I had my first visit and completed my partial assessment. Dr Gelber is very detailed and explains each step thoroughly during the examination. The videos he provided before hand were very helpful. I look forward to completing my assessment and begin my treatment plan! Detailed, professional and thorough is what I need. I like to be fully immersed in treatments and understand with great detail on what to expect. Grace was extremely welcoming and accommodating by suggesting e transfers as a form of payment.Dr Gelber also treats children! Most parents asssume the children don’t require such treatment but it’s best to hear that from the specialist…go check him out! Evening and weekend appointments available.

I actually came into chiropractic care because of my mom. She had such great results with her treatments in Ottawa that it encouraged me to book a consultation for myself, not for anything specific but out of curiousity. After my X-rays, we found some spinal misalignments that likely explained a lot of what I’d been dealing with—feeling constantly stressed, upper-back tightness, and just generally being “high strung.”Since I live in Toronto, I was referred to a clinic closer to home. I was a bit hesitant about switching, but the transition felt really welcoming and comfortable, and I knew I was in the right place.Within the first month of regular treatments, I started to notice something different. I didn’t feel as tense or anxious as I had the year before. I’m in a demanding academic program, and last year I tried all kinds of supplements—L-theanine, ashwagandha, passionflower, etc—but nothing really helped calm my nervous system. I was stressed to the point I even developed IBS-type symptoms.This year, even though my schedule is still intense, I’ve been feeling much more relaxed and settled. The change felt gradual, but very real. I’m sleeping more deeply, my upper-back tension has improved, and I don’t feel as “on edge” all the time.I’m really grateful I decided to give chiropractic care a chance. If you’re curious about it or wondering if it could help you, my experience has been very positive, and it’s been a meaningful investment in my health!

I had really bad posture and a forward head (tech neck), and after getting chiropractic treatment, I’ve noticed a big improvement. My neck and posture feel much better than before.Of course, my posture still goes out of alignment sometimes, but now it’s much easier for me to correct it compared to before. I can really feel the difference.I’m very happy with the progress and would recommend here to anyone who struggles with posture or neck issues.

I’ve lived with an over-active nervous system for many years, which has often left me walking through life in a dysregulated state and as a result, I’ve dealt with persistent, long-term pain. I had tried chiropractic care in the past with mixed results, and typically only booked appointments when I was really “jammed up.”In the fall of 2025, I began a prescribed chiropractic care program with regular visits several times a week ( a very different approach for me) and within just a few weeks I noticed a huge shift in my energy and how my body felt. The tension in my body has been steadily lessening, and the nervous system regulation piece has been especially meaningful. It’s not just about how I feel after an appointment... it’s how I feel in what I like to call “the meantime in between time.”Since starting care, I’ve experienced:• improved sleep• more energy in my day-to-day life• greater capacity for things I used to struggle with, like cooking and taking longer walksThese changes have genuinely improved my quality of life.Most importantly, I have a renewed sense of hope and I’m starting to feel more like myself again. I’m very grateful for the care, guidance, and nervous-system-informed approach I’ve received here.Highly recommended.

After years of reliance on my right arm and shoulder for carrying heavy things, I began to notice a dull ache in my shoulder and some nerve pain beginning to travel down my arm. I decided to get x-rays and an evaluation from Annex Family Chiropractic in order to determine the cause and whether or not chiropractic adjustments would address the issue. As it turns out, the spinal adjustments did resolve the aches and pains in short order. Not only that, but other neurological benefits have begun to emerge from the treatment, which could be generally described as a greater sense of wellbeing and cognitive clarity as I approach other activities such as yoga and music. If you are thinking about chiropractic care, don’t hesitate to try this gentle and holistic approach. Thank you for your insight into the spine and it’s far-reaching effects on how we feel and how we function.

Highly recommend Dr. Gelber and his practice for anyone looking for gentle and thoughtful chiropractic care. I was very hesitant to start going, however the care and results have been fantastic! Big shout out to Office Manager Grace - absolutely lovely and super helpful!

I attended with some hesitation about trying yet one more intervention after a lengthy history of chronic pain. I’ve now been receiving regular treatment for almost a year and notice that areas of tightness that felt locked in previously are more agile. I can maintain better posture and return to it with more ease which has overall improved the chronic level of pain experienced. I’m happy with the results so far and continue to be impressed by the consistent professionalism and kindness shown by the staff at the clinic.

I was hospitalized for my back pain in 2018. The stiffness reached a point where I couldn't walk that well for days and pain was so severe I had to leave work and get to the ER. After that I tried physiotherapy which didn't address the issue of my bones not being in their proper place. Other chiropractors gave me very little treatment. The back pain returned so I sought help from Dr Josh. He was very thorough in his examination. Within a few short weeks I already have increased my range of walking on trails to about 90 minutes, and can sit with my back fully upright in a chair. When I walk now I feel my core engaged - something I've never experienced before. My mood has also improved by about 15-20% which is an added benefit. I've only just begun my treatments with him, and expect more progress in the future.

While I had to ask Dr. Gelber and Grace for the dates, I wanted to give some background on my recent results. I first met Dr. Gelber through my husband in 2011 - and while I tried to start care, other things in my life prevented me from being able to commit. I returned in 2012, 2013, and then for a slightly longer timeframe in 2016. Got some results, but life pulled me away.I made my way back earlier this year, and with more things aligned in my life, I recognized that my spine and body felt very MIS-aligned! We re-started adjustments right away, and now, after 5 months of consistently going to my appointments, there has been a significant improvement in my functionality. During my dance classes, I noticed that i have a greater range of joint motion in my hips, upper back, and neck. The chronic pain on right side of my neck and left hip has gone. My posture has improved in that the slight hump in my upper back and rounded shoulders is visibly reduced. I feel and look like a younger person.

I was initially drawn to Dr. Josh's unique approach: a gentle, low-force method that stimulates the nervous system, teaching the body to release stress so healing can begin. This holistic approach has been incredibly beneficial. Not only have my body aches drastically reduced, but being pain-free has given me a whole new opportunity to retrain and rediscover my body's potential. I truly didn't realize how much my body suffered until the pain was gone!Unlike most of my appointment-based visits, this clinic boasts the best office management, thanks to Grace. Their operation is optimal, effortless, and consistently on-time. I've seen everyone from toddlers to seniors come through, and the joy is contagious – it truly makes this place family friendly, it's a gem!

I found an advertisement for Dr.Gelber's chiropractic services. Best decision I ever made to give it a try . Both the receptionist Grace & Dr.Gelber are equally friendly & helpful . I had lost use of my left shoulder & was in so much pain it was hard to muster a smile. I've been going two months now & so much progress has been made, even with a pre-existing back injury. I had an emotional release after the second session. I felt more energetic after the third, overall I feel so much better than I had. So thankful for Dr.Gelber & all the help he's giving me in improving my health

Acudí con el Dr. Gelber ya que desde hace varios años he tenido dolores de espalda y en otras partes del cuerpo, por lo cual mis actividades diarias eran difíciles.Ahora mis dolores desaparecieron, mi postura mejoró, y puedo realizar mis actividades diarias (gym, trabajo o simplemente caminar) sin ningún dolor.Estoy muy agradecido con el Dr. Gelber por hacer que mis días sean más agradables y cómodos, también fue muy amable conmigo en todo momento, si no entendía algún término me lo explicaba a detalle. Al igual que la atención de Grace siempre ha sido muy amable.Sin duda recomiendo al Dr. Gelber.

Hola a todos,Anteriormente a mi primer visita con el Dr. Gelber ya había tenido un quiropráctico de cabecera que era muy bueno. Decidí pausar mis sesiones y cuando volví ya no encontré a mi doctor.Entonces decidí darle una oportunidad a otro quiropráctico y encontré al Dr. Gelber de manera muy orgánica, simplemente busque quiropráctico cerca de mi en google. jajajaPara mi sorpresa, Dr. Gelber hizo su evaluación debida para saber mi situación y que necesitaba, me explico con detalle los puntos de estrés en mi espina dorsal y las posibles causas, siendo muy particular en atender a los pequeños detalles y posibles cambios que ocasionan desbalance en nuestro sistema psicomotriz. Al principio, estaba un poco escéptico porque los ajustes eran mínimos, pero al cabo de dos meses y en cada sesión los cambios se volvieron más notables, con cada pequeña torsión y/o presión de manera precisa sentía que el cambio era inmediato, deje de tener dolor muscular en mi espalda baja y cuello, deje de tener adormecimiento en mis muñecas y manos, comencé a dormir de mejor manera y lo mejor de todo es que ahora puedo desempeñar mis actividades diarias sin tanta tensión. Me agrada que después de cada sesión el Dr. Gelber me hace un pequeño recordatorio acerca de la importancia de tomarme un tiempo y respirar, y asi aliviar cualquier tipo de estrés y/o pensamiento que me este generando malestar.Me gustaría decir que lo super recomiendo. La manera en la que el Dr. Gelber trata a sus pacientes, la energía que transmite y el conocimiento son la base para un tratamiento muy efectivo y una gran experiencia como paciente.Hello everyone,Before my first visit with Dr. Gelber, I already had a primary chiropractor who was very good. For a moment, I decided to pause my sessions, and when I returned, I couldn't find my doctor.So, I decided to give another chiropractor a try and found Dr. Gelber quite organically. I simply Googled "chiropractor near me." LolTo my surprise, Dr. Gelber performed a thorough evaluation to understand my situation and what I needed. He explained in detail the stress points in my spine and the possible causes, paying close attention to the small details and possible changes that cause imbalances in our psychomotor system. At first, I was a little skeptical because the adjustments were minimal, but after two months and with each session, the changes became more noticeable. With each small twist and/or precise pressure, I felt an immediate change. I stopped having muscle pain in my lower back and neck, I stopped having numbness in my wrists and hands, I started sleeping better, and best of all, I can now carry out my daily activities without so much tension. I like that after each session, Dr. Gelber gives me a brief reminder about the importance of taking time and breathing, thus relieving any stress and/or thoughts that are causing me discomfort.I would like to say that I highly recommend him. The way Dr. Gelber treats his patients, the energy he transmits, and the knowledge he conveys are the foundation for a very effective treatment and a great patient experience.

From a quick google search and look through the clinic’s website, I felt confident Dr. Gelber was the right practitioner for me. As I’ve never had chiropractic treatment before, I was admittedly nervous but from our discovery call and into our first session I felt very comfortable and confident in continuing with chiropractic care.Within the past two years I’ve transitioned into a career in which I spend the majority of my working day in a chair. This obviously impacted my musculoskeletal health but at a rate that I felt wasn’t normal or sustainable. Since working with Dr. Gelber this year, I’ve not only benefited from regular adjustments but I’ve been able to implement more awareness to my body and have made some ergonomic upgrades to my work setup which has helped relieve some muscle tension and excessive bodily stress.Aside from that, the atmosphere at the clinic is fantastic. Grace and Dr. Gelber very clearly care for each individual that steps into their office. I recommend annex Family Chiropractic to EVERYONE. I even moved much further north in the city and still make the trip to see them! Its worth it :)

I've been receiving treatment from Dr. Gelber for a few months for my lower back pain which impacted my day to day activities and already the difference is astounding. I no longer get out of bed in pain and the adjustments I have been receiving have allowed me to continue doing all the activities I enjoy doing again. Couldn't recommend more!

After 6 months of struggling with scapular pain, loss of functional strength, and mobility, I was referred to Annex Family Chiropractic.Dr. Gelber thoroughly assessed my situation before beginning treatment. This upfront process made all the difference. It was not rushed. It provided greater context for my symptoms and gave an approach to proactively remedy them.Fast-Forward: I am now pain free. My shoulder mobility has greatly increased and my strength is continuing to return every week. It's made a dramatic improvement in my quality of life and physical well being.Dr. Gelber & Grace are wonderful human beings. Always warm and welcoming. Extremely grateful to have found them.

For several years I have been battling a series of painful back and hip issues. I had always tried to work through those periods of discomfort on my own, but they progressed to a point where I was losing mobility due to pain and it was affecting my ability to participate in my daily activities.Dr Gelber was able to identify and explain why I was in so much pain after performing a thorough assessment. He listened to my issues, concerns, and questions then created an action plan on how we would address my back issues in the near-term and long-term.It has been wonderful to gain back the freedom to do the things I like doing and knowing there is a plan to ensure I am pain free in perpetuity.

Coming here for Chiropractic adjustments has made such a positive change in my quality of life.2 months ago I couldn’t sit with my laptop for over 2 hours without my legs going numb. I also had really bad back pain when walking for a few hours so even going to the mall or exploring a new city on vacation was very uncomfortable. My retired neighbours and parents were capable of more and I physically felt much older than I actually am.3 days ago I was downtown Toronto for over 6 hours on my feet and felt no pain. I didn’t even realize how many hours I was on my feet until the next day and realized that because my body wasn’t in pain, I wasn’t restricted with my plans.I also find that my legs don’t go numb anymore when I’m sitting for 2+ hours working on my laptop. That was very inconvenient work-wise. Now I can be more productive and even just enjoy surfing the web or binge watching a show.In addition to all the adjustments I went for, I was also provided exercises and movement techniques that I could do everyday for just 5-10 mins. This also really helped with my range of movement and feeling a lot less stiff.I could finally keep up with people in my yoga classes who were nearly double my age, and didn’t feel embarrassed or frustrated anymore. My whole body felt more aligned, centred and balanced and I could actually enjoy the classes now.I didn’t realize how much tension my body was holding until my posture started improving and my occasional headaches went away.I’m so happy and relieved I made the decision to get Chiropratic adjustments because with it came an in depth consultation and analysis that provided me answers about so many issues my body had been facing. I realized i didn’t have to permanently live that way just because I had gotten used to dealing with the pain.Dr. Gelber is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and efficient. I’m just happy I get to live my live without restrictions and pain and he made that possible again.
