At DR. THOMAS EDWIN ISAACS, chiropractic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Dr. Isaacs frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Overcoming a rib feeling like it's out of place to achieve a more positive outlook on their physical capabilities and future health and resume spending hours gardening and landscaping without pain the next day is a common success story at Dr. Thomas's practice. Personalized care makes a real difference.
- Getting back to strength training at the gym after struggling with that nerve pain down the back of my leg is a frequent aspiration for patients at Dr. Thomas's clinic. A dedicated care plan often leads to improved nerve function, leading to less tingling, numbness, or weakness and a return to a more active life.

Dr. Thomas works closely with patients to achieve outcomes such as a significant reduction in the severity and daily impact of TMJ symptoms, often utilizing targeted spinal adjustments and supportive therapies to restore proper function.
- Patients often share how poor posture from my desk job causing neck/back ache affected their ability to comfortably reading a good book for hours without neck or shoulder pain. With Dr. Thomas's help and a focus on feeling more balanced and secure on their feet, reducing the risk of falls, many are now enjoying life with improved function and less discomfort.

The education also involves extensive hands-on clinical internship experience. Graduates must pass demanding national and provincial board examinations to become licensed practitioners.
