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!

I'm 8 months into my treatment for neck pain and feeling the benefits in my entire body. Dr. Josh is very thorough in his assessment and approach. His office hours accommodate many types of schedules. Payment plans are available.

When I came to Dr. Gelber, I was entering my 11th (and final) year of post-secondary education and was feeling the toll. I arrived with almost no mobility in my neck and in constant pain. After years of being told to see a chiropractor, I finally decided it was time to invest, and a friend recommended Dr. Gelber to me. I was impressed by his thorough assessment which included x-rays to accurately assess the condition of my spine, and his taking the time to discuss and provide me with his analysis. I have a wide array of musculoskeletal issues as well as historical injuries that he (patiently!) took account of so as to identify how all the symptoms and causes were affecting each other and how his treatment approach could address them. Within the first treatment, I was immediately experiencing enhanced sensation in various parts of my body that I had not even realised were being suppressed due to long-term subluxations. After just under a year, I once again have mobility in my neck again, no pain, and have even been able to take up more exercise again without experiencing severe back and neck pain as fallout.
Dr. Gelber was also very accommodating regarding my payment strategy. As a heavily debt-burdened student a year away from beginning a job and nearing the last tethers of my student loans, there was some question as to when I would be able to pay. Dr. Gelber was happy to present me with several payment plan options that we could adjust depending on what my financial situation turned out to be after a few months.
I am extremely grateful to Dr. Gelber - rather than one-off treatments that reduce symptoms temporarily but do not address root causes, Dr. Gelber's holistic and long-term treatment plan has done great things for my chronic issues and to improve my quality of life. Like my friends did, I too would recommend Dr. Gelber and his wonderful team to anyone who is seeking chiropractic care.

Dr Josh takes my back issues even more seriously than I do and has helped to ease my back pain so much in just 6 months. Everything is documented regularly so you can see the improvements for yourself.. I highly recommend him and his wonderful manager Grace to anyone who suffers from back pain.

I have been under Dr Josh's care for 8 years now and the concerns that I had initially come in for are near non existent. Dr Josh is an excellent chiropractor. He doesn't perform the same adjustments every visit but tailors the adjustment to what he sees as the issue of that day. He is also able to answer all my questions, if not on the spot, then the next time I see him. Over the past 8 years, he has also incorporated new progress testing technologies to stay up to date and provide the best care. I never understood why there weren't more people undergoing chiropractic care given my experience, but I found out that I've been fortunate that my chiropractor is a very good one! He also has excellent staff. Grace is amazing, she's very personable and professional. I have never had a negative experience in 8 years! The appointments are very brief and well worth it for the return. When I first walked into the clinic I couldn't stand, walk, or sit without pain. Now that's a thing of the past! I cannot stress enough how much chiropractic care has improved my quality of life. A big part of that is thanks to Dr Josh and his team!

Dr. Gelber is an amazing chiro. I love that my appointment are always fast and I can be in and out in under 15 mins. When I have questions or concerns he's always willing to answer them. Grace and the other staff working at his clinic are always friendly and happy to help. Would recommend him to anyone who is looking or even people who aren't because after being treated for a little under a year I truly believe that he's able to help anyone who wants a step up on their health.

Not very long after I started chiropractic adjustments with Dr. Gelber, I felt taller and more graceful; it was easier to walk with straight back and squared shoulders. Also more sure-footed. He is professional, respectful and a clear communicator. He obviously cares about his clients, staff and his practice. Beth Pelton, Toronto, ON

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 felxable 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 .

Biography

Ever since I can remember, helping people has always been my passion. Even today, I still get the greatest enjoyment in helping people in fulfilling their lives. I don’t create rocket scientists or olympic athletes, my aspirations are more modest. I simply help people overcome the physical pain that overwhelms their everyday lives and obstructs the path that prevents them being their best. This is why I chose to be a chiropractor. I saw that the physical pain and suffering that so many people silently endure, prevented them from enjoying a fuller life that most take for granted. My approach is different. In addition to alleviating the symptoms of your pain, I try hard to understand how this is affecting you and to learn about you as a person, and together, chart a course on the road to total wellness. I’ve learned through experience, that chiropractic is more than making adjustments – it’s creating a holistic approach that is individually crafted to your needs so that pain will not impede your journey to a richer and happier life.
