As a chiropractor in downtown Toronto, I strive to help people realize their God given potential - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Many people are just a few steps away from finding the balance they need in their lives. Because our services are so personal, we have an opportunity to guide them towards health and restoration not only through chiropractic but through education.
My experience in over 20 years as a chiropractor, both in Canada and the US, has taught me that those who take the responsibility to learn their role in their healing process are the ones most likely to succeed. Your participation in the healing process is vital for a successful outcome. Our purpose is to educate and empower people to discover the great potential they already have to live healthy lives as we restore balance to their bodies.

Services
We've been delivering quality Upper Cervical Chiropractic care in the Toronto and Mississauga areas since 2001. Our approach is simple. We believe that health is amongst our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they've lost their health, our commitment is two-fold. We're committed to teaching our patients that true health is a journey, not a destination.
We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience. Think of an adjustment as "tuning" a piano, adjusting each string so it produces the perfect tone.
Cranial Therapy is a technique that has been around for many years and the premise is to correct cranial problems that stemmed from head trauma. Dr. Rios uses this highly effective technique when the patient has not responded to the Atlas and spinal corrections. Patients who have experienced head trauma, even though it may be considered minor, can develop chronic pain, learning and or behavioral difficulties.
NUCCA is a little-known spinal procedure that precisely corrects the position of the top vertebra of the spine, the atlas. By correcting the tilt, shift or rotation of this vertebra, the body is able to overcome the effects of or completely eliminate many different conditions. The Atlas is a single, 2oz.
Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it's important that our relationship can go the distance. We've found that one of the best ways to have successful patient relationships is to explain everything in advance. Your first visit will take approximately 45 minutes.

I have been going to Dr. Rios since Nov. 2021. I wish I would have found hIm years earlier and I would definitely recommend him to anyone in pain or who just needs an adjustment. He is very pleasant and very patient and takes his time and you never feel rushed. The treatment plan is usually 4 to 5 weeks going twice a week. If you are better he will change you to go once a week which I would have been happy to just keep going twice because I felt so good after seeing him. Not only does he adjust you but he will also give you tools and exercises that will continue your healing so that your own body

Be careful! I made an appointment a month in advance. I was told I needed an xray which he charges $180 to review. Then 2 appts/week for 4 weeks. I live 3 hours out of town. I asked that we have the first appt same day as xray. The receptionist books it. I then suggest booking future appts. She says no you have to see Dr first. I see him he says no appt today because I am booked next week. I explained I drove 3 hrs and have an appt booked. His kind response “ thats not my problem. I am very busy.. do you want to get xray or not”
Not a kind caregiver- a rude Chiro who only cares about himself

Dr. Rios literally changed my life! I’m a very active person and a dancer. I’ve had hip pains and low back pains since I was 18/19 years old. I've seen so many chiropractors, acupuncturists, osteopath therapist over the years and have always given up as nothing had changed as they were unable to identify the root of my problems. Finally 10 years later I can wake up in the morning and not feel pain! If you saw my x-ray films, you would see how crooked my spine was starting from my neck! Which caused me stiffness and pain all over my body that no amount of regular stretching, yoga or strengthening

I used to suffer from back pain for more than 15 years. I was seen for many physicians and back specialists, I spent a lot of money in treatments like acupuncture, massages and physiotherapy always seeking for a relief of my suffering but never found a solution until I met Doctor Rios. From the first visit he relieve my back pain and since then my life changed completely. The pain never came back and I'm amazed with his work. He is very professional and always seeking for the best for his pacients.

Tl;dr: Dr. Rios is a master of his craft and treatment at his clinic truly changed my life. It troubles me that Chiropractic is often considered "phony" by so many. I can personally attest to its effectiveness, and I have met many others who were worse off than me, see their lives changed for the better as a result of chiropractic treatment. 5 stars without question. Dr. Rios defies the stereotypes in every possible way.
I have been a client at Rios Spinal Care since March 2016. When I first arrived at the office I was in rough shape. I had been having upper back and neck problems for years and

I had never been in interested in chiropractic care until I had a very serious setback with TMJ. My jaw was out of joint and my dentist was suggesting jaw surgery (yikes). On a friend's recommendation I looked up NUCCA, a type of chiropractic specialty focusing specifically on the top vertebrae of the spine. Dr Rios is one of the few practitioners in Toronto that specializes in this treatment, and I'm very happy to have found him. Within several visits I could feel a major change. This was after several months of not being able to chew food properly. Within 2 months of visits my jaw
