, will usually have a follow up of 60 minutes costing $120 while myself I normally have a 30 minute follow up costing $80.

So, I hope that helps, in some part, to answer your question regarding the cost of osteopathic treatment in Ottawa. If you have any questions or comments please leave them below, and I will get back to you asap.
