What You Can Expect at Thrive

Personalized Treatment Plans

No two bodies are the same, so no two plans are either. We assess, listen, and adjust your treatment as you progress, not a one-size-fits-all script.

One Team, Every Discipline

Chiropractic, massage, and counselling under one roof means your providers actually talk to each other, so your care stays connected instead of scattered across clinics.

A Space Built to Help You Relax

From the moment you walk in, Thrive is designed to lower your stress, not add to it — calm, welcoming, and unhurried.

Had my first appointment with Dr. Vandervalk today. I have to say that by far in my 20 years of seeing a chiropractor, he has been the best I have ever seen. He took the time to sit and chat with my about my health history, what I preferred for adjustment style, and did a full series of range of motion testing to see where I was "stuck". I was adjusted and feeling amazing in one appointment. And after one appointment, left with better range of motion than I walked in with. I am already a huge fan, and felt so comfortable within his clinic space. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new chiropractor who cares!

I cannot express enough how great my experiences are with Dr. Kyle. His calm cheerful demeanor and ability to listen and meet his clients needs are greatly appreciated. His skill with multiple techniques and talent to make minor and major adjustments is comforting. He always makes sure you feel comfortable and will continually look for feedback from you if something doesn't feel right. I have dealt with neck stiffness and pain for almost 15 years, in the last 3 years of seeing Dr. Kyle my pain and stiffness has been greatly reduced and my mobility has increased a lot. This I contribute 100% to Dr. Kyle Do not hesitate to make an appointment, you will not be disappointed.

Dr. Kyle is the best! He is caring, honest, and he makes sure you feel better than when you came in. He has a great sense of humor, great attitude and treats you like you are important. His technique has helped me when others couldn't. Thanks Dr. Kyle for all you do!

I’ve been going to Dr. Vandervalk on and off for a few years now and I’ve learnt that going to see him more regularly has made a big improvement and significantly positive effect on my Injury. You can really tell how much he cares about his patience’s well being when you are at the clinic. I can’t thank this man enough and always recommend chiropractic treatments and always send them to go see Kyle when I can!
