What patients say

Reviews from our patients.

I've had an excellent experience with Dr. Cole Maranger at Westside Chiropractic. He has played a huge role in helping me maintain the mobility and flexibility I need to stay active with soccer, strength training, and overall fitness. What really sets Cole apart is that he goes beyond the in-office treatment. He takes the time to personally send me customized stretches, mobility exercises, and workout recommendations that support my recovery and long-term progress. It's clear that he genuinely cares about helping his patients achieve their goals, not just providing temporary relief. Thanks to his expertise and personalized approach, I've been able to move better, recover faster, and continue doing the activities I love. I highly recommend Dr. Cole to anyone looking to improve mobility, performance, and overall physical well-being.

Drs. Cole and Emily Maranger took over from my retiring chiropractor, Dr. Pavit Kapoor, who I had for many years. Dr Kapoor was a hard act to follow but Dr. Cole has exceeded my expectations with his great knowledge, compassion, and results based techniques. I have only had one treatment from Dr. Emily but she seemed very similar and equally competent at giving compassionate care. I feel confident that they can keep this 70+ body moving well.

Dr. Emily is an awesome chiropractor! She listens intently to any concerns I have and she’s extremely knowledgeable about the best treatment options. She gives targeted adjustments that provide noticeable relief. Three weeks ago, I injured my right leg which resulted in a lot of pain, inflammation, and limited mobility. I’ve seen Dr. Emily twice a week since then and she has provided such excellent care (acupuncture, massage, exercises). She clearly explained my X-ray and ultrasound reports. My leg is almost fully healed. Westside is such a warm and friendly clinic and I look forward to each appointment with Dr. Emily.

Common questions

Before your first visit.

Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. Chiropractors are primary contact practitioners in Ontario, so you can book directly with us. Some extended health plans ask for a physician referral before they reimburse, so check with your insurer if you are not sure.
Is chiropractic care covered by OHIP?
OHIP has not covered routine chiropractic care since 2004, so visits are not covered by the provincial plan. Most employer extended health plans do include chiropractic and massage coverage. We direct-bill Telus Health, Green Shield Canada, Sunlife, and Medavie Blue Cross, so you usually only pay any balance your plan does not cover.
Were you hurt at work or in a car accident?
We are proud to be a WSIB-authorized chiropractic clinic, and we also care for motor vehicle accident (MVA) injuries. Give us a call and we will help you get started with the right paperwork and a plan.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Comfortable, loose clothing you can move in. Athletic wear is perfect. We will have you move through a range of positions during the assessment, so we want to see and feel how you move.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on what we find. At your first visit we will give you an honest estimate for your specific situation, and we tailor your plan as you progress. Some issues settle quickly, others take longer, and some benefit from occasional maintenance.
How much does a chiropractic visit cost in Burlington?
At Westside Chiropractic, an initial assessment and treatment is $115, a reassessment or new complaint is $75, a regular follow-up appointment is $60, and a combined adjustment and acupuncture session is $85. We direct-bill Telus Health, Green Shield Canada, Sunlife, and Medavie Blue Cross, so most patients with extended health benefits pay only what their plan does not cover.
How much does massage therapy cost?
Registered massage therapy with Jody Maxwell, RMT is $75 for 30 minutes, $100 for 45 minutes, and $120 for 60 minutes, plus HST. Massage receipts can be direct-billed through most extended health plans.
How do I book an appointment?
The easiest way is to book online anytime through Jane, search WestsideChiroBurlington, or download the Jane app. You can also call the office at (905) 637-0212 during clinic hours.
