Chiropractor in Vaughan – Woodbridge North

Chiropractic in Vaughan at Weston and Major Mackenzie

Come in. Our Vaughan clinic sits at 10395 Weston Road, Building A, on the corner of Major Mackenzie Drive, where Woodbridge gives way to Vellore Village and the newer streets running north. It is the nearest of our clinics to Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital and the one most people from Vellore, Sonoma Heights and Kleinburg reach first. Dr. Farah Ashhadi-Somehsaraei, our Doctor of Chiropractic, works here alongside physiotherapists, massage therapists and an acupuncturist, and the whole team shares one set of notes.

New to this treatment? How chiropractic care works, and when to see a chiropractor rather than a physiotherapist.

Hours are simple: 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 2pm on Saturday, with free parking outside Building A.

What walks through the door here

Chiropractic is a bigger part of this clinic than most: roughly one visit in eight is a chiropractic visit. Two groups make up most of it. Young families from the new subdivisions, where back and pelvic pain in pregnancy and after childbirth is a weekly conversation. And commuters on the 400 and 407 with the low back and neck problems that long drives produce. Dr. Ashhadi-Somehsaraei treats all of it, plus:

• Sudden low back pain after lifting, gardening or a move
• Neck stiffness and the headaches that come with it
• Sciatica and other nerve pain from the spine, once serious causes are excluded
• Mid-back and rib pain
• Whiplash and collision injuries, planned with our physiotherapists
• Hip and shoulder problems where joint mechanics are part of the picture
• Recurring stiffness that keeps coming back after a few good weeks

Gentle by default, firm when it helps

Treatment here is built around what the assessment shows, not a set routine. Some people need a quick, precise adjustment to a locked joint. Others, especially in pregnancy or later in life, do better with slower mobilisation and soft tissue work. Everyone gets something to do between visits, because that is where the result holds. You stay clothed, you agree to each technique before it is used, and if you would rather not be manipulated, say so; there is always another way in.

Your first appointment

Book forty-five minutes to an hour. Expect a proper conversation about how the problem started and what it stops you doing, then an examination of how your spine and the joints around it move, with strength and nerve tests where they matter. Dr. Ashhadi-Somehsaraei explains what she has found in plain words, sets out a plan with a realistic number of visits and usually begins treatment the same day. If your problem is better served by physiotherapy, massage or acupuncture, that referral happens in the corridor, not by letter.

Coverage

Chiropractic is not an OHIP service, but it is one of the most commonly covered items on extended health plans through work. We bill most major insurers directly. There is no HST on chiropractic. Collision injuries are funded through your auto insurance accident benefits; workplace injuries can be treated inside a WSIB program of care. Bring your claim number to the first visit.

Questions we hear in Vaughan

Which days is Dr. Ashhadi-Somehsaraei here? She also practises at our North York clinic, so chiropractic runs on her Vaughan days. Ask at booking and request her by name.

Where exactly is Building A? The plaza on the north-east corner of Weston Road and Major Mackenzie Drive. York Region Transit stops at the corner.

Can I have chiropractic while pregnant? Yes. Positioning and techniques are adapted to each stage, and back and pelvic pain in pregnancy is one of the most common reasons people book here.

Do I need an X-ray before I come? Rarely. The assessment tells us far more than an X-ray of most backs and necks. Imaging is arranged only if it would change the plan.

I need evenings. What are my options? Our Woodbridge South clinic, on Weston Road near Langstaff, has two chiropractors and is open until 7pm most weeknights and 8pm on Tuesdays.

Do I need a referral? No. Check whether your insurer wants a doctor’s note for reimbursement.
