Services
Welcome to the new patient center for Body + Spine Chiropractic + Massage Wellness Clinic! We understand that arriving at a chiropractic office for the first time can be nerve racking. If you've never experienced chiropractic care before, you may not know what to expect when you come to our Toronto chiropractic office for the first time.
Upon entering our office, our receptionists Sally or Nikita will welcome you as a member of our family. Please go to the Forms tab on the website. Print, fill out and fax the Massage New Patient form before arriving if possible. Alternatively, you can come in 15 minutes early and fill out the form at the clinic.
Most chiropractors regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a persons care. If all that the chiropractor does is to reduce the pain and stop there, the chances of the condition recurring are much greater. In order to prevent a rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are gone.
Once your body has fully healed, maintenance chiropractic care every two to three weeks can help ensure that your physical problems do not return, and keep your body in optimal condition. Just like continuing an exercise program and eating well in order to sustain the benefits of exercise and proper diet, it is necessary to continue chiropractic care to ensure the health of your musculoskeletal system.

I had a confirm appt with Dr. Ali today, Sept 17, 2021 at 3.30pm. I received the confirmatory email yesterday. But when I reached today, Dr. Ali told me that my appt has been cancelled and someone had informed me either via email or a phone call. Total lie. He didn’t have any proof of that. Highly unprofessional on many fronts. Never had such an experience with a professional before 😕

I've been going to Dr. Ali since the beginning of the summer for DDD in my lower back. When I first started going I wasn't able to sleep at night and I had trouble sitting upright in a chair. He's been able to improve my lower back pain significantly with acupuncture. His treatment plan is really logical and i'm slowly but surely getting more mobility in my lower back with our weekly visits. Really professional service and Dr. Ali is lovely!
Since I had such a good experience with acupuncture, I decided to see Alfred, the RMT for the clinic. Honestly one of the best massages I've ever had! I left

I had a great experience with Alfred, one of the RMT's at Body & Spine. He managed to reduce my migraine pain almost entirely with his massage techniques in one appointment. Today I went in with severe shoulder pain and I came out able to move my neck and shoulders again. He really knows what techniques to use for body aches and pains and very much cares for his clients.

Dr. Ali is a genius with acupuncture. He has treated me for bursitis in my shoulder and another shoulder injury recently. I was in quite a lot of pain on Sunday and Monday. Tuesday I had an acupuncture treatment and followed his instructions regarding icing and by Friday I had 95% pain reduction and restoration of mobility. He is kind, professional and has a great sense of humour. HIghly recommended.

I was in the neighbourhood and decided to walk in to inquire about acupuncture for a sore back. Immediately the atmosphere of the clinic was warm and inviting much like a spa. Dr. Hirani explained about the acu and chiropractic services they offered and I was sold. You can tell she knew was she was talking about. I did an on the spot consultation and acu/chiro session and felt like a million bucks. My back has been aching for years I never sought any help for it till now. Dr. Hirani asks that you give it five sessions, but it only took me that one session to notice a huge difference. I never realized

What a wonderful experience. Dr. Hirani is a miracle worker! Personally, I’ve had many many massages and physiotherapy. Chiropractic treatment has been by far the best thing I’ve done for my body. At first, I was a bit skeptical, I wasn’t sure how the manipulation of the spine or nerves could help relieve pain. But, after my first consultation, Dr. Hirani (a wealth of knowledge) made me feel very comfortable. Now, I’m up to my 4th treatment and get excited to go back! Feeling good Body & Spine, oh and Sadi the receptionist is So nice! I’d recommend treatment to anyone.

Dr Hirani is amazing. I was 31 weeks pregnant and could barely walk because of a terrible sciatic pain. It’s very hard to find health care providers that are comfortable with pregnant women, post natal care and newborns! After 3-4 sessions the pain totally vanished and I’m now able to enjoy my last weeks as a mom to be!
I’m now 39 weeks pregnant and hitting the gym everyday. I’m seeing Dr Hirani every week and sometimes even twice a week for adjustments. I have no waddle no back pain and I sleep like a a baby.
I also never had acupuncture before and while I’m not scared of needles I

I started coming to Body & Spine in May (2018) due to a back injury I had in the Fall of 2017. I had terrible back/sciatic pain every single day. I tried to heal it on my own doing yoga/stretches, etc. but nothing worked. I was nervous to try a chiropractor, but after a little research I decided to give it a go.
Body & Spine had some great reviews so I decided to try it out!
The place is very inviting! I was very nervous going in but everyone there is very nice and accomidating. I’ve just finished my 9th visit with Dr. Hirani, and I have zero pain! I still can’t believe it. I haven’t felt

I have been going here for over ten years. Chiropractors Dr. A. Ali and Dr Hirani, massage therapist Alfred Fong are all amazing! They are true professionals, caring and knowledgeable. The staff are also extremely pleasant and they play nice music which helps you relax. I have been in two car accidents, both times suffering whiplash. I was grateful to Dr Ali for not only helping me get mobile again and for filling out forms for the insurance in a timely and professional way and I recovered my costs. He even arrange through the insurance company to get me home cleaning!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Dr Hirani! I began experiencing intense hip pain in my 5th month of pregnancy, and I saw her for a few chiro and acu sessions. By the end of the first… session I felt SO much better, and am now continuing to see her regularly as my pregnancy progresses. She’s been a huge help keeping me active and pain-free! Not to mention she’s so kind and professional. I highly recommend her!

This place came with a recommendation from my previous chiropractor Dr. Paul Kennedy. Although similar methods, but Dr. Hirani is very intuitive once she touches your body and understands your body well. She's patient and takes time to explain and answers your questions. Dr.Hirani also gives a good massage! Definitely worth trying this place out as even the receptionist and assistant Sally is so helpful and friendly. I like the fact they are on top of things too and very on time.

Body and spine chiropractic is amazing! Dr. Hirani is very compassionate, knowledgeable, and helps the well being of all her patients! She is an expert of how the spine works. There is also a student and senior discount :), although there is a flight of stairs the location is convenient by TTC and I would highly recommend booking your first appointment!

Saw Farah Hirani and felt like it was the best appointment I've had since pregnancy/birth of my twins. Have been coping with a lot of back pain and now don't know why I waited so long. She is so kind, supportive, knowledgable, and I feel better already. Chiro and acupuncture are going to be a regular part of my healing process and overall wellness.

My first visit today. Clinic is just tucked away by the Carrot Commons. Office is very nice, friendly staff, they have great foot massagers in the waiting room. Heather was my RMT, I've been to many massage therapists and she is one of the best, she really got into my problem spots and helped heal my aching back! I will def be back for more!
