1
We talk
You tell us what’s going on, how long it’s been going on, and what you’ve already tried. We go through your health history.
2
We examine
A physical and postural examination, plus computerised thermal scanning. If we think you need imaging before we touch you, we’ll say so.
3
We explain what we found
In plain language, before any treatment. Including whether chiropractic is the right answer for you. Sometimes it isn’t, and we’ll tell you that.
4
You decide
If care makes sense, most patients have their first adjustment the same day. You’ll know the plan and the cost before you agree to it.
Expert Chiropractic Care
for Enhanced Focus and Energy
While most patients come to us for pain relief, our team doesn’t just work on symptom relief but also on correcting the underlying causes to restore health and vitality. Our focus on structural stability is one of the practice features that makes us unique. We’re also highly trained in corrective care to repair current tissue damage and create a strong structural foundation.
Our patients experience significant relief from nerve pain and other physical discomforts with our advanced chiropractic techniques. We also feature innovative technology, including computerised thermal scanning capabilities and advanced instrument adjusting.
5 Smart Strategies for Better Health
At Lion City Chiropractic, we focus on helping you improve your health through our expert chiropractic services. Alongside this, there are key lifestyle strategies that we recommend to support your overall well-being and help you feel and function at your best.
ALIGN
Support optimal brain-body communication through proper spinal alignment. When your spine moves well, your nervous system can function more efficiently—helping reduce discomfort and improve overall performance.
MOVE
Stay active with regular movement. Strength, mobility, and endurance all play a key role in maintaining physical health and reducing the risk of injury.
DETOXIFY
Support your body’s natural processes by minimising exposure to harmful substances and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.
NOURISH
Fuel your body with nutrient-rich, whole foods. A balanced diet supports energy levels, recovery, and long-term health.
THINK
Develop a positive and resilient mindset. Managing stress and maintaining good mental well-being are essential for overall health.
Our goal is to provide personalised care that meets your unique needs.

Epic Z Zx
Went to Lion City Chiro via a referral. Have been there for about 8 sessions now, and throughout those 8 sessions, the team has been nothing short of patient and professional. Under the care of the team, have experienced a more relaxed and less tensed overall health. Will definitely recommend those who face stiff posture issues to give this team a try.

Doctor Shara has been very professional and knowledgeable in her field of work. I felt really great after a series of treatment sessions. Better sleep quality and eliminated knee pain after long runs. Would definitely recommend anyone who needs some spine adjustments.

What it costs
A first visit at Lion City Chiropractic includes a consultation, a physical and postural examination, and a discussion of findings. It runs longer than a follow-up, so it costs more.
Follow-up sessions are shorter and priced lower. We tell you the full cost of your care plan before you commit to anything, and we do not sell long prepaid packages.
Chiropractic in Singapore generally runs SGD 80 to SGD 200 a session.
Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions do chiropractors treat?
Chiropractors commonly help with back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, slipped disc symptoms, posture-related strain, and sports injuries. At Lion City Chiropractic, we assess your condition first to confirm chiropractic care is right for you before recommending any treatment.
Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments are widely recognised as a safe, non-invasive, drug-free approach to musculoskeletal pain when performed by a trained chiropractor. We conduct a thorough consultation and examination before your first adjustment to ensure care is appropriate for you.
How much does a chiropractic session cost in Singapore?
We’ll always explain your care plan and costs upfront, no surprises and no pressure to commit to long packages. Get a quote here.
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a chiropractor?
No referral is needed. Chiropractors are primary contact practitioners in Singapore, which means you can book an appointment with us directly.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit includes a consultation about your health history, a physical and postural examination, and a discussion of our findings. If chiropractic care suits your condition, you may receive your first adjustment on the same day. Expect the visit to take around 45–60 minutes.
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Most patients find adjustments comfortable, and many feel immediate relief. You may hear a popping sound which is simply gas releasing from the joint, not bones cracking.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition, how long you’ve had it, and your goals. Some patients feel significant improvement within a few visits, while chronic issues may need a longer care plan. We’ll give you an honest recommendation after your initial assessment.
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance in Singapore?
Some private insurance and corporate health plans cover chiropractic treatment. Check with your insurer, and we can provide receipts and documentation for your claims.
Are chiropractors regulated in Singapore?
Chiropractic is a Traditional and Complementary Medicine practice in Singapore and is not currently licensed under a statutory board. Both chiropractors at Lion City Chiropractic hold a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from an accredited institution. Ask any clinic where their chiropractor trained before you book — a straight answer should be easy to get.
Can I claim chiropractic on my Singapore health insurance?
Some private and corporate plans cover chiropractic care, usually under outpatient or complementary therapy benefits. MediSave and MediShield Life do not. Check your policy wording or ask your HR team. We provide itemised receipts and any documentation your insurer asks for.
Where is your clinic and how do I get there?
We’re at #B1-49/50, 60 Paya Lebar Road, Singapore 409051, in the basement level. Paya Lebar MRT is a short walk on the Circle and East West lines. We regularly see patients from Aljunied, MacPherson, Boon Keng, Katong and Marine Parade.
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Yes, when the chiropractor is trained in prenatal care. Both of our chiropractors see pregnant patients. Adjustments are modified for each trimester, using tables and positioning that take pressure off the abdomen. Most patients come to us for pelvic pain, lower back pain and sciatic symptoms.
Do you treat children?
Yes. Paediatric adjustments use very light pressure and look nothing like adult treatment. Parents usually bring children in for posture, gait, sports strain, or after a fall. We assess first and refer to a paediatrician if something falls outside chiropractic scope.
Should I see a chiropractor or a physiotherapist?
They overlap. Chiropractic focuses on joint movement and spinal alignment through manual adjustment. Physiotherapy leans more on exercise-based rehabilitation and load management. Many patients need both. If we think physiotherapy is the better fit for your condition, we will say so at your assessment.
How soon will I feel better?
Some patients notice a change after one session. Others take several weeks, especially if the problem has been building for years. We give you an honest estimate after your assessment, and we review progress rather than putting you on an open-ended plan.
Can I come in for maintenance if nothing hurts?
Yes. A good number of our patients come in periodically once their original complaint has cleared, to keep on top of posture and mobility. It’s optional. We’ll never tell you that you have to keep coming.
