As a Kelowna Chiropractor, Dr. Markus Thiel has been serving Kelowna and the Okanagan community since 2001. Dr. Thiel creates individualized treatment plans that are specific to the needs of each of our patients, working to isolate the source of their pain not only to heal their injuries, but also to prevent future injuries and pain from occurring.
Prior to becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Thiel practiced at Vancouver General Hospital Health Sciences Centre, the provincial trauma centre for British Columbia, as an attending Respiratory Therapist. His coverage included the ER, trauma units, and the various ICU’s including spinal, cardiac, burn, and neurological units.
As the head of Okanagan Laser Solutions, Dr. Markus Thiel provides a service that few other offices in the Okanagan offer. Low Intensity Laser Therapy has the ability to treat a variety of muscle and connective tissue injuries and degenerative conditions. This form of therapy is both painless and non-invasive, and it promotes healing with lasting pain relief.
What We Do
Our clinic offers the best form of care through using Bioflex’s Laser Therapy system. The Bioflex Low Intensity Laser Therapy system will speed up your recovery time and healing, reduce your pain, decrease inflammation, and improve your range of motion. Laser Therapy is a non-invasive form of treatment, so there is no discomfort or pain caused by the treatment. It also has the ability to reduce your need for medications and even surgery.
What to Expect Your First Visit
Your first visit to our office will involve an approximately 1 hour appointment. During this time a chiropractic assistant will first record a comprehensive health history. This is followed by performing a digital posture analysis and surface EMG (electromyography). A surface EMG analysis provides information on how your postural muscles are working in correlation with your spine. This can give an indication of any underlying problems. A digital postural exam is also performed.
Once all the information is gathered, Dr. Thiel will perform a thorough chiropractic evaluation. All information gathered during this time will be used by your Doctor of Chiropractic to accurately determine your course of care. We have full x-ray facilities if an X-ray is appropriate to complete your exam.
After your exam, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled for you to meet with Dr. Thiel where he will go over his findings with you and discuss the treatment plan he has created. He will give you some options and you will tell him what to do with respect to your future care.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office. We are here to serve you, and encourage you to ask any questions you may have. Your participation is vital and will help determine your results.
