In 2009, Markham Chiropractor, Dr. Kirsten Thomas established in balance with the goal of providing patients with the best in chiropractic care.

Our success can be attributed to our ongoing development in education and practical skillsets, offering you a wide array of inter-related treatment options.

Coupled with an undeniable passion for helping our patients, our aim is to deliver a best-in-class chiropractic experience!

the in balance difference…

1. COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
Comprehensive initial visits to identify the cause of your concern

We offer more than your typical chiropractic assessment…

We perform a very thorough functional assessment to determine how limitations in your posture, ranges of motion, individual joint motion, muscle weakness, muscle tension and altered mechanics can cause compensations in your body, leading to pain and other symptoms.

We ask that you schedule 45-60 minutes for your initial visit so that we can address every concern.

2. TREATMENT PROGRAM
Offering a wide-range of treatment options – Chiropractic, Acupuncture, ART, Custom Orthotics and much more

All treatments are 1 on 1 with your chiropractor, and run 15 to 30 minutes in length, to offer more treatment options than with just a quick adjustment.

Appointments may consist of the following:

  • chiropractic adjustments and mobilizations for the spine and extremities using manual or instrument-assisted therapies
  • soft tissue therapies such as Active Release Techniques (ART), cupping or Fascial Abrasion Technique (FAT)
  • exercise rehabilitation, nutrition and lifestyle counseling
  • functional integrated/medical acupuncture
  • modalities such as interferential current or laser
  • kinesiology taping
  • custom made orthotics
  • compression stockings
3. CORRECTIVE EXERCISES
Corrective exercises to improve underlying issues

We don’t just treat pain or symptoms; we work to address the root cause of your issues.

For the majority of patients, weak muscles are a common underlying cause of many complaints presented to a chiropractor’s office.

By prescribing the best exercises based on your assessment, there are usually fewer compensatory changes (increased muscular tension and joint dysfunction) in the surrounding areas leading to less pain and less reliance on continued therapy.

At in balance, everyone from infants to seniors receives a safe and specific corrective exercise program tailored to their needs.

4. REFERRAL NETWORK
We believe in a multi-faceted team approach

Many patients require more than one type of therapy and more than one type of health care professional to help them reach their goals. To act in the best interest of the patient, we often provide referrals to our network of qualified healthcare specialists to ensure that you receive the right care at the right time for your case.

Some of these referrals may include osteopathy, physiotherapy-including vestibular or pelvic floor physiotherapy, massage therapy, Chinese medicine, naturopathy, homeopathy, occupational therapy, social work, speech language or vision therapy.

5. COMPASSIONATE CARE
Our chiropractors take the time to listen and provide individualized care

Every patient is important to us, so you have our promise that we’ll go above and beyond in addressing all of your health and wellness goals.

To ensure you are confident that you have chosen the right clinic and practitioner for your needs, our chiropractors are more than happy to have a quick chat by phone or email regarding your concerns before you schedule your initial appointment.

If we are not the best practitioner to address your concerns, we are more than happy to refer you elsewhere inside our network of care providers to ensure you get the care you deserve.
