Meet Dr. Mary Kaiser-Cole, DC
Dr. Mary is a seasoned chiropractic physician with over 30 years of experience helping patients restore balance and vitality through a whole-body, holistic approach. She believes that true wellness comes from understanding the body as an interconnected system — addressing not just symptoms, but the root causes that affect movement, energy, and overall health.
She holds undergraduate degrees in Kinesiology and Biology and graduated cum laude from Southern California University of Health Sciences (formerly Los Angeles College of Chiropractic). Her passion for continual learning and patient education fuels her mission to inspire lasting wellness through healing and prevention.

In addition to working hands-on with patients in her clinic, she is expanding into virtual care, offering functional medicine and health-coaching services to support patients across the country.
Dr. Mary’s Story
Dr. Mary’s journey into chiropractic and functional medicine began from a deep curiosity about how the body heals — and why so many people continue to struggle despite conventional care.
Early in her career, she saw how structural imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and emotional stress often overlap — and realized that true wellness requires addressing all of these layers together.t.
Over the years, her approach has evolved into what Back In Balance Health Center represents today — a place where patients are seen, heard, and guided toward long-term healing using natural, evidence-based methods.
She continues to learn and integrate new approaches, blending the precision of chiropractic care with the depth of functional medicine and the energetic balance of NAET.
For Dr. Mary, helping patients regain their strength, confidence, and vitality isn’t just a profession — it’s a calling.

Cupping
Dr. Sophia Chang holds a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Pittsburg State University and earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Cleveland Chiropractic University in Kansas City.
Her experience as a student-athlete sparked her passion for chiropractic care — after a volleyball injury left her sidelined, it was her chiropractor who helped her return to the court pain-free. That transformation inspired her to dedicate her career to helping others find relief and restore their quality of life.
Over the course of her practice, Dr. Chang has cared for a wide range of patients — from infants to athletes — addressing concerns such as migraines, neck and back pain, sciatica, arthritis, and more. She is known for her strong, precise adjustments and her commitment to educating patients about posture, prevention, and lifelong wellness.
For Dr. Chang, the best part of her work is seeing patients regain the freedom and confidence that come with feeling truly balanced and pain-free.
