In Balance Family Chiropractic & Wellness Centre

I have been a patient at In Balance Family Chiropractic & Wellness Centre since 2008, and I have always received exceptional care from Dr. Charles and his team. When I first came in, I struggled with back pain, headaches, and a dislocated AC joint in my shoulder. The pain affected my daily life and made me feel frustrated and powerless.

However, Dr. Charles took the time to listen to my concerns, evaluate my condition, and develop a personalized treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. He provided me with chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and exercises that gradually helped alleviate my pain and improve my mobility.

After several weeks of care, I noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms. My back pain and headaches decreased, and my shoulder regained its strength. I also felt more relaxed and energized, which improved my overall quality of life.

I highly recommend In Balance Family Chiropractic & Wellness Centre to anyone experiencing pain or discomfort. Dr. Charles is knowledgeable, caring, and professional, and he genuinely wants to help his patients achieve optimal health and wellness. If you're on the fence about starting care here, I encourage you to take the first step and see for yourself how chiropractic care can make a difference in your life.

I first visited In Balance Family Chiropractic & Wellness Centre on April 17,2017 with left elbow and right heel pain. Both of these injuries resolved with just 4 visits. A year later I visited the clinic with lower back pain. In just one visit, Dr. Vantanajal was able to diagnose and treat the problem, and prescribe helpful exercises. My back pain has not returned since that visit.
I have also used this clinic (as recently as last week) for help with sports performance, particularly golf. Dr. Charles, as we like to call him, has provided excellent fitness routines for me which improve both my strength and flexibility. As an added bonus, he works closely with the golf professional that I take lessons from. It has proved to be a perfect match and I highly recommend the In Balance Family Chiropractic & Wellness Centre. Dr. Vantanajal is always respectful and professional, keeping the patient's best interests as his priority.

My wife talked me into going for a visit at Dr. Charles' clinic. I was experiencing bad, debilitating, back spasms. With a Mexico holiday coming up I realized something had to be done. After one visit he took care of the back problem. We also talked about a bad knee afflicted with arthritis for which I thought nothing could be done. After a second visit I'm elated to report that my knee pain is gone as well. None of this repair work was the result of bone cracking, painful, intervention. Dr. Charles has a gentle approach focusing on long term strengthening and healing exercises that you can do on your own. I've recommended him to a friend with bad arthritic knees that finds walking almost impossible. I can't wait to see what his experience will be. I do expect positive results for him too.

Charles is an amazing chiropractor who really gets into more than just the physical side but also the mental side. He is very thorough and having been to at least 7 different chiropractors i have no hesitation in saying he is head and shoulders above the rest. He is very knowledgeable and you will not be disappointed with what you gain from your visit with Charles.

I had the best treatment today ever! I tweeked my back cleaning my bathroom and I knew I needed an adjustment. Dr assessed me showed me how to do some simple exercises and stretches. He talked to me for atleast 30 minutes to get to know my history. He adjusted me, which was an amazing feeling of relief! Then, to top off the excellent treatment, this office has a water massage bed, which I went on for 15 minutes, which felt amazing! I am % satisfied and listening to this Dr's knowledge and explaining things in a way that you can actually understand.
Thank You!

Simply put, Dr. Charles Vantanajal has changed my life for the better. Beginning in 2015, at the age of 62, I suffered from severe leg neuropathy. I received some relief based on medication prescribed by my neurologist but it was not enough. I had problems walking and lacked overall strength in my legs. A family friend suggested Dr. Charles. It turned out to be the smartest decision I have ever made. In February 2016 I arrived at his office in a wheelchair and began seeing him on a bi-weekly basis. He focused on physio-related functional treatments. Within a few months I was capable of 15-minute walks and steadily increased the time, and in turn the strength and flexibility. My neurologist at the U of A Hospital was amazed at the progress I had come to make. Dr. Charles sincerely cares about his patients and their needs. He is a very personable individual. I have come to trust him enough to continue seeing him. I would highly recommend Dr. Charles to anyone in need of
chiropractic treatment. Marty A.

Simply the best and absolutely most thorough chriopractor I have ever met. I don't think I have met another chiropractor as helpful, patient and go out of their way to make you feel at ease and help with your pain. I wish I lived in this city so I can see him whenever I need some help. Thank you so much for taking care of me!

The Hydro Massage Table is AWESOME! After a 15 minute session, my muscles are relaxed, the stiffness is gone, and I'm ready to go again.
I get to stay fully dressed, enter my code, and voila - an instant massage that I control the intensity of.
A wise investment of both time and money for bi-weekly 15 minutes of massage bliss!

Changed my life!

Before finally finding Dr. Charles Vantanajal at In Balance, I struggled with finding relief through other offices and avenues.

In Balance helped me manage symptoms while waiting for surgery. Their expertise and treatment played an integral part to not just the relief of symptoms, but also provided the necessary information for my surgeons to correctly pinpoint the root cause and correct it.

After surgery, I wouldn’t trust anyone more than Dr. Charles to provide advise, guidance and post operative plans to get you up and moving. My recovery period was cut nearly in half with his direction and help.

Their modern approach to chiropractic and health services is a refreshing and innovative way to increase their standard of care and your way of life.

You’re not just a patient here, they treat you like family. Thanks Charles and Stephanie.

Dr. Charles Vantanajal is the real deal. He knows his stuff, and his knowledge base is evident through his impressive use of modern treatment methods.

Having tried many different providers, I can conclude without a doubt that this is simply THE BEST chiropractic treatment I have ever come across.

Some of the reasons for my positive experience are as follows:

* I left feeling like I got the value of 5 treatments in one. I did not feel rushed.
* Dr. V.is professional, compassionate, engaging, and I felt like he really went the extra mile.
* He used ActivRelease therapy as part of my treatment (assisted movement/stretching). Not every practitioner out there offers this.
* He surprised me with his use of new techniques which I have never seen or heard of before.
* He did not put on the typical sales pitch I’ve heard elsewhere. He actually encouraged me to only seek treatment when needed.
* He gave me a free session on the Hydromassage table - something I will definitely be doing again since it was very beneficial for me.
* He tailored everything just for me, instead of a standardized approach which is all too common elsewhere.
* Finally, he also gave me the manual adjustments (cracking) that I was looking for, but it was so much more effective the way he did it after performing all the other treatments first.

Dr. V is absolutely amazing! I went here after 4 almost 5 years of chronic hip pain that increasingly became worse as I graduated university and started working as an RN and mainly working 12s. I had gone to athletic trainers, GPs, physios and none of them could really explain what was wrong. One of my best friends parents recommended Dr. V to me a few months ago, and right away he knew what was happening with my body and that it wasn't an alignment issue, but a totally different thing all together. I have been working with him since and have made such great leaps. My hip pain has officially dissipated, and I feel great. He also has helped me strengthen my muscles that were causing my issues and I have never felt stronger. He is EXTREMELY knowledgable and wonderful to work with. He will push you, and because of that he gets results. Highly recommend seeing him!

I tried the hydromassage and loved it. No other place offers a massage where I don't have to take my cloths off and on. You lay on top of the plastic sheet and warm water washes back and forth across your body. You are perfectly dry. This took less time than a conventional massage. I entered the office told them I was there for the hydromassage and we set the time to 20 min and I just rested. I wish I had know about this way of getting a massage when I was working. I would have used it on my lunch hour. You control the speed, the pressure and even how much time you want to use.
