What patients say

Reviews from our patients.

Highly recommend Westside Chiro Clinic if you are looking for a new clinic in Burlington. Their receptionist is so warm and welcoming. The owners, Cole and Emily are incredibly kind, knowledgeable and overall create an atmosphere that is professional yet friendly. They offer flexible hours, which made scheduling really convenient. Have also have a RMT, Jody who is amazing and really works at getting your knots. I will be back for sure!

Honestly had the best experience at Westside. Very professional staff and wonderful atmosphere. Felt brand new and healed after one appointment, will definitely be back.

After going here for nearly 2 months I can confidently say that the experience is beyond 10/10.

Dr. Emily has taken the time to help me heal from pain caused by a previous injury, while addressing any other concerns I may have resulting from my daily life as a construction professional.

I'm very grateful for her knowledge and expertise and plan to continue my acupuncture and chiropractic care well into the future.

Rosanna, who works the front, also deserves high praise.
Her kind and welcoming smile, logistical expertise, and uplifting attitude contribute immensely to the overall experience you feel when you enter and leave the building.

I look forward to my appointments each week as I know I'm in good hands, with my best overall health in mind, because the people here are just the best kind of humans.

Thank you to the Westside Chiropractic Team for all your attention and care.

Dr. Emily simply get results, which is the best endorsement I can possibly give. I've been training for a marathon, which comes with all sorts of aches, pains & injuries. Dr. Emily has been pivotal in keeping my balky knee moving and my training progressing through a combination of adjustments and acupuncture. She doesn't just treat where the symptoms appear, but is able to diagnose the source and treat _that_, which prevents the injury from flaring up again in short order. Truly a game changer - cannot recommend her enough!

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.
