Treating the root cause of your pain through movement-based chiropractic care.

A Movement Based Approach to Chiropractic Care
At KC Rehab, chiropractic care begins with a comprehensive movement and postural assessment, not an adjustment. Our chiropractors evaluate how your spine, joints, and surrounding soft tissues are functioning together before recommending a single technique. This means every adjustment, soft tissue release, or therapeutic exercise we prescribe is tied directly to what your body actually needs.
Our chiropractic team includes Dr. Fiona Chan, HBSc, DC, Dr. Nicholas Karavanas, H.BSc Kin, DC, and Dr. Erica Yan, BSc, DC, all licensed by the College of Chiropractors of Ontario. Their training spans spinal manipulation, Thompson Drop, motion palpation, medical acupuncture, and soft tissue therapy. Dr. Chan also holds a special interest in perinatal, postnatal, and pediatric chiropractic care, an area where Markham has very few qualified providers.

CONDITIONS WE TREAT

Our Markham chiropractors treat a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, from acute low back pain, neck pain, and whiplash to sciatica, herniated discs, headaches, postural dysfunction, and sports injuries. Every patient begins with a thorough movement and postural assessment, because the right chiropractic treatment depends on understanding the underlying cause, not just the surface symptom. Whether you woke up with a stiff neck, you have been managing chronic pain for years, you are recovering from a motor vehicle accident, or you simply want preventative care to support an active lifestyle, our team blends evidence based spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy, medical acupuncture, and personalized exercise prescription into a plan built around your goals and your timeline. If any of the conditions to the right match what you are dealing with, an initial assessment at KC Rehab is a smart place to start.

Frequent Asked Questions
Yes. Chiropractic care performed by a licensed chiropractor is one of the safest interventions for musculoskeletal pain, and serious adverse events are rare. Every chiropractor at KC Rehab is registered with the College of Chiropractors of Ontario and trained to screen for contraindications before any treatment. We adapt every adjustment to your specific condition, age, and comfort level.
It depends on your condition, how long you have had it, and your goals. Many patients feel meaningful relief within the first few visits, while longstanding or complex issues take longer and may benefit from a progressive plan. After your initial assessment, your chiropractor will provide a clear estimate and reassess regularly, so you are never signed up for more care than you need.
Most extended health benefit plans in Canada cover chiropractic care. KC Rehab direct bills to most major providers including Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Desjardins, and Blue Cross. We also accept WSIB claims and motor vehicle accident insurance. Bring your benefits card to your first visit and we will check coverage for you.
No. Chiropractors in Ontario are primary care practitioners, which means you can book directly without a referral from your family doctor. That said, some extended health plans require a referral for reimbursement, so it is worth checking your specific policy before your first visit.
A chiropractic adjustment usually feels like a quick, controlled release of pressure in the joint, often followed by an immediate sense of looseness or relief. The popping sound is harmless and comes from gas release in the joint, not from anything cracking. Most patients describe the sensation as satisfying rather than painful, and we always adapt the technique to your comfort level.
Yes. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe and commonly used to manage back pain, hip pain, sciatica, and pelvic discomfort that develop as the body changes. Dr. Erica Yan at KC Rehab has a special interest in perinatal and postnatal chiropractic care and uses pregnancy-safe techniques and tables designed to comfortably accommodate every trimester.
Yes. Pediatric chiropractic care is significantly gentler than adult adjustments and is commonly used to support healthy musculoskeletal development. Dr. Erica Yan offers pediatric chiropractic at KC Rehab, focusing on postural issues, growth-related complaints, and discomfort following common childhood injuries.
Chiropractors focus primarily on the spine, joints, and nervous system using adjustments and manual techniques, while physiotherapists focus on broader rehabilitation through exercise, manual therapy, and modalities. Both are licensed primary care practitioners, and many conditions benefit from seeing both. At KC Rehab, our chiropractors and physiotherapists work side by side under one roof so your treatment is coordinated.
