From my first appointment with Dr. Kang, I was impressed with his passion for helping his patients and his extensive knowledge regarding treatments for those suffering with scoliosis pain. For years I lived with a lot of pain becuase of my scoliosis, but after only a few sessions with Dr. Kang I felt more energy through the day and my pain level had significantly been reduced. The exercises are customized for each patient's needs, which is incredibly helpful and he takes the time to bring awareness to each individual about the way their curve is positioned and how to manage everyday activities in a way that improves daily life. I am extremely happy with the results I have seen so far on my posture, my pain reduction and my overall quality of life and iwhtout Dr. Kang's treatments I would still be suffering from pain everyday. I can't tahk you enough Dr. Kang for changing my life! Coming to see you was one of the best decisions I ever made!

...The surgeon at the Hospital in the western Canada told us that my daughter's scoliosis has rapidly progressed but she was not ready for surgery yet. When I asked about alternative treatments, he told me in front of my daughter that nothing can help. I can just waste my money on physiotherapy, chiropractic, or yoga but nothing will help. You could imagine how this affected my daughter mentally.
Another six months pass and on our next appointment, we are told that the scoliosis has progressed again, and she is almost near surgery, so we were offered a brace to help slow down the progression. I was devastated. What got us to Dr. Kang were three things: Whenever I asked something he gave us a straight forward answer. He definitely knew what he was talking about. When I asked him if I can talk to some of his patients, he passed my request to them and within the first 24 hours, four of them contacted me and answered all my questions. They all had good things to say about Dr. Kang. Lastly, the costs of everything combined were considerably less in Toronto compared to similar centers elsewhere.
While my daughter was receiving intensive treatment, I was sitting in the waiting room and talking to other parents. Most of them had similar stories and some were adult patients who also reported incredible improvements and pain relief. One of the memorable stories is from a woman who walked in one day for a treatment. She claimed she had slow progressing scoliosis since a young age. Every 6 months the surgeon will reinforce in her mind 'one day you will need surgery'. Sure enough, 20 years later, that day came and her operation was booked 6 months down the road. By that time she was in considerable pain. However, after her scolioisis care, her pain subsided and she felt straighter and stronger, and she cancelled her impending scoliosis surgery.
Thanks to Dr. Kang's treatment, my daughter does not need surgery any more. Her posture has improved and her scoliosis is stabilized. Yes, she still needs to do her prescribed home rehab and exercises, but she can go to the beach in her bikini.
Thank you so much for your work!

As a woman in my early forties, I was seeking treatment for my scoliosis as a defence against the forces of nature in aging. Within days of being treated by Dr. Kang, there was a noticeable improvement in my posture and a conscious awareness of my unique curves and how to carry myself as I went about my day. In exploring the Schroth Method, I learned valuable exercises that will carry me for the rest of my life in helping me continue to maintain a stronger and more positive approach to managing my condition. I want to Thank Dr. Kang for being a great teacher and bringing his expertise to Toronto.

When our now 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with Scoliosis, we were devastated. The orthopaedic surgeon recommended surgery. My husband and I asked if there was an alternative treatment and the answer was NO. In the summer of 2009 and 2010 we visited a Clear Institute in the US and we were very happy with her results. This year we were very happy to find Dr. Kang in Toronto. She has had Clear and Schroth treatments and has been able to continue the home treatment. Dr. Kang is very professional, honest, and listens to our daughter's goals in the sport of competitive figure skating and what she wants to achieve in the near future. Thank you Dr. Kang for helping her achieve her goals. If you or your child has been diagnosed with scoliosis, never "watch and wait", and if you are concerned with the option of surgery then visit Dr. Kang first.

Hi Dr. Kang,
I wanted to just let you know on the progress regarding our daughter. She was scheduled for surgery on January 2016 based on her October 2014 x-rays which showed that she had a 74 degree curvature. We went for our follow-up appointment earlier this week and her curvature has decreased to 60 degrees and now no longer will require surgery! I can't even begin to tell you how elated I am with the news. Thank you for all your help.

After three months of scoliosis care, my cardiologist discovered that my lung capacity has increased by 10%. The exercises I have been doing through Leaside Family Chiropractic and Scoliosis Center helped make that happen.

As a chiropractor of 20 years, you could imagine my surprise when I discovered that my then 11 year old daughter was developing a severe scoliosis that developed despite the fact that she was receiving regular spinal check ups and chiropractic treatments when necessary. After xrays, MRIs and 4 Orthopaedic consults, it was communicated to us that she would need surgery due to the aggressive nature of her curve and that surgery was really her only option since she was too severe for bracing to work. It wasn't a matter of if, it was a matter of when. I was devastated and felt helpless but I was determined to find other options for her before ultimately considering surgery. I immediately hit the internet to find someone that specialized in non-surgical treatment of scoliosis, particulary with the CLEAR Method and/or the Schroth Method. I found Dr. Kang who, I believe, is the only practitioner in Canada certified in both methods. Dr. Kang's expertise in the field of scoliosis is phenomenal. With his help, my daughter's curve has improved, so much that they are now NOT recommending surgery for her! The key to success is early intervention. My only regret is that I didn't find Dr. Kang earlier and that we started her treatment with 59 degree curve. It is currently at 45 degrees and steadily decreasing. I would recommend that anyone with scoliosis, at the least, be assessed by Dr. Kang prior to receiving surgery or any other conservative treatment.

Dr. Kang,
I want to thank you for all of the help and support you have given me in regards to my scoliosis. You have been the only person to offer me any real support or knowledge concerning my back, and I truly appreciate it......I often feel extremely helpless and frustrated with this situation, but you have made me feel hopeful and determined again. I am so very thankful for your help and advice and I am grateful to now have some knowledge of things that could help me. I look forward to returning for another session again soon! Sincere thanks.

I was constantly worried about my daughter's progressing scoliosis until I discovered Dr. Kang's Center. I can now stop worrying about my daughter's scoliosis and its possible detrimental health effects because she's in capable hands. The treatment has provided my fifteen year old daughter with visible postural and scoliotic improvement that no other practitioner could provide us with. My daughter's rapidly progressing scoliotic curve improved from 20 degrees to 9 degrees over the course of the care. The clinic is friendly and warm and the treatment is very effective, professional, unique and gives great results. We would like to thank Dr. Kang and his assistant Joscelyn for their effective and positive treatment as well as for their warmth and attention.

I am 14 year old girl and a Competitive Figure Skater. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 12. I have an "S" curve. I was told I needed to have a rod in my back from one hospital and another hospital told me to come back in a year. My parents found Clear Institute in the US and we have gone twice for treatments, but now Dr. Kang has started his practice here in Toronto, and he does Clear Method as well as the Schroth Method which is fun and easy to do. I get to be a teenager with no brace or rod to slow me down, no pain and the best part is I can still go Figure Skating and Compete!
