Dr. Gelber has made an incredible improvement on my overall physical and mental well-being. I work a physically demanding job and have always had dull back pain and stiffness, along with a less than ideal posture. After about 6 months of regular appointments, I noticed that my posture had improved dramatically. It was no longer an effort to have correct posture, rather that's what felt comfortable and I hadn't felt that at any point in my life. My back pain and stiffness is greatly reduced and often non existent. Highly recommend! Less

I have been attending Annex Family Chiropractic for the past 4 years and couldn't be happier with the results and my experience. I had seen several chiropractors in the past which would treat the pain but not the root cause. After my first meeting with Dr. Gelber, I realized his approach was different. He truly cares about your long-term health and routine x-rays and spinal scans allow me to see the benefits of his chiropractic care over time. After attending Annex Family Chiropractic, I no longer have to take frequent breaks during household chores or at work because of my back and neck pain. I perform better at the gym and my overall health has improved. I would 100% recommend Annex Family Chiropractic and Dr. Gelber! Less

Since I came to Canada in 2018, I was looking for a specialist for my back because I had pain in my lower back. Every specialist was temporanely fixing the problem. Dr Gelber analyzed the problem and he is fixing at the source. As a result I was able to reduce the pain in the beginning and now when I go to the gym I am pain free after a few months of treatment. It's really important to exercise without any pain in my lower back. I strongly recommend if you are looking a specialist for your back. Additionally I feel like I am home every time I go for a treatment and we have a big plan to maintain the results in the future. Less

The past year, I've been seeing various health professionals to help me feel better/comfortable in my body. My physiotherapist recommended I see a chiropractor to help with some back/neck concerns but I was hesitant since I've seen a couple different doctor's over the years and wasn't impressed. But I am happy to report that with regular appointments I've seen positive improvements with my back with the biggest (unexpected) change in my sleep. I had issues staying asleep before but I've been having no issues falling and staying asleep. If you're looking to feel better - look no further :) Less

I reached out to this clinic to deal with lingering hip and knee pain that's been going on for about 6 months. Having a very active lifestyle, I had to fix this. Dr.Gelber and Grace provided helpful and friendly consultation and got to the treatments right away. Clear communication of the adjustment pressure I was comfortable with definitely helped with the treatments and getting rid of the pain. Highly recommend this clinic and Dr.Gelber. Less

I fractured my lower spine 2 years ago and didn’t receive any treatment at the time . It somewhat healed to the point I’d only mostly feel pain depending on my sitting position or if I had a tough day at work. I’m a mover so my job is very physically demanding. Overtime I started experiencing pain and uncomfortableness from my neck, shoulders, my entire back, even my knees and ankles. I’d feel uncomfortable even when lying down . It was at this point I began my search for a chiropractor. It took some time before I found and chose annex . I personally decided to go with them because they seemed to consider all factors, not just physical, that could contribute to the pain I was feeling. They seemed very knowledgeable. I’m glad I did because ever since I started getting adjusted with annex my condition has improved drastically. The pain from my knees and ankles were pretty much gone after the first couple visits. All the uncomfortableness and pain from my neck down to my spine is almost non existent now. I feel much more capable at work and just doing everyday tasks. Deciding to go with Annex has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Im very happy with my progress so far and look forward to continued progress with them. I would 100% recommend going with annex if you’re thinking about getting chiropractic care. Less

I suffered from low back pain for a long time, and the pandemic made it even worse. I had a herniated disc causing pain to shoot from my lower back down my right leg. Despite trying various therapies—chiropractic, acupuncture, trigger point therapy, osteopathy, massage, Lidocaine injections, and fascial stretch therapy—nothing provided lasting relief. I hadn’t had a good night's sleep in over two years. My first appointment with Dr. Gelber was thorough and consultative, reviewing my health journey and discussing my path to recovery. After just my second adjustment, the pain disappeared like flipping a switch. Dr. Gelber has been crucial in restoring my mobility and changing my life. It’s incredible how much we take simple movements for granted until they’re restricted. Dr. Gelber and Grace clearly have a genuine passion for their work and care deeply for their patients. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking relief and improved quality of life. Less

I've been seeing Dr. Gelber for over a year now. I used to have constant aching pain, stiffness, and tension in my neck and back. I felt like my body could never wind down. Some days it felt hard to stretch, work out, or even turn my head. With personalized chiropractic treatment and exercises, I've been able to feel much less tension, I have significantly improved balance, and I can actually relax!! After every single session, I feel better. I've learned so much about my body and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get help and improve their quality of life! Less

As an experienced Chiro patient, I thought I had seen it all. But today, I'm in awe. Dr. Josh, our session yesterday was one of many for you, but it was a revelation for me. I hadn't come in weeks, and had hurt myself somehow. Yes I'm recovering from serious injuries, but this step back was really frightening. Now, I'm a different person from the one who walked into Annex Family Chiro yesterday. My faith in my future health is greatly restored. Can't thank you enough. I will be back much more frequently, what was I thinking! Less

Working with Dr. Gelber has been transformational in my spine health. Over the past seven months I have seen significant improvements in my posture and pain management. I had been dealing with neck pain for quite some time and a friend referred me to Dr. Gelber based on her positive results and experience. Dr. Gelber’s approach is not to just deal with your current issue, rather he takes a holistic approach and assesses your overall health history to understand the connections and root causes of what brought you to him. This attention to detail ensures that your journey together on improving your health through spinal adjustments is one that provides long term success. What I love the most is the 360 approach to his treatment plan. He provides knowledge videos, at-home exercises and tools that empower you as a patient. I wholeheartedly recommend Annex Family Chiropractic to anyone who is seeking a unique and personalized approach to chiropractic care. Dr Gelber and his team (Grace) have changed my life for the better. Less

I sought Dr. Gelber's expertise due to my persistent lower and mid-back pain that made it challenging for me to walk for even short durations without discomfort. Over the course of the treatment in the past year, I have experienced a positive improvement in my health. Dr. Gelber has a holistic approach through a combination of adjustments, exercises, and insightful guidance. I recommend Dr. Gelber to anyone looking for a chiropractor who goes above and beyond to address not just symptoms but the root causes. Less

Dr. Josh is extremely knowledgeable and was able to point out the exact issue which has been troubling me for years. After only 3 months of adjustments, I can see considerable improvements in not just my posture; but overall spine health. I usually have pain every time I go to the gym, and I have noticed less and less aches when I lift heavy weights these days. I also appreciate all the tools and techniques including the denneroll and exercises that will help me make further long term improvements. Thank you Dr, Josh! Less

When I first came to Dr. Gelber I was immediately impressed with his approach. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much time and attention he placed on properly assessing the body before treating. He integrates scanning technology that gave me clear metrics for establishing my baseline, goals and for tracking progress. As someone who’s results focused I really appreciated this. I’ve also enjoyed the educational component to his process. Emails with informational videos and personal anecdotes of his chiropractic experience has been incredibly helpful and interesting. I’ve learned so much about chiropractic and myself! Coming in for my adjustments was so easy and I was in and out in minutes. I never felt like just a number however, as I was always greeted with a warm smile from both his receptionist Grace and Dr. Gelber. Dr. Gelber is an exceptional Chiropractor. As a colleague I admire his integrity and commitment to client care. His careful attention to detail, professionalism, welcoming disposition and tireless drive for excellence makes him someone I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to my friends, family and clients. Less

I hold the belief that individuals play a pivotal role in influencing one's overall health, surpassing the significance of the treatment itself. The profound and positive influence that people, involved in one's care, can exert is nothing short of remarkable. In this regard, I wish to commend the dedicated staff at Annex Family for their unwavering commitment to providing exemplary care. Not only did they effectively alleviate my backache, but they also provided an uplifting boost to my morale through their thoughtful handwritten cards. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Annex Family to anyone in search of an exceptional chiropractic experience. ✨ Less

Everyone is friendly and accommodating with the visits streamlined so I don't miss a lot of work. Grace has been very understanding and helpful when I've needed to make changes to scheduled visits, and Dr. Gelber always takes the time to answer questions in a way that is easy to understand and leaves me feeling heard, not rushed. Amazing help overall, and I really feel an improvement in my health! Less

I was referred to Dr. Josh by a good friend who had heard me complaining about chronic back/hip pain while training for a half marathon. I'd had this pain on and off for about 6 years and had tried everything - massage therapy, physio, acupuncture, and even another chiropractor - but nothing seemed to fix the issue. The pain sometimes got so bad that I couldn't comfortably sit in a chair, let alone run. Although I was a bit skeptical to try yet another "fix", I put my trust in Dr. Josh and have now been going to him for sessions for the last 10 months. My episodes of pain are now very infrequent, and both the intensity and the recovery time are way down. My experience with chiro has been so positive, even just coming to the office and getting to chat with Grace and Dr. Josh is such a lovely experience. I'm thrilled to make chiro a regular part of my life and will sing Dr. Josh's praises to anyone who will listen! Less

I had a lovely experience here. I had been experiencing some pretty awful left-sided lower back pain that had been translating to my cycling, horseback riding, and even ability to stand comfortably in the shower. Dr. Gelber really listened to me and my issues, was kind and compassionate, and was able to work within my schedule. Soon afterward, I was able to more easily lift my head and shoulder check while cycling than I had in years. The pain in my low back disappeared and the strength in my left leg, when horseback riding, returned. The clinic is clean, quiet, with lovely light, and Grace, at the front desk, is wonderful! Couldn't be happier! Less

Dr.Gelber is very thorough with his treatments using a PROPER chiropractic table vs a massage table. I have made great progress under his care. As a Ortho/Trauma RN / Clinical Aromatherapy Practitioner, Certified Lymphoedema Therapist, I “highly” recommend Dr. Josh ! He has a few decades of experience behind him. He provides gentle, yet firm effective treatments. I had a very stiff thoracic and sacrum which Dr. Josh was able to treat and I feel so much better.Thank you Dr.Josh for your brilliant care! Less

Dr. Josh Gelber has been, in some cases, more committed to my health than me. Dr. Josh is a true believer in his profession but not because he read about it in a book. He is helping people live a healthier, better, more fulfilling life... without the use of drugs! And all he has to do is show up to work. 7 years ago Dr. Josh was able to treat my sciatic! I know people who are living with this pain for years now because they refuse chiropractic care. My sciatic came and was gone in less than 6 MONTHS! It would hurt to sit for to long, there was no such thing as a comfortable chair! I could not find a comfortable position to sleep. I would sleep in 2- 3 hour increments. I could not even wait standing up because sooner or later I was going to shift my weight from one leg to the other and when I rested on my leg with the sciatic, before long, I would loose feeling in my foot. That sensation would make its way up my leg past my knee to my thigh if I did not shift my weight or start walking soon. I cannot thank Dr. Josh enough for his chiropractic clinic and his devotion to his clientele whom are becoming his friends. Thank you Dr Josh for giving me my life back! I am going to ride my bicycle with my kids now. Less

This clinic has changed my body and health drastically. Dr Gelber is thorough, spends time to educate his patients, sends you for testing and does intermittent progress testing to ensure the treatment is working. As someone who has let many injuries, concussions and pain be brushed off and ignored, these adjustment have made noticeable improvements in not only my movement and pain levels but my mood, mental clarity and anxiety are noticeably different. I cannot recommend more!!! Less

I’ve had a really bad, at times, and annoying pain on my hip area for two years. It’s been affecting my sleep and my daily life. I had to stop jogging because the pain would increase afterwards. I opted to keep playing soccer, because it’s my favourite sport and decided to just deal with the pain. But it became a drag and I was not enjoying it anymore. I also play the bass guitar and this nagging pain would surface after shows as well. This pain was really making me feel defeated and frustrated. This past weekend I had a show on Saturday and I played a game of soccer on Sunday morning and felt no pain st all. Like, nothing. I can’t believe that in just two weeks of starting my chiropractic treatment with Dr. Gelber I am experiencing these life changing results. I am waking up happier because I don’t feel this particular pain any longer. I can now look forward to all my favourite activities! If you are reading this and feel undecided, please know that choosing to do this treatment was an excellent move on my part. I can assure that it will change your life for the better. Dr. Gelber and Grace will take care of you. They also choose great music to listen to while they work. Less

I swayed while walking like a drunken sailor, with pain in my hips and all down my right leg. I believed I had one leg shorter than the other. My neck was also stretched out of alignment. Dr. Gelber put me on his double scales and found I weighed heavier on my right by eleven pounds. He also found that my leg wasn't shorter. I have some kind of hip displacement. I now walk like a normal human being, my hips are much, much less painful, my neck is back in place and my energy has increased by leaps and bounds. Less

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding care and expertise provided by Dr. Gelber at Annex Family Chiropractic. As someone who has suffered from sciatica caused by a herniated disc and scoliosis, I have found incredible relief and improvement under his care. Dr. Gelber is not only a highly skilled chiropractor but also an honest and reliable professional, who truly understands the vital connection between spinal health, the nervous system, and our overall well-being. From the moment I stepped into Annex Family Chiropractic, I felt welcomed and valued as a patient. The staff is friendly, efficient, and always willing to accommodate my scheduling needs. Dr. Gelber himself is an exceptional chiropractor who goes above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcomes for his patients. What sets Dr. Gelber apart is his deep understanding of the intricate relationship between the spine, nervous system, and our overall health. He takes the time to thoroughly assess my condition, listening attentively to my concerns and taking into account my unique circumstances. His approach is comprehensive, incorporating the latest research and techniques to tailor a treatment plan specific to my needs. Under Dr. Gelber's care, I have experienced significant improvement in my sciatica symptoms. His gentle adjustments, combined with targeted exercises and lifestyle recommendations, have helped alleviate my pain and improve my mobility. I appreciate how he educates me about my condition, providing valuable insights into how I can actively participate in my own healing process. Beyond his technical expertise, Dr. Gelber possesses exceptional communication skills. He explains complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand, ensuring that I am well-informed and empowered to make informed decisions about my health. This level of patient-centered care fosters trust and confidence, knowing that I am in capable hands.

I am 47 years old and have had nagging lower back /hip pain my entire adult life, worsening over the last decade or so. I tried a couple of different chiropractors over the last few years, but they were not effective. They did not perform an initial in depth assessment, and therefore their treatment was only skin deep. Conversely, being able to see the actual curvature of my spine and pinpoint the problematic areas was a eye opening way to start my therapy with Dr Gelber. I have been a patient for a few months now and I can say that my back pain has disappeared, and my daily life routine is so much more enjoyable. I used to have issues with back pain while driving, sitting at a desk for periods of time, but not anymore! I would recommend Dr Gelber to anyone who wants to deal with their back pain once and for all. This is a thorough and precise process that has improved the overall enjoyment of my daily life. 10/10 Less

I started seeing Dr. Gelber June 2022 for some adjustments - one specifically: my lower back. I had an injury a couple of decades ago and always had a 'clicking' (although not painful) feeling near my tailbone area. Since my sessions, the clicking has stopped 95% of the time. My other area was my neck, with arthritis setting in and not having a great range of motion. I can now turn my head much further (in both directions) than I have ever been able to in the past 30 years. Recently, while visiting family in another province, some one remarked that they thought I had gotten taller. Maybe I'm onto something here!! Dr. Gelber's treatments have helped me immensely over the past year! Less

I was referred to Dr. Gelber when I relocated to Toronto. He's a terrific chiropractor, with a genuine skill to get you set right, and also to ensure you have a great lifestyle. He noticed how I was looking at my phone while waiting for the appointment, then suggested more appropriate posture for that. He also asked me to send photos of my desk setup to check that it's correct. So in addition to the treatments (which are great), he's really interested in the whole. Plus, he has a charming office, which is really well set up for quick treatments, which is really efficiently run. I've never waited more than 5 minutes max for my appointment, so it's a well run office. I can't say enough good things about him or the way he and Grace run the office. I highly recommend him, thank you for the service! Less

tldr: Five stars, terrific chiropractor Dr. Gelber has been seeing me for two months and I could not be more pleased with the treatment. I chose Dr. Gelber after reviewing many other downtown chiropractors, and I am very happy that I did. Background: I had been dealing with some long-standing upper back and neck issues that had left me with frequent shoulder and arm pain for the better part of a year, on the point of nearly being incapacitating. After an examination and x-rays, Dr. Gelber suggested a course of treatment which included examinations and treatment as necessary. One specific requirement for me with a new chiropractor, obviously, was to be responsive and the ability to make adjustments. Dr. Gelber has *great* hands. After several weeks of treatment I was able to sling my backpack over my shoulders, which had become difficult and some days impossible before I started working with Dr. Gelber. He also also provided instruction on how to work on myself at home. I look forward to being able to take up hiking again in the future. I am continuing to see Dr. Gelber to focus on improving the health of my spine. His office is very pleasant and welcoming. The only regret I have, and I'm sure I'm not alone here, is that I didn't seek out Dr. Gelber earlier. But I am very glad that I chose him. Less

I started seeing Dr. Gelber a few months ago for chronic pain and discomfort in my neck, shoulders and low back. The care that I have received has been wonderful and it's been great to notice the improvements in my posture, sleep and overall well-being. I also conceived shortly after starting the adjustments and I've really appreciated the attention to detail and accommodations during this transitional time. By far, the best chiropractic care I've ever received and I would recommend to anyone who is curious about giving it a try! Less

Working in the culinary world for over 10 years, my sciatic nerve started acting up as I spend so much time on my feet. I would get an intense pain from my lower back into my entire leg. Sometimes, I couldn't even sleep at night because of the pain. I knew that now was the time to start repairing this as I have yet to reach age 30 and didn't want this to impact my career further. I was targeted on my facebook page for an ad for a free consultation and adjustment, so I thought why not give it a shot. It was visiting Dr. Gelber which then opened my eyes to understand the impact of past trauma from an accident when I was young that contributed to this pain and caused subluxation. (Something I was not familiar with) I can happily say that I have been visiting once a week for about a year now and feel an amazing amount of relief in my lower back. I also can describe a connection that I have to my body like never before. I feel comfortable sharing when certain pain comes back and it has been wonderful learning to understand how my nervous system works and how to avoid experiencing the intense pain I once thought I would live with forever. I don't plan to stop adjustments, and when I began this journey people told me that I would "need" this for the rest of my life. It has become something I want, not need, as it allows me to live happier and healthier. Dr. Gelber said something to me that really stuck, we don't NEED to eat healthy, we don't NEED to workout, but when we want to, we simply live healthier and happier. And that to me, sums up my chiropractor treatment and why I will continue. Less

Bad posture and constant lower back pain were my driving factors to try chiropractic care. I was very hesitant at first about trying chiropractic care. My first introduction session gave me the trust and confidence to start this journey. I have been regularly visiting for a few months now. My sleep has improved and my constant dull lower back pain is gone. I plan to keep up the care and exercises just so that I can enjoy life better... Less

I started seeing Dr. Gelber over 5 years ago because of pain in my neck, back, and for migraines. I started with a program of frequent adjustments, but now only go in for maintenance and injury prevention. It was great to see my progress and results along the way with scans and x-rays. My pain and posture has significantly improved and I would highly recommend Dr. Gelber to anyone looking to give Chiropractic care a try. Less

After seeing Dr. Gelber for adjustments for 3 weeks, I have already noticed subtle but very positive changes. Sitting in a chair for the entire day has become easier, my body feels a lot less tense, and my overall mood has become better. Dr. Gelber is thorough yet efficient, and provides targeted adjustments unlike many chiropractors who provide the same routine adjustment every session. Highly recommend! Less

After a very physically challenging summer, due to the kind of work I do, I became very tight in my back and my arthritic knees were constantly aching. I knew I had to do something -- so I found Dr. Gelber's practise and discovered my body had shifted over 20lbs. to the right side and my posture was even more poorly-aligned than I had previously thought. During the intake process he asked me about my digestion and I said it hadn't been very good for years; that I'd seen several specialists over the years with little to no change. Digestion wasn't even on my radar when I decided to seek chiropractic help but, to my surprise, my digestion drastically improved in a matter of weeks and has stayed working better than it has in decades. That, in addition to the gradual re-aligning of my nervous system, improved posture, relief of back and knee pain, has allowed me to perform work and everyday tasks with more energy, stamina and confidence in my life. Less

After more than an year suffering with neck-pain due to work and visiting many places that clearly didn't care about my health, just my money, I finally found Dr Gelber and Grace. From the first day you can notice the attention to details and their care for your well-being. Dr Gelber was able to help me and in a matter of a couple of months not only the pain had reduced greatly but I also learned a lot and became more aware of my posture. I recommend Dr Gelber to everyone who wants to feel better. Less

I had some experience with another chiropractor, which wasn't as satisfactory as I had hoped, but my experience with Dr Gelber has been fantastic. I love the fact that a thorough assessment was done in the beginning of the treatment in order to see where I stand in terms of a healthy body and spine. X-rays were taken which showed where my posture deviates. I have had issues with my upper back and neck for more than 10 years and the regular treatments from Dr Gelber have helped in alleviating that pain, along with the exercises that he has recommended in strengthening my back and neck. Initially, I could clearly see that because of issues with my posture, my shoulders were not aligned. In a month's time, I can see my shoulders slowly getting aligned and pain in my back being somewhat alleviated in such a short time span. Dr Gelber is very friendly and knows each client personally, which is great to see. I'm continuing my chiropractic sessions with him and so far, highly recommend anyone who's looking for pain relief with a thorough assessment Less

I have been seeing dr. Gelber for 6 months now and I can wholeheartedly say he is a superhero. I have learnt about his practice from a Facebook add and I am glad Facebook targeted me this way. I was struggling with shoulder, neck and trapezius muscles pain since COVID started (hello, homemade office!) and pain and tingling down my left arm and hand, after a long surgery injured my medial and radial nerves. I have previously tried other chiropractors and physiotherapists, but the relief was only temporary. And, then, here comes dr. Gelber! The first thing he did was getting a very scientific and analytical view of my current situation (spine X-rays, electromyography, thermography and neuroPULSE scans). He then recommended a treatment plan that was personalized to my challenges and clearly described the path to get better. The best part though was my first adjustment. It only took 2 minutes and my pain was gone! Totally gone, no more pain and tingling down my arm, no more upper back and neck pain. This is real superhero stuff! Kidding aside, dr. Gelber’s bedside manners are impeccable, he always listens to your concerns, explains the science behind the treatment and makes you feel at ease. We have been working to address my spinal subluxations and to this day, the pain, tingling and tightness are at bay. If you have any of these challenges, please do yourself a favor and come see dr. Gelber. Less

Truly a stellar chiropractic office and doctor. This clinic takes a very wholistic approach to intake, observation, check-ins towards your success along the way, and the management of your spinal health is of highest concern. While you will be put on a 'program' (and I was always very resistant to them in the past) a friend referred me to this clinic having said they've seen them "work miracles" in the past and so I thought I would give it a try. I am forever grateful I did as within a couple weeks I saw incredible progress to pain that was originally debilitating and now three months after it feels completely managed and under my control. Less

I spoke to one of my colleagues about my back pain, and they recommended I go here. I’ve been receiving care for more than a year, and I’ve noticed huge improvements. I would experience extreme discomfort and pain from standing all day at work. Today I can work long hours, and I experience fewer back problems. I’m glad to have found this place that is both welcoming and has immensely helped with my spinal health. I recommend everyone to come here for treatment! Less

Struck with a mystery illness a couple of years ago, it's been a long slog for me health-wise. My inability to sleep led my doctor to prescribe sleeping pills. Further, since getting sick, I just don't have the energy I once had, and so found myself slouching further at work at the computer. I started feeling back and shoulder tightness. At my wit's end, I was on the lookout for a chiropractor to see if s/he could do something. I found this place on facebook of all places! Using a combination of x-rays, scans and expertise, my situation was explained to me clearly. I was not promised any miracles, just the possibility of progressive improvement. I was given instructions to come three times a week, which I did. I was told I needed to use a denneroll pillow to correct my thoracic issues, which I did. Within a couple of month, I felt my energy and mood increasing, my bowel movements have normalized (which is weird and TMI), my back and shoulder (and posture) have remarkably improved, I've been able to decrease the dosage for the sleeping pills (because I'm sleeping way better) to where I no longer need them, and other issues have diminished. I'm now on one appointment a week and feel so much better having gone here. And the doctor and staff are approachable, affable and easy to talk to. Less

The chiropractic care I receive from Dr. Josh has been wonderful. Gone are the headaches and frequent shoulder and neck pain! He helped me to see the link between the spine and the nervous system, and how they affect other parts of the body. Chiropractic care has become an important part of my healthcare routine, for both injury prevention and overall maintenance. Dr. Josh goes above and beyond, and I would recommend him to anyone. Less

I started going to the Annex Family Chiropractic about 7 months ago. I found Dr. Gelber's office through an online search and I am so glad I did. I started off with what I thought might be a pinched nerve. I had a hard time turning my heard from side to side. My shoulders were so tight and sore. I would constantly get headaches. I can now say I am headache free. I can turn my head with ease and my shoulder pain has lessened. It has made a huge difference. I highly recommend visiting Dr. Gelber. Less

I have been receiving treatment from Annex Family chiropractic for approx. 6 months. During this time, I've seen a marked improvement in the strength, flexibility and confidence in movement of my lower back and shoulders. I realize now that I had been modifying my movements to compensate for a potential lower back spasm. Actions like getting in and out of the car were, tentative and awkward. My lower back now feels much more "reliable". This freedom of movement has acted as a reminder to loosen tension in my walk and to be aware of my posture. Very satisfied with the treatment and staff. Less

Dr Gelber and Grace are both fantastic. I started my healing journey with them over a month ago when I received a voucher from an existing patient for an initial health assessment. My friend and her family have been going here for many years, and she raved about it. I just received my one-month treatment scan update, and can both see and feel the difference. My sleep is better, my headaches have been reduced, and my range of motion is improved. I am also a lot more mindful of my posture and this has made a difference. Dr Gelber is incredibly realistic and upfront about what you can expect, what is expected of you, and how the whole process works. It is an investment in your long-term health, but it's definitely worth it. If you are nervous at all about chiropractic care, give it a chance and come in with an open mind. Less

I have seen many chiropractors over the past 30 years, and I must say that this is by far my best experience. I have always had lower back problems, which initially started when I was involved in a major car accident 25 years ago. I am currently a full-time student, who spends most of my days sitting at a desk working on assignments or studying. This more or less aggregates my existent lower back issues. I have been seeing Dr. Gelber for 2 months now, and I have seen positive results thus far. Little things that I would have difficulty doing, such as common household chores, I can do with ease now. I would highly recommend chiropractic care for anyone suffering from lower back pain. But just to emphasize, in my position where I have been suffering from lower back pain for most of my life, I never expected any easy fix in one or two visits. It took a long-term commitment from me and Dr. Gelber over the next few months. Overall I have had a wonderful experience at Annex Family Chiropractic, and anyone interested in improving their overall health should give it a try. Less

I've been with Dr. Josh for almost 2 months now and I have experienced so much change and healing. The office is bright and cheery and a very nice place to go to, and both Dr. Josh and Grace are lovely. It's easier to just enumerate the improvements I've experience. My asthma is significantly reduced; my double vision due to dry eye is much improved. I used to not be able to read street signs until it was too late to make the turn, but now I can read things from quite a distance; my memory is improving; my shoulder pain and the permanent knot over my R rib are loosening up; my hips pain I experienced going from sitting to standing is almost gone and my knock knees are much straighter than before. It has helped me figure out what issues are nervous system and what issues are dietary, so I continue to explore ways of deepening the healing. But this work has helped me so much in so many ways. I highly recommend Annex Chiro. Less

Longtime patient, first time reviewer. Chiropractic care has been a part of my life for 30+ years. The pandemic paused chiro visits for 1½ years. Life went on during that time, I worked as usual if not more. I'm a chef, standing for long hours is part of the job. Over the past 2 months I have been telling myself, "Buy new kitchen clogs." Usually when my legs or feet are sore it means it's time for new shoes. 2 weeks ago I had my first "pandemic" appointment. What an impact it had! My first shift back at work I noticed my legs felt amazing, standing wasn't a strain in at all! No need for new shoes. I knew that chiro worked for me. However, because my care was regular I never noticed drastic changes, it was always about maintenance. A very pleasant surprise to feel this change! Theeeenks for keeping me able to keep keeping on😊 Less

I wont lie, when I came into Dr. Gelber's office my family didn't believe a chiropractor was the answer to my back pain. They had their poor experiences in the past so they had concerns. The first meeting with Josh, those preconceptions went away. Josh does an amazing job connecting with each and every patient he has and I really appreciate that. The progression I have felt is unreal and I have one Person to thank for that. And that is Dr. Josh Gelber! You and Grace have provided me with a very positive chiropractic experience that I would recommend to anyone. Less

I have seen Dr. Gelber for roughly 6-7 months now, and I could not ask for a better experience! Dr. Gelber and Grace (receptionist) have created a positive and welcoming environment that feels more like a community than a practice. They are both very friendly and caring, and I always appreciate that they prioritize me and all clients as people first. My body feels significantly better since I started chiropractic care with Dr. Gelber, and these improvements have transferred to other aspects of my life. I highly recommend Dr. Gelber! Less

Edit: I've now been seeing Dr. Gelber for 4 years and my migraines are, for the most part, completely gone. I've come off of all migraine medication with absolutely no issues! Dr. Gelber truly is an amazing chiropractor....a miracle worker if you ask me. I started getting adjustments in January for migraines that were not only affecting my brain, but would also affect me physically to the point where I would barely have the strength to even stand up or walk. I had tried numerous preventative medications and had been using rizatriptan regularly to help with the pain and even that didn't always help. Since seeing Dr. Gelber, I went from having migraines almost daily to maybe once or twice a month, and even then they aren't that bad. On days I've had migraines, Dr. Gelber's adjustments would literally melt the migraines away. By the time I left the office, the migraine would be gone. I've also had a lot of tension in my back for the last 7-8 years that's caused me discomfort. Since I started seeing Dr. Gelber, all the tension and pain I had been experiencing is practically gone. Dr. Gelber and Grace (his receptionist) are super kind and work hard to make sure every patient is tended to and that their individual needs are met! Look no further!!! I guarantee you this is the place you're looking for!! Less

Before seeing Dr. Gelber I had Chronic pain , headaches and migraines that I just accepted as part of life. I would take Tylenol 4 times a day, an antiinflammatory at times in addition to volatren to control the pain. I have been seeing Dr. Gelber for a number of months now and the change is amazing. I have taken Tyelnol once in the past month and nothing else. I never thought I could be free of this pain. I especially appreciate Dr. Gelber approach in that he provides you with objective findings in the form of scans , x-ray and posture. So you feel better but you can also appreciate your progress. Sadly, chiropractic care is not covered by OHIP but honestly I'm happy I have invested in myself and my health. Best money I've ever spent. If you need a Chiro - Gelbers your guy. Less

I started seeing Dr. Gelber due to the fact that the location of the clinic was super close to where I worked. What started as convenience turned into an incredible experience. A few adjustments in, I found myself feeling taller, having less soreness after physical activity, and even sleeping better. To top of all off, Grace who runs a really tight ship is the greatest staff member at any clinic/medical office I've ever gone to. I cannot say enough good things about Annex Family Chiropractic! Less

I started seeing Dr. Josh several months ago for perpetual tightness in my upper thoracic area from years of hunching as a student, and pain related to my epilepsy - and have experienced real relief! My back has noticeably more movement, I have less headaches, and my recovery from physical pain following a seizure is much shorter. Dr. Josh is a genuinely caring and intuitively brilliant person who I feel lucky to have on my side. Less

So I was not at all prepared to be under care like this... I first met Dr. Gelber 10 years ago - and was under his care for a few visits; I brought my kids for a few visits. But what I noticed back then is that I couldn't comfortably tolerate what seemed to be normal adjustments. My neck just felt tense when he tried to adjust me. Ultimately the neck pain and other problems I was having were not as much of a priority while raising all of my kids (they were 5, 8 9 and 13 yrs old at the time). Then, almost 10ish years later, I saw Dr. Gelber on Facebook and sent through a message. I was still having the same problems, and while I went in for a re-exam and a consultation, I was totally nervous about the adjustment hurting or making me tense. But the conversation was different this time, he really listened to my needs, we did more tests, x-rays, and told me how often I'd have to come (2x a week) - I wasn't feeling ready for that kind of commitment, but I knew I needed it. The first few adjustments didn't feel "the greatest" again... But I told him, and then he said he could adjust me much gentler, and he did! I wasn't perfect with my schedule at first, I'm super busy and was all over the place with commitments and stuff. But I started to see slow and steady changes. I always felt my neck was "wrong" or "off, and after a few months it started feeling right and normal again. My lower back issues and hip issues slowly disappeared, and now we're in our 2nd year of consistent care, and I can't wait for my adjustments. I don't feel like I'm addicted, but having less pain, and feeling more relaxed, I just really love the care. Dr. Gelber has listened, and tailored my care to work for me, and I can't thank him enough for how I get to feel now! Less

I'm a few months away from my year mark of starting treatment with Dr. Gelber. From the start, Dr. Gelber has been open and honest about his practice, and he is very attentive to his patients' needs and concerns. Not only have his adjustments helped alleviate some pain and tightness in my neck and back, but he has also helped me to become more aware of my daily habits to improve posture and overall health. On top of all of this, he has a warm and welcoming personality that will make weekly visits feel like you're popping in to say hi to a friend. Grace, the receptionist and office manager, is also extremely helpful, and the office is very accommodating to any scheduling issues that might arise. Less

Hello there, here is my story: I'm an international student in Canada and I had chronic back pain for about more than 10 years. Recently my back pain reached to the point where I couldn't sit for more then few minutes, the pain effected my sleep, no matter what position I was in, I couldn't feel ease. It really effected all aspects of my life and it was only getting worse. I was frustrated because no matter what I've tried in the past, nothing seem to ease with the pain. I've decided that I want my life back. Fortunately, I've met Dr. Joshua and I've told him my story. He carefully analyzed my spine + x-ray's and suggested a dedicated treatment plan. Putting numbers away (which are decent, btw), Dr. Joshua's personality and the way he handle things, gave me the confidence that he can help me. I can tell you now that after about 1.5-2 months of adjustments (3 x week) I feel a drastic improvement! I can sleep much better, I can sit for much longer and I feel much less pain! Less

Dr. Gelber is an exceptional chiropractor who has been instrumental in my path to healing from migraines and anxiety. His unwavering support and expert advice have been invaluable in addressing any pain I've encountered. Chiropractic care has significantly improved my alignment and posture, and I wholeheartedly advocate it for everyone. The warm and gracious reception from Grace and the clinic's staff at Annex Family Chiropractic make it a solid 10 out of 10 recommendation for anyone seeking care! Less

Dr Gelber , helped me realize that all chiropractics are not the same, some can be gentle and more effective then just a body slam. I find his approach to be longer lasting, healing and more effective. Joshua has helped me be more flexible and strong and we are working on healing things I thought I would just have forever such as an In-turned hip, IBS, and weakness from a rotatory cuff injury . I now have the confidence to start massage therapy training at age 40, dance and shovel snow and still be able to move the next day . Annex Family Chiropractics have improved my life and I have referred some of my own clients to him as well PS: Grace the receptionist and assistant , is very knowledgeable and personable, and efficient, I love the little weekly reminders via email Professional Statement from a Holistic Practice Brenda Robichaud Center for Divine Alignment Less

FOLLOW -UP TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: Latest MRI indicated that previous diagnosed cervical stenosis has increased. Dr Josh upon reviewing results adjusted my treatment plan accordingly. This has resulted in a dramatic decrease in neck pain, no more numbness and tingling in arms and hands. Best Chiropractor in Toronto. As a teenager and young adult I was involved very much in the martial arts, extreme sports and just misadventures without realizing at the time how much damage was being done to my body. About 10 years ago when I was 45 , I was diagnosed with chronic pain disorder and placed on a disability pension. I was given oxycodone for pain relief and tried many different modalities of both conventional and natural healthcare with minimal results overall. I started treatments with Dr. Gelber about 3 months ago and have experienced an amazing positive change in my overall health. Not only, for the first time in 10 years, my pain level has been quite low but also when I do have a pain flair up or re-injure myself It takes much less time to recover. Moreover, my overall outlook on life and my bodily systems are much more alive and I feel the healing of dis-ease leaving my body as well as dormant nerve endings being stimulated so that this state of homeostasis is being maintained on a permanent basis. I have also been weening off opiates for a more natural approach and the chiropractic treatments have been helping with the withdrawal symptoms. Dr. Gelber, is a true healer in every aspect and his approach to chiropractic care and over all healthy life style management for each individual patient is unique and extremely effective. Unlike most conventional medical personnel, Dr. Gelber believes that the patient plays a major role in his/her healing process and always discusses and shows you evidence of your healing progression from your initial visit and onward. His healing techniques do not just mask the issues or just treat the signs and symptoms of pain and discomfort but actually stimulate the nerves that in turn heal the cause of the pain as well as maintaining the body systems in top condition. His office is very modern and each patient has their own electronic card to sign in with and to bring up their file for Dr. Gelber to access quickly so the wait and treatment time is very short. I must also mention his assistant Grace who is very personable and keeps the office running efficiently. I would highly recommend Dr. Gelber for anyone who takes their healthcare seriously and no longer wants to live in pain or dis-ease. Less

I started with Dr. Gelber about 3 months ago for neck pain and for potential help with a chronic GI related illness. I would say that even in this short period of time that my neck and posture have significantly changed (for the better) and I am starting to notice an improvement in my symptoms in my GI illness. I have had less flare ups and even if they occur they are short lived. Furthermore, Dr. Gelber and Grace at the front desk are just lovely, friendly, and welcoming people. They work to make the clinic a comfortable environment and Dr. Gelber advocates for his patients to take an active interest in their health as a whole. He tries to keep patients as informed and educated on their health, not relying on "quick fixes" for long term problems, which is something I've have had a hard time finding with other health care professionals. Less

I have been seeing Dr. Joshua for the last two years and have seen/felt significant improvements in my neck and back pain. It turns out that my neck and lower back are severely out of place with a combination of mild scoliosis. I used to complain about lower back and neck pain issues, and ever since I have been Dr. Josh I have seen and felt dramatic changes. For someone who is physically active and does intense analytical work, it makes all the difference. Highly recommend him! Bonuses: fantastic location, super nice and accommodating office manager- Grace (she saves me all the time!), x-rays (you can see how you’re doing inside out), and newsletters for optimal health. 5+++ Less

Dr. Josh, and Grace at the front desk, have been so excellent from start to finish. I've been dealing with chronic shoulder pain for as long as I can remember and when I realized that with my wife being pregnant I would soon have to wear back packs and baby carriers, I decided it was time to get this looked at. For most of my life I've had to only wear one strap backs, using both straps causes immense dull achy pain. Also long walks would really do me in. Although I still have a long way to go, Dr. Josh got me to the point (after roughly 5 months) that I walked the 5k Scotia bank run with my wife and baby, and carried our baby in on my chest all the way down to the start line, the whole 5k, and then some ... pain free! Blew my mind. Thanks Dr. Josh!!! Less

Before I started seeing Dr. Gelber, I was in agonizing back pain resulting from an athletic injury. I was in so much discomfort, I was unable to carry my backpack, let along walk regularly. I saw Dr. Gelber for 8 months and he worked wonders for my back. After a short period of time I was already starting to see great results and able to resume regular daily activities without pain. I highly recommend Dr. Gelber! Less

Before I started seeing Dr. Joshua Gelber, I struggled with sciatica that required extensive stretching at least twice a week. I have a high stress job and would experience fatigue and feel the burn out coming on in a couple of months. I do not need to stretch anymore and do so only out of choice if I do. I also feel more emotionally balanced and am able to dig deeper during stressful times and avoid burn outs. Less

I have been a patient of Dr. Gelber about 11 months due to neck pains and severe headaches. It turns out to also improved my overall posture. My neck feels much better, I can turn my head easily and I have less headaches now. My colleague noticed the amazing changes on me and started to see Dr. Gelber as well. Dr. Gelber is very approachable and always willing to answer questions. I would highly recommend Annex Family Chiropractic to anyone seeking long term, permanent results and a more natural approach to their health. Less

Before I went to Dr Gleber for help with problem on my right shoulder, I was very skeptical about seeing a chiropractor, due to the reason of hearing too many horrid stories how one can get hurt instead of cure from a chiropractor! Based on the recommendation of my daughter who went there for a placement, I decided to take a chance since my shoulder is not getting any better after seeing a physiotherapist for a while. To my amazement, though nervous and doubtful at the beginning, with time and patience, I began to see improvement on my shoulder. What I have learned so far this time is sometimes we have to let go of our ego and vanity and to give in to new ideas and people a chance for their professional skills and capabilities. Thank you Dr Gelber for your patience and care............ Less

One needs to wonder how a man who claims to be a "doctor" yet has zero medical training has so many 5 star reviews. Does he bully those who speak the truth? YUP!!! He and his minion Jordana Deblome need to stop pretending to help real medical conditions and spewing lies!! She claims he helped her with a hart problem - a REAL problem that I have and that has no medical cure!!! Does he know some special secret that he my cardiologist does not? There is just no way. They might thin blocking me will stop me from speaking the TRUTH about this quackery, but I will speak it EVERYWHERE!!!!! The bottom line is, there is no way he can help cardiac conditions by being a glorified massager. Anyone who claims otherwise including JOrdana Deblome is a liar. Less

I would like to share with you my experience at Annex Family with the Dr Joshua Gelber. For more than ten years I had a big back pain. . I'm a carpenter and most part of the day i'm standing or bended. So my back it's constantly under pressionI . I visited a lots of doctors when i was living in Italy and every time the doctors told me that my back was too bad and that they could not do anything. Only a surgical operation would solve my problem. Then we moved to Canada and my sister-in-law suggested 'me to go to see Dr. Joshua, a Chiropratic. After a long talk with doctor Joshua (He was the only one Doctor who said that i can definitely help you )So I decided to try since no one had recommended me a chiropractor . My life has changed. after the first adjustment I had immediatly benefits. I could not believe it. Now it's almost 9 months that I see the doctor and i'm getting better day after day. Obviously it's not just the doctor's job that makes me feel good. But also the exercises prescribed by Joshua and various activities to maintain good health. You have to work hard to reach your goals and keep them. i wold like to Thank you also all the Team that is behind Him . specially Grace that she always so kind e professional. (sorry for my bad english i'm still learning so below i'm going to put the Italian version, maybe someone could understand better) Thank you Joshua Gelber! vorrei condividere con voi la mia esperienza al Annex Family. Da piu' di dieci anni ho un dolore all fondo schiena.Sono un falegname e la maggior parte dellla giornata la passo in piedi o curvato. e la mia schiena e' in costante sforzo.Ho fatto molte visite in Italia e ogni volta mi dievano che la mia schiena era messa male e che non potevano fare nulla . solo una operazione chirurgica avrebbe risolto il mio problema. Poi ci siamo trasferiti in Canada e mia cognata mi ha suggerito di andare a vedere dottore Joshua . dopo una lungha conversazione con dottore mi sono deciso di provare visto che nessuno mi aveva consigliato un chiropratico, La mia vita e' cambiata. subito dopo il primo aggistamento ho avuto benefici immedisati. non potevo crederci. ora sonocirca 9 mesi che vedo il dottore e miglioro girno dopo giorno. ovviamente non e' solo il vavoro del dottore che mi fa stare bene. ma anche gli esercizi prescritti da joshua e attivita' varie a manternere una buona salute Less

Like many, I arrived at the Spadina office with a healthy dose of skepticism. I am a young, healthy guy with no history of nagging injuries or chronic pain and didn't see how chiropractic could help me. But after being referred to the Annex clinic by a friend and within minutes of working with Dr. Gelber, it was clear how little I understood my body and how little I knew about the amazing work he does. He took the time to explain what he does and why he's passionate about this practice as well as allowing me to see my own x-rays (fascinating!) before making any commitments. I immediately felt knew I was in the hands of someone who was looking out for me. The results were initially quite surprising (I had no idea my pelvis was tilted), but as Dr Gelber explained them to me, they connected to certain recurring problems I'd be having (bladder control, fatigue, etc). He built a program tailored to my specific needs and within a few sessions I already started to feel a difference. I noticed I was standing a little bit taller, my shoulders drifted more comfortably down my back, and had a real physical openness I had not felt in some time. It was very liberating. As I learned these issues can run pretty deep and it hasn't also come so easy, but the Dr. Gelber really emphasizes patience and I can say that things have only improved in the three months since we started. Like all good things, the program requires time and trust, but I can speak to the results. Less

Dr. Joshua Gelber D.C. is a traditional chiropractor in the Annex of Toronto (Bloor/Spadina) and is the consummate alternative health care professional. While his primary focus is on stimulating the nervous system to function at its maximum potential, his ultimate goal is the overall good health of the patient. Not surprisingly, his treatments are highly effective! You will feel the difference right away. Anyone truly committed to good health would be wise to take the time to learn more about Dr. Gelber.

I accidentally met Dr. Gelber on a day when I was feeling at my lowest. Due to a life altering illness, I was left with an acute digestive problem along with a stressed out and painful body. Dr. Gelber worked with me to correct my body alignment. I now sleep better, my digestion system is much improved and I am now mostly pain free. I would highly recommend Dr. Gelber at the Annex Family Chiropractic Clinic. Thank you Dr. Josh! Less

I have been going to Dr Joshua for over 10 years. During the early stages, I suffered much discomfort in my back and hips. Today, I am reaping the benefits of having had a regular treatment schedule, and still attend for maintenance purposes. Dr Joshua cares about the health of all his patients. He takes time to listen to our concerns however insignificant they may seem, and has excellent staff. The atmosphere is always one of friendly interaction, but professional at the same time. I would definitely recommend Dr Joshua's services. Less
