Dr. Matthew Serrick is my favourite chiropractor in the city. He tailors your appointment to your exact needs using a combination of therapies & treatments at his disposal. I noticed a significant improvement with my back & neck pain after my first visit! That hasn’t happened with any other clinic in the city. Dr. Serrick & his associates are simply excellent. Go, just go!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Matthew Serrick. I have been going to him for over a year. At first, I had a lot of back issues to work out but almost immediately I experienced drastic improvements. I go to him now just for maintenance as I work out regularly and find that his realignments keep me balanced. Back in Balance is an apt name for the practice.

I went in to see Dr. Matt Serrick because of sciatica problems, I could not even walk properly because of severe pain radiating from the lower back and down the front and back of the thigh. I walked in limping and walked out with no pain after just the first session. I saw him another two times and Matt worked miracles on me. He is very personable, doesn’t rush and answers all questions completely… plus he’s a really nice guy!
I would highly recommend him, I am very happy with the treatment I received.

I went to Matthew Serrick in pretty good condition. I just had one ongoing issue that needed to be resolved. After my adjustment my back was hurt. It was so painful that I had problems bending over and getting out of bed. I never have had back problems before and have had successful back adjustments previously from other chiros. When I talk to Dr. Serrick about this, he was dismissive, didn’t try to resolve the problem nor take responsibility. He’s more concerned about his practice rather than his patients. He made me feel like I was making a big deal about nothing and it was my fault for trying to bend over and pick something up even though the adjustment caused the problem.
I had to pay more money to my RMT to get it fixed, it’s been a week and half and it’s still not fully better, and I missed my games in the summer due to this. I ended up with more problems than I came in with. I don’t recommend him as a chiropractor and don’t think you should feel safe with him.

I visited Dr Serrick for the same reason you probably will — the amazing Unilocal posts. With all glowing reviews, I was absolutely confident he would resolve my «back issue». He didn’t. I put «back issue» in quotes, because after getting another opinion, they identified it as a muscle issue that ran much lower than the lower back. I now wonder — how did he not catch that? How did he not do a more thorough assessment, to discover it was in the Glutes, and not the lower back?
He is incredibly friendly, accommodating in terms of scheduling, and advanced with his online booking and reminder system. But his approach is relatively impersonal — he kept looking at his computer to remind himself of what exercise he should do next on me. Net net, I found zero improvement after approximately 5 weeks of treatment. He also spent the majority of each appointment on his computer while I had acupuncture done. Very little was actually him doing manual work or adjustments. He claims I needed 2 – 3 months to start witnessing improvement. After 2 massages and one treatment from an alternative doctor, I already feel better.
I’m sure he’s super effective with other patients, but I just didn’t get those results and feel obliged to share.

I twisted my neck and hurt my shoulder about two weeks ago. The neck pain has gone away however the shoulder pain still resides. It affects my daily activity and really bothers me. I went to see Dr. Serrick yesterday and his amazing skills work like wonder.
I had a very good night sleep and this morning the pain is gone! I will recommend him to everyone who is looking for a responsible, kind, and competent doctor.

Matthew listens first and treats later. That is something that I value a lot in a chiro.
I have been having a moderate work-​related pain on my shoulder for a few years. With just a handful of visits to Matthew, I’ve gotten much better.

I’m not sure if he really needs another 5 star review since he’s already crushing it.
Dr Serrick focuses on the problem areas and gets you back to where you need to be, which is why everyone on Unilocal as well as anyone I’ve referred to him have had good things to say… But I will add bonus cool points for being able to schedule online through his website (who uses phones nowadays anyways?).

A bunch of positive reviews don’t happen by accident. After months of tolerating pain my neck and upper back I took the plunge and booked an appointment with Dr. Serrick. It was my first ever chiropractic appointment and I didn’t really know what to expect but Dr. Serrick patiently walked me through the entire process. I was impressed at the time spent gathering a history of my problem so that his recommendations were tailored to my issues. Everything was very well explained and made sense.
I had some treatment and a couple of adjustments — again a first for me. Pressure is firm, positive, and well targeted to the painful areas. He recommended some exercises for me to do at home to help improve things, and suggested a followup program to help prevent recurrences of my problems. He’s very thorough and professional, yet calming and friendly — not always an easy balance to achieve.
Fees were very reasonable and online booking is very convenient. And to top it all off, evening appointments are available.

My back hasn’t given me any problems ever since I started getting regular adjustments from Dr. Serrick this year. I highly recommend this treatment given by Dr. Serrick to anyone who is looking for back and spine preventative care. 5 stars!

Dr. Serrick is an outstanding Chriopractor. He took time to understand my pain and within a few visits my pain was gone. I highly recommend Dr. Serrick as a Chiropractor.

I found Dr. Serrick through Unilocal and have been getting treatments for the past six months or so. I have found him to be the utmost professional, blending an approach that is as scientific as it is holistic. My goal was to become more flexible and correct my posture and he’s achieved both. Also had a fear of having my neck twisted to paralyzing effect (or so many friends warned me about chiropractors) but can say with Dr. Serrick, you are in good safe hands.
I strongly recommend Back In Balance. Great location too (Yonge & Wellesley).

I found Dr Serrick originally through Unilocal.It was the day before Christmas and I threw out my back. I have an Si joint that likes to come loose.
My former chiropractor was on a 2 week holiday but Dr Serrick picked up his own phone on a stat holiday and made time for me. I don’t know how bad things would have gotten had I not been able to see him.
Even though I had had success with my previous Chiro, Dr Serrick was more pleasant to visit, no waits, he has long appointments where you are the only one he is focusing on.
Dr Serrick is also very personable and remembers everything you tell him both on a personal and medical level. I could tell he really cared about his customer service when I noticed on our first meeting that he put information like the age of my new puppy in his notes.
We now have a monthly checkup (which is perfect because that is exactly what my insurance will cover) and I finally feel like my long term back issues are being looked after effectively.
I highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Dr. Serrick for almost a year now. I first started going to him because of pain in my arm, neck, shoulders (probably from sitting in front of a computer all day). My treatment includes him performing stretches on me to sort out my sore muscles and even massage with the «thumper» at the end of the session. I always feel better after my session and my pain has improved a lot since last year.
Dr.S is great to accommodate my busy work schedule with evening appointments and never makes me feel uncomfortable. I would (and have) recommend him to my friends!

Dr. Matt is a great holistic chiropractor. He is a very gentle adjuster. He is compassionate and listened to all of my concerns, and answered all of my questions. I have been to many chiropractors, and I highly recommend Dr. Matt!

Thank you Dr. Matt!
As I have moved around the province in the last 20 years, I have also been forced to try lots of new chiropractors. I am so happy to have found Back in Balance Chiropractic. Dr. Matt knows is stuff, his adjustments are confident, and I feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the appointment.
I really like his new office too — it is bright, clean, and comfortable.
If you hunting for your first Chiropractor or know exactly what you need in your next Chiropractor, I promise you won’t be disappointed with Dr. Matt.

I ended up at Dr. Matt’s clinic entirely because of Unilocal.
On the Saturday of a long-​weekend in the Spring, while pulling a shirt over my head, I felt something pop in my shoulder. The pain was excruciating and I promptly got back into bed with ice and ibuprofen.
The next day there was –no– improvement. It was a Sunday, and I was really new in town, so I turned to Unilocal.I started with the chiros with the best recommendations, and started calling, hoping at the very least that, it being a Sunday, they’d have an answering service in case of emergencies or a voice mail message referring people elsewhere. Nope.
I was getting desperate, and terrified of waiting until Tuesday to see someone, so I started at the top and decided this time, I’d leave a voice mail, hoping someone would check voice mail during long-​weekends and call people back.
Dr. Matt was the first place I called and this time, lo-​and-​behold, he answered! Turns out he’d stopped in to do some paperwork, and said «come on down.»
I saw him a number of times in the next few months because whatever I’d done to my shoulder was a doozy, and it was more than a month before I could turn my head properly. There was no real –pain– after about a week of treatments, just that my neck was too stiff to turn.
The man was, and is, a g/​dsend. I have had back problems ever since I got rear-​ended by someone too busy on his phone to see that the car in front of him had stopped, and when I visited home a few months after Dr. Matt took care of me and saw my regular chiro and acupuncturist, they both had compliments for his work. Both said they’d never seen my back in such good shape.
Highly, highly recommended!

I used Matthew’s services for my sore arm and he used his knowledge and experience he help me out with different treatments such as massage therapy, Acupuncture and shock waves.
He doesn’t care about the time of the session but he always care about me. I highly recommend him to any one needs Chiropractor services
