What to Expect During Your Visits
If you have never seen a chiropractor before or had a past experience you were not happy with, it is completely understandable to feel unsure. Every step is explained before it happens and you will never be rushed or kept guessing about what comes next.
Advanced Spinal Scanning Sets Us Apart
In simple terms, these scans show what your body is doing that you cannot yet feel. The scans are completely non-invasive, involve no X-rays and take only minutes. The Insight Subluxation Station combines three precise spinal-neural measurements most clinics do not offer, mapping your spinal and stress-related health with clinical precision.
- NeuroThermal: Detects temperature differences along your spine, revealing how spinal stress may affect your organs, glands and circulation.
- NeuroCore (sEMG): Evaluates muscle activity along your spine, identifying overworking muscles and underactive areas affected by nerve interference.
- NeuroPulse (HRV): Assesses heart rate variability to measure how your autonomic nervous system adapts to stress.
At your second visit, your detailed scan report is reviewed before any treatment begins, ensuring a completely personalized care plan.
Simple Claims, Easy Coverage
Chiropractic Insurance and Coverage
Recognized as a top-rated chiropractic provider on Lumino Health, Sun Life's official extended health benefits directory, our chiropractor makes the insurance process straightforward for every patient. If your plan includes chiropractic coverage, an official receipt is issued after every visit with all the details your insurer requires. Chiropractic care is not covered by OHIP. Most extended health benefit plans through employers do include coverage for chiropractic visits. Checking your annual limit before your first visit may help you plan accordingly. Recommended by the Family Health Advocacy Centre for evidence-informed, patient-centred care, our chiropractor is committed to making quality chiropractic accessible for every patient.
Treat The Cause, Not Symptoms
Why Our Chiropractic Care Gets Lasting Results
Most people come in carrying pain they have learned to live around. They aren't pain-free, they are just managing. At Annex Family Chiropractic, we believe you shouldn't have to just manage pain. You should be free of it. That is why we never start with treatment. We start with understanding your spine, your nervous system and your life. When we find what is actually causing the problem and correct it, the results go far beyond basic pain relief. Our patients frequently tell us that their sleep improves, their energy returns and they finally feel like themselves again. By restoring proper spinal alignment, we help reduce recurring injuries, improve posture and enhance overall body balance. True chiropractic care works because it works with your body, not against it.
