Biography
At the young age of 11, I suffered a very traumatic experience – I got E.coli poisoning and
suffered from severe acute abdominal pain. At the hospital, the doctor suspected appendicitis and
ran blood tests. Even though all tests came back negative, the doctor performed unnecessary
surgery. Long story short, my kidneys failed and I came close to losing my life.
This experience is one of the reasons I am driven to educate
people about the reality of our health care system. I believe it
is vital to empower others to make informed decisions
regarding their health.
A little background
I was blessed to be born into a chiropractic family. My father,
Dr. Gideon J. Kilian, has been in practise for almost 50 years
and is still practising in Aldergrove, B.C.
Upon completing high school, I attended Trinity Western University and in 1994 I graduated
from Parker University located in Dallas, Texas. When I returned home, I spent a year training
and learning the upper cervical technique at my father’s busy practice.
I am now thrilled to be living in and serving the Greater Vancouver area.
In my personal life, I am passionate about attaining and maintaining optimal health through the
principles of chiropractic. I am currently in my fifth year of training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I’m
proving to be in the best shape of my life. I am achieving excellence through applying
chiropractic principles in my life. This is what I want, not only for myself, but for all those I
serve.

Philosophy, Technique & Procedure
The primary goal at our clinic is to improve and maintain postural alignment of the spine
throughout a patient’s lifetime. Standard chiropractic methods focus on individual adjustments to
vertebrae, which have proven health benefits, but do NOT improve the patient’s posture. At
Advantage Chiropractic we use a highly advanced, scientific and proven technique that corrects
and restores spinal alignment. Therefore, we take chiropractic care to the next level by
normalizing posture that has been conclusively shown to deliver superior results in attaining
optimal health and healing!
Why is postural alignment so important?
• Posture, normal physiology and function are interrelated.
• Abnormal posture is evident in patients with chronic pain-related conditions such as
backache, headache and stress related illness, to name a few.
• Abnormal posture disturbs the nervous system function in the body, which in turn
adversely affects every physiological function from breathing to hormonal function and
will often result in generalized ill health.
The Beginning of Better Health
Using state-of-the-art digital x-ray analysis and surface electromyography computer software,
Dr. Stu takes a full spine x-ray of the patient which provides a comprehensive understanding of
the unique posture of each patient. Dr. Stu can then accurately determine what is required to
improve and manage each patient’s posture.
An example below shows normal alignment and posture for the side view of the neck. The
middle x-ray shows the alignment of a patient before treatment. The after result on the right
shows 90% of the patient’s posture was restored. (Individual results can and will vary depending
on the stage and pre-existing condition of the spine.)

Also below, is an example of what a normal, healthy nerve scan looks like. The middle scan shows
electrical activity of muscles and nerves indicating high tension before corrective care. The nerve scan on
the right shows markedly less nerve tension after corrective care.
Spine-Posture Correction Takes Time: As with most things in life, there is no such thing as a quick fix.
The correction of spinal and postural disorders requires healing over time. Decreasing severity of
abnormal alignment is shown from left to right in the figures above. (Green is normal and red is
abnormal)
The time-line shows estimation for total months of treatment beginning with extreme abnormal on the left
and moving towards normal on the right. Every 2-3 months your condition will be re-evaluated to judge
your rate of improvement.
