I've been going to Dr. Killian for over a month, and right from the beginning, I was impressed with the thoroughness of the service. When I received my first consultation and assessment, Dr. Killian answered all of my questions and was able to give me a lot of valuable education in regards to spinal health and the long term impact of chiropractic treatment. One thing that is very different about his services is his 1.5 hour group talk. It gives so much extra value. Instead of just asking people for their money, he explains his process and gives a game plan, much like a personal trainer. He also offers free adjustments to anyone you refer, and I was happy to refer my friends and family to him. The treatment itself has made me feel "unstuck". I moved from an active job into a sedentary one, and it has taken a toll on my body, leaving me with bad upper and lower cross syndrome. My thoracic and lumbar feel so much better even after just a short time. My mobility is better and so is my sleep. Dr. Killian has done a lot of good for my boyfriend too! I highly recommend just sitting in on the 1.5 hr group talk just to see what he is all about. read more

When I was 16 I was T boned by a dunk driver both of us going 60 km per hour. I was mostly fine just shook up. I went to chiropractor a couple of times to make sure I was aligned right. After that I never really felt much pain until I was 20 years old and it would come and go. I thought it was just my genetics as my dad and grandpa have bad lower back problems. Then when I was 28 my lower back pain got progressively worse to the point that I could only sit for 30 minutes at a time or my back would be in so much pain and my leg would start to go numb. In March 2016 I met Dr Stu he took an X-ray, nerve test and body weight balance test. From there he created a game plan and started treatment immediately. My hips and pelvis where way off and Dr Stu believes it could have been from the car crash. It's now mid May and I feel like I'm healed. The beginning of May I went on vacation to Africa for a safari. In 14 days I had 4 nine hour flights, 8 one hour flights and 9 six hour safari rides in a very bumpy jeep. I survived this trip with no pain and I am so thankful. If I did this trip without Stu's help it would have been so painful and miserable for me. This kind of major trip is a bucket list trip for most people and I am so happy I have so many positive memories instead of painful ones. I would recommend Dr Stu to anyone! I have many more awesome things to say about Dr Stu but I won't ramble on here. If your not sure if you need his service just contact me for my honest opinion. read more

Advantage Chiropractic - Chiropractors Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My experience at Advantage chiropractic has been an absolute delight. Dr. Kilian makes me feel very comfortable and he is very knowledgable. He is always willing to answer any questions and I like how genuine he is. Suzanne, Dr. Kilian's receptionists is also one of the sweetest and most welcoming receptionists I have ever encountered! Upon beginning my adjustments, Dr. Kilian asked that I attend a seminar to get more informed about what chiropractic adjustments do and what having a well aligned spine does for your body. I actually found this seminar very helpful and enlightening. It's nice to actually be informed about what is happening every time I go for an adjustment and how going to a chiropractor will help me in the future. I had and still am having a very pleasant experience with Dr. Kilian's practice at advantage chiropractic. - Natalie P. read more

I am quite appalled with this chiropractor! Let me just say first that I have years and years of experience with multiple chiropractors. I was a competitive and professional dancer for 20 years, this is nowhere near my first time at a Chiropractor but unfortunately, it seems as though this chiropractor preys on newbies. He is what I would like to call the new strain of Chiropractor. Salesman first, patient care second. Unfortunately, this seems to be the way the clinics are heading. In my day you got patients by being a good doctor not by sales pitches. From the moment I met him, I knew what kind of chiropractor he was going to be. Like a used car salesman, but I looked past it because if he could give me diagnoses with a legitimate treatment plan I would have committed. The first appointment is literally a waste of money (Do not let them know you have insurance or they will charge you $200 or more, luckily I knew better and told them I did not have insurance so I paid $70 instead. ). Actually, I should file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. They claim the first appointment is a consultation. Well if I am paying for a consultation I better get some consulting. Instead, he takes X-rays and says "okay, your next appointment I am going to give you your results and we will talk about a treatment plan after you sit down for AN HOUR AND A HALF group presentation. What am I buying a time share? I get what he is doing. He gives you all this information about your spine and uses scare tactics so when you get your results your so worried about your spine that you'll cave to whatever ridiculous payment plan he suggests. Well I told them that I did not wish to go to the presentation, I told them I would just like the diagnoses and if his treatment plan sounds good I will stay with him. So they booked me an appointment. Well, boy did Mr. Chummys personality change real quick when I changed the game on him. He showed me my x-rays and asks ME what do they mean. Trying to prove if I had gone to the seminar I would know. He did this a couple times to belittle me. He then told me my problems were coming from a pinched nerve in my back. Proving my point of I don't need an hour and a half to understand diagnoses. If He has just told me that and given me a solution he would have my money in my hands right now. But he proceeded to be extremely condescending. He ended up dismissing me by saying maybe this isn't the clinic for you and I completely agreed. I do not have situations like this happen to me often. I was so taken aback by this, but to be honest I should have trusted my gut and never gone back. Please don't spend your money here. There are doctors out there that put patient care first. Don't be the next sucker on his list. 1 star for the nice receptionist. read more

I came to Advantage Chiropractic when my previous chiropractor retired, and I am extremely impressed by Stu. I've been to many chiropractors over the years, and he is the first who is dedicated to holistic patient care and preventive treatment. Most only treat the injuries, and I was actually a bit angry that my previous chiropractor of 20 years hadn't given me treatments and exercises to prevent the disc degeneration I can see on my X-rays. As a former research scientist, I appreciate the scientific journal articles posted in the waiting area on various advances in chiropractic medicine. I also appreciate the schedule of X-rays to track my progress, and the inclusion of exercises and stretches designed to strengthen my body so I don't always come in for the same old problem. I can't recall when my back felt as well as it does now. I highly recommend this clinic. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kilian for several years (off and on). Whenever I need a tune-up, he's the guy to see. Not only is he very knowledgeable, I appreciate his use of diagnostic tools (X-ray, MRI, etc) to make a complete and proper diagnosis. (Nothing worse that a professional trying to guess at a diagnosis.) Sabrina and Giz are great, and super friendly. The introductory seminar was extremely informative, despite the awkward timing of it. I learned a lot, especially about how the spine and its issues are connected to a host of other lifestyle elements - diet, stress, exercise, wellness, etc. Never had to wait for my appointment. All thumbs up! read more

Seminar is not convenient and I don't understand why it is necessary when all I needed was my body realigned. I'm not happy that I wasted $120. read more

One of the worst chiropractors I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. My neck is a mess and I should never have let him touch me. I didn't have any issues with my neck whatsoever, but now I do. Was told I'd need to spend approximately $10,000 to get any results. NOT. Went to a physiotherapist & am now seeing an accupuncturist to correct the damage done to my neck. I would highly recommend you ask him *before* you pay him how many treatments you will need to be "fixed." read more

Dr Stuart Killian is a very caring nice person who really take care of each and every patient he has. Aside from looking at his computer before the adjustment ,, he also do personally remember what you have told him from previous appointment. Serena, is easy to talk to and always has a smile when you walking ,, and that makes your visit more relax when you walk in and see someone that nice. I was never sure about any chiropractic work ,, I walked in with an open mind ,, and stuff shoulder for over 10 years ,, after 2 visit ,, my should is never stiff anymore ,, ( night and day , is the only way I can describe it ),, dr stu did wonders , and with great care ! read more

I met Dr Stuart and Serena at VegExpo vancouver and booked an appointment for my first ever chiropractic visit, after suffering for months with back pain and headaches. During my visit Dr Stu was extremely thorough in explaining my X-rays to me and helping me understand what was going on with my spine. I had my first adjustment which I was nervous for but it felt GREAT! The team there is extremely friendly and caring and truly want the best for their patients. I unfortunately live quite a ways away from their clinic, but Dr Stu was happy to recommend other chiropractors closer to me, because patient care is first to them! However I know if I ever find myself in their area I will definitely stop by for another visit! I have read reviews by others saying they felt like Dr Stu was just a salesmen and only looking for money and I truly did not feel pressured at all. Of course he wanted me to continue coming back, because he wants to help! I told them I wasn't sure if I could make it back due to distance and they were extemely understanding and helpful. read more

I have been going here for about a year now, and for my first ever chiropractor experience I was a bit skeptical going in about the value of chiro treatments. I went in for a free X-ray and info session about spine health (it took about 2 hours in the evening, so if you're impatient then maybe this isn't for you) but I can honestly say I am thoroughly impressed and delighted by the staff here! Dr Stu is wonderful and very considerate about your needs, and works with you, considering any pain you may be feeling and aiming for constant progress. Serena is the most wonderful person, she makes you feel so welcome and is always so thoughtful. Not to mention Gizmo is the most adorable little pup! I always feel like part of the family when I go here!! read more

This "Dr." is awful!!! He was pushy and very set in his pushy ways. Very clearly he is following a rehearsed script and is on a mission to SELL. I spent $150 for nothing. Then he would not send me my xrays after I said I did not want to sign up for his 1 year $4,000 program. He was rude to me and made me feel very uncomfortable. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere. read more

Dr.Stu is amazeballs! I've been going to chiro since I was 4 (his dad used to be my chiropractor 35 years ago). Dr. Stuart Kilian is carrying on the family legacy of passion directed at back health. Wouldn't go to anyone else in this city. Oh and I should mention he's super friendly too. read more

Being treated by Dr Stu has given me hope that I can heal from my back injury. I have suffered from lower back pain and sciatica for 7+ years, and have experienced a significant increase in pain that prevents me from walking for even short periods of time over the last 2 years. I have been told by top bc surgeon that surgery is my only option, and nothing else will help. I was not comfortable with the thought of major surgery and I was starting to believe that my injury would cause me the inability to walk based on it's effect on me at that time. That's when I found Dr Stu and his corrective care methods.  Although his clinic is 1 hour from where I live, I was willing to give it a try. It has only been a month of treatments, I have been experiencing more and more relief from the pain, and the ability to actually begin working out and doing yoga stretching without being in debilitating pain for days afterwards. I am beginning to see results I have never had prior to the treatments. Dr Stu is not only skilled, but he is patient and empathetic towards my issues, and encouraging that I can recover. To have a medical professional genuinely care and show passion for your personal recovery is refreshing and encouraging. read more

I came to Advantage chiropractic over a year ago and I was very glad I did. I always had to wear a back brace at work, and even at the golf course, which I wasn't pleased about. I found after just a few visits I felt some improvement and was able to leave the brace at home. I didn't even consider wearing the brace again. I now work without pain and I'm hitting the golf ball farther than I can believe thanks to Dr. Killian and Advantage Chiropractic. read more

Rather than being interested in the well-being of his patients, Dr. Stuart Kilian seems to be more interested in making money without much effort, I would not recommend this place. To begin with, I met the charismatic Dr. Stu at a street festival, May 2016. He had a booth there and was offering a free quick evaluation of people's spines. That should have warned me, but I had lots of lower back and neck pain, so I gave it a try. He used a gadget to determine I had imbalances in my spine convincing me to book a consultation including X-Rays for only $20. That sounded almost too good to be true, but since I never had X-Rays done and suffer from my lumbar vertebrae sprain a few years ago, I agreed to see Dr. Stu the following week. Turns out that the $20 became quickly $90 when the good doctor talked me into getting 4 X-rays (front view and side view) rather than just the 2 x-rays that were included in the session. Alarm bells already rang in my head, but since I needed the x-rays I swallowed the doubt and paid the price. When I asked him to email me the x-rays, Dr. Stu was only willing to send me 2 out of 4. I would have to pay an extra $70 for the 2 additional copies, which I found quite outrageous. Nonetheless I was ready to start my treatment during the first session, since my back was in a lot of pain. But that wasn't possible, because he would not treat me without having me first sit through a 1.5 hour group presentation the following day. This is something he does on a regular basis in order to convince as many people to subscribe to an expensive long-term treatment plan. In this group session, after harshly dismissing other medical treatments such as general practitioners or physiotherapy, Dr. Stu uses arguments resembling scare-tactics to get more clients. With terms like "vertebral subluxation" and "spinal degeneration" he shows worst case scenario x-rays of patients that suffered from accidents or extremely bad posture. He said that if people with spinal misalignment don't get treatment, they would suffer severe consequences in old age or sooner. His sales pitch worked on me, especially after he told me I was at Stage 3 out of Stage 5 of spinal degeneration. On top of that, he asks each person attending the session to write down the contact information of family/friends affected by spine-related problems to obtain them as clients. So I signed up for a 3-month plan that he said would cost close to $1900. Dr. Stu convinced me that he could help me with my back pains. I paid $500 for the first month up front and promptly received my first treatment. And now here is where it gets really interesting. I've had many sport related injuries in my life and had my fair share of physio, acupuncture, osteopathy and chiro treatments and each practitioner spent a sufficient amount of time with me in order to treat the roots of my problems. Not Dr. Stuart Kilian. He has a huge client turn-around, sweatshop-like. Every session I witnessed him treating 3-5 people waiting in line within minutes. He will spend 3 minutes per session with you, not more, not less. You lie down on 1 of the two treatment tables, wait until he's done with the other patient, tells you to breathe in deeply, cracks your back, your neck and you're pretty much done. One time I inflamed my knee cap after a workout, I mentioned this to Dr. Stu, he didn't even bother looking at it. He literally said that he's only interested in the x-rays that were taken, any immediate pain is irrelevant in the course of the long term treatment. I was extremely irritated by his approach, but because I prepaid for treatment, I continued to visit him 3 times a week for petty 3 minute sessions for a total of 4 weeks. At the same time I started seeing my old osteopath who returned from her vacation and she actually helped me with my problems and alleviated my pain, enabling me to go back to stretching and light workouts. Needless to say, the osteopath was shocked when I told her about Dr. Stuarts ways of doing business and advised me to proceed with extreme caution. Another thing that made me doubt Dr. Stu's narrow-minded approach: He promises you a session where he shows you a great deal of exercises that promote physical activity such as stretching and core training, but the session will take place only after one full month of treatment. Ready to be proactive, I asked him why I had to wait 1 month to receive this session and was patronized, he smiled at me and told me that I was a funny guy. He then handed me a print-out of a few exercises which seemed to be the extent of that informative session. During my weekly visits, suddenly his initial assessment of 3 months became 6 for no reason, even though I was on the way to recovery thanks to my osteopath. I decided to end my treatment after 4 weeks. I spoke to other Chiropractors who assured me this behavior is not representative of a practitioner caring about the well-being of their patients. read more
