Reviews
What our patients say
“Dr Gregory is amazing! Always feel amazing after seeing him. He has helped me over several years and never disappoints! Very easy to feel relaxed and comfortable. You should definitely consider making chiropractic care part of your life.”
“I have been seeing Dr. Gregory and Dr. Laura for about 3 years now, with visits approximately every 4 weeks to help maintain my health. Each visit is a great experience - I'm always met with a positive and welcoming atmosphere. I genuinely look forward to my appointments. If you are in the area and looking for a great chiropractor, I highly recommend Embrun Chiropractic Clinic.”
“Dr. Varty and Dr. Murray have been my chiropractors for 18+ years now, and I have to say they are some of the BEST in their field. They are both kind, gentle, excellent, top of the line chiropractors and I am not just saying that because I am their daughter! Both doctors posses healing hands and they will make you feel better in the first appointment! Amazing clinic, fantastic doctors, would recommend to everyone.”
“What an absolutely AMAZING experience! Receptionist was absolutely lovely and extremely inviting. Will definitely be signing up for the twelve week program, alignments had me feeling INCREDIBLE afterwards! Would absolutely recommend if you are in the Ottawa/Embrun area.”
“Great experience! Have been going to Dr.Varty all my life and he has helped me with so much!”
“I’ve been at this clinic for around six years now! and I have to say the doctors here do their job really well. They’re kind and the prices aren’t that unreasonable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who has injuries.”
New patient FAQs
What does the new patient special include?+
Your new patient special ($49) covers your initial consultation, a comprehensive exam, any X-rays we determine are needed, your report of findings, and — when clinically appropriate — your first adjustment. We review everything with you before any treatment begins.
What should I bring to my first visit?+
Bring your ID and insurance card (if you're using insurance), and wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Arrive a few minutes early to complete your intake paperwork — or fill it out ahead of time if we send it over.
How long is the first appointment?+
Plan for about 45–60 minutes so we have time for a complete consultation, exam, and — when appropriate — your first treatment the same day.
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?+
For most people, no. Adjustments are gentle and many patients feel relief right away. You may hear a soft "pop" as pressure releases from a joint — that's normal and not painful. We tailor every technique to your comfort and explain what we're doing first.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?+
No. Ontario is a direct-access state, so you can book with us without a referral from your physician. If your specific insurance plan requires one, we'll help you sort it out.
Is chiropractic care safe?+
Yes. Chiropractic is a widely recognized, conservative, drug-free approach for many musculoskeletal conditions. After your exam we'll flag anything outside our scope and refer you to the right provider when that's the better path.
Do you take insurance?+
We accept many major plans and also offer affordable self-pay options. Send us your insurance details and we'll verify your benefits before your visit — no surprises.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?+
Yes — chiropractic care is typically an eligible HSA/FSA expense. We accept HSA/FSA cards along with all major credit cards and cash.
How many visits will I need?+
It depends on your condition, how long it's been going on, and your goals. After your exam we recommend a specific, time-bound care plan and explain the reasoning — there's no open-ended commitment.
Can children and pregnant patients be seen?+
Yes. We offer gentle care for kids and expecting moms, with techniques always adapted to be safe and comfortable for every stage.
