Why choose in balance?

the in balance difference…

1. COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

We offer more than your typical chiropractic assessment so we can identify the root causes of your concern.

Your in balance Markham Chiropractor, Dr. Kirsten Thomas will 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. PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PROGRAMS

Our one-on-one treatments (15-30 minutes) offer a variety of options than with just a quick adjustment, including:

• 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 therapy
• kinesiology taping
• custom made orthotics
• compression stockings

3. CORRECTIVE EXERCISES

Your in balance Markham Chiropractor, Dr. Kirsten Thomas doesn’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 targeted corrective exercises based on your assessment, we reduce 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, programs are customized for all ages, from infants to seniors.

4. REFERRAL NETWORK

Our holistic approach includes referrals to trusted healthcare specialists when needed, as many patients require more than one type of therapy and more than one type of health care professional to help them reach their goals.

These referrals may include professionals in osteopathy, physiotherapy (including vestibular and pelvic floor), massage therapy, naturopathy, Chinese medicine, homeopathy, occupational therapy, social work, speech language or vision therapy.

5. COMPASSIONATE CARE

Every patient is important to us, so we will listen carefully and provide individualized care to meet your unique health and wellness goals. 

To ensure you are confident that you have chosen the right clinic and practitioner for your needs, your in balance 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.
