Chiropractors focus on the spine and joints and how they move. Treatment usually centres on adjustments: quick, controlled movements of a joint, often with a click. Many also use soft tissue work and give exercises. People book for lower back pain, a stiff neck, headaches they link to posture, or a back that tightens after long hours at a desk.
A chiropractor is not the same as a physiotherapist or an osteopath, even if the problems overlap. Physios lean on exercise and rehab, osteopaths on a wider range of hands-on techniques, and chiropractors on spinal adjustment. If you are unsure, ask each one how they would approach your problem. For new, severe or unexplained pain, see a doctor first.
What you pay depends on whether it is a first visit or a follow-up, whether X-rays or scans are requested, and how many sessions are planned. First visits are usually longer because they include a history and an examination. Be careful with long prepaid packages agreed on day one. Ask how progress will be reviewed and when the plan ends.

Questions
How much does a chiropractor cost in Malta?
The first visit usually costs more than a follow-up because it includes a full history and examination. The total depends on how many visits you need and whether imaging is requested. Some practices sell packages. Ask what a single visit costs, compare it with the package, and agree on a point where you review whether it is helping.
Chiropractor, osteopath or physiotherapist: which should I see?
All three treat back, neck and joint problems, and all three are registered professions in Malta. Chiropractors centre on spinal adjustment, osteopaths use a broader mix of hands-on techniques, and physios focus more on exercise and rehab. Your GP can help you decide. Whoever you choose, ask how they would treat your specific problem.
Is there a chiropractor in the south of Malta or in Gozo?
Searches show people looking for chiropractors by area, from Naxxar and Attard to St Julian's and the south. Check the towns on each profile and ask about parking and opening hours. If you live in Gozo, ask whether a practitioner holds sessions there or how many trips to Malta a typical plan would take.
How do I check a chiropractor is registered in Malta?
Chiropractors must be on the register of the Council for the Professions Complementary to Medicine. Ask for their full name before you book and confirm it with the Council. In a shared clinic, the chiropractor, physio and massage therapist may all be different people with different qualifications, so check the person who will treat you.
