Chiropractor in Toronto

By Dr. Joshua Gelber, DC 3 min read

Living without constant stiffness changes daily life in ways many people underestimate until they get there. Choosing a chiropractor in Toronto means finding someone who understands both the mechanics of pain and the demands of city life, from long commutes to desk-bound work. At Annex Family Chiropractic, every first visit starts with real attention to your posture, your spine and the habits that shape your health.

Care that starts with listening

Feeling heard matters from the very first appointment. I take time to understand your history, how you move and what concerns you before recommending anything. Families, athletes and office workers alike get care built around their own bodies, schedules and goals.

Back pain treatment in Toronto

Relief starts with finding the actual source, not masking symptoms. Back pain can come from posture, muscle imbalance, disc problems or repetitive strain built up over months or years. Care usually combines spinal adjustments with home exercises that strengthen the muscles supporting your spine. Read about back pain and sciatica.

Care for active people

Staying active brings real joy, and keeping your body ready for it matters just as much. Many people come to us after sports, work and auto injuries. I assess how your joints move and how your body is compensating, then build a plan around getting you back to what you love. Mobility and performance.

What happens during an adjustment

Knowing what to expect eases hesitation. An adjustment is a controlled, precise movement applied to a specific joint to restore how it moves. Every plan is tailored to your assessment, so no two look exactly alike. Many people notice they move more easily after an adjustment, and ongoing care builds on that over time.

About Dr. Joshua Gelber

I hold an Honours Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from York University and a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Logan University in Missouri, earned in 2003. Annex Family Chiropractic opened after eleven years of hands-on clinical practice. Meet Dr. Joshua Gelber.

Your first visit and spine assessment

Your first appointment includes a detailed health history, a postural analysis and an exam of your spinal alignment, mobility and nerve function. X-rays are used only when they're clinically indicated, never automatically. If you need them, they're taken off site and OHIP covers the cost. On your second visit, I explain what I found and what I recommend, so you can decide with the full picture. What to expect.

Techniques tailored to you

No single technique suits every body. I focus on a small set of precise techniques and choose based on your age, your condition and your comfort:

  • Hands-on adjustments, with lighter or standard force
  • Instrument adjustments when they suit you better
  • Very light, precise contact for babies and children

Posture and desk strain

Small daily habits add up over years of desk work and phone use. We look at your posture as part of every exam, then combine adjustments with stretches, strengthening exercises and ergonomic changes at home or work. Posture and desk strain.
