Pure Balance Center

A Broad Street center with a Pilates studio

Pure Balance Center is at 1425 Broad Street, suite 4, in Clifton. Chiropractor Michael Magwood studied kinesiology at the University of Waterloo and earned his chiropractic degree at New York Chiropractic College in 2000. The center also houses an IM=X Pilates studio. Its practice describes chiropractic and physical therapy among separate services; a Pilates class and a clinical appointment have different purposes and should be booked accordingly.

Services and the first conversation

The center describes family chiropractic and says Magwood has training in the Webster technique for pregnant patients. It also advertises wellness and restorative services delivered through a wider team. The presence of a service on the menu does not establish that it is appropriate for a particular person or supported by the same quality of evidence as another service. Patients can discuss the provider’s qualifications, evidence, risks, cost and alternatives before choosing a procedure.

A recent visitor describes Magwood explaining the planned care and answering questions. Another account concerns a separate wellness service. These individual reports provide context about communication rather than a guarantee of results.
