Listro Chiropractic & Massage Clinic has been part of the Yonge and Eglinton community since 1979.

Founded by Dr. Paul Listro, the clinic has always been built around a simple idea: take the time to find the cause, explain what is happening, and help patients take an active role in their health.

Today, Dr. Paul and Dr. Joe Listro continue that same family legacy with a modern approach to chiropractic care – combining hands-on treatment, patient education, home exercises, and practical strategies for long-term function.

Dr. Paul Listro, D.C.Dr. Paul Listro founded Listro Chiropractic & Massage in 1979 with a simple goal: find the cause of the
problem, not just treat the symptoms. Over 45 years later, that philosophy still drives every appointment.

Dr. Paul takes a natural approach to spinal care, focusing on the relationship between structure and function. He has treated thousands of patients in Midtown Toronto – many of whom have been coming to the clinic for decades and now bring their own children and grandchildren.

His approach combines hands-on chiropractic adjustments with patient education, home exercise guidance, and nutritional support.

Dr. Joe combines chiropractic adjustments with education, rehabilitative exercise, and practical strategies patients can use outside the clinic. His goal is to help people not only get out of pain, but understand what their body needs to function better long term.

He commonly works with patients dealing with neck pain, back pain, headaches, posture-related strain, sports injuries, and repetitive stress from work and everyday life.
