My wife and I came a long way from mainland China to visit Dr. Foran for lower back pain (lumbar disc herniation) and knee pain after seeing the impressive improvement in our daughter, who had been suffering from severe TMJ, dizziness and vertigo for many years, and no other treatment that seems close to being effective as NUCCA that performed by Dr. Foran.

Dr. Foran is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, responsible, patient, kind and caring that it completely changed my perception of a medical practitioners in Canada. He diligently follows through each case and takes each of his patients seriously. It surprised me that he contacted us asking how we did the next day after our initial adjustments.

Before visiting the office, my daughter has shared us lots of information and helped us understand the principles and the importance of the NUCCA procedures, emphasizing how crucial to have the examinations taken in the initial appointments. My case is not simple based on the diagnose of the Nucca X-Ray; however, it is mind-blowing my misalignment got fixed within only one appointment.

My balance has significantly improved, and I noticed the positive changes with my head and neck, and the pain with my lower back pain and knee pain seem to be disappearing along the way, only after 4 appointments.

I am glad with my progress within such a short time, and I also understand some cases may take longer than others to heal, like my daughter’s.

Based on the experience so far, maintaining spine balance for an optimal nervous system and blood flow is crucial for reactivating the natural healing of the body. I strongly recommend Dr. Foran and the NUCCA procedure for anyone experiencing pain or discomfort. I plan to revisit Dr. Foran for checkups whenever we are in Vancouver in the future.

My best friend, who has been suffering from different kinds of chronic pain in her body (neck pain, vertigo, headache, TMJ etc.) for so many years, improved her symptoms and overall health greatly after seeing Dr. Foran for only SIX visits! I am genuinely grateful that the NUCCA technique and Dr. Foran's team brought back my friend's life.

Dr. Foran is one of the two NUCCA Board members in Canada. I highly recommend Dr. Foran and his NUCCA Spine Clinic to anyone searching and looking for the BEST care for their chronic pain and overall health!

Dr. Foran is knowledgeable and professional in his field of upper cervical care. Dr. Foran is also highly responsible, trustworthy and respectful of each patient who comes for care. He has been very low-profiled while willing to go the extra mile for patients’ recovery.

The initial pre-screening, examinations and consistent measurement before and after the adjustments in each visit are crucial as the clinic’s protocol, which has been missing in more and more chiropractic care nowadays. If you are looking for an excellent upper cervical and spine assessment and treatment to take care of your overall wellness beyond only focusing on symptoms, here is the right place to go.

We are glad to hear back from Vicky today after many years she taught my sons until they went to UBC, who now continue to play music actively while pursuing their bachelor studies in medicine and science. She shared her healing experience with Dr. Foran, and we were very impressed by Dr. Foran's Nucca specialty. So many people suffer from chronic pain and symptoms that are too common to find the root cause with the correct solution. We are blessed to have a unique and professional chiropractor who can cure long-lasting body pain. Vicky influenced many kids and teenagers. She went beyond being a music teacher to nurture and bring out and shape the best quality of students through their music learning path while remaining very low-profile. After seeing her recovery, we will go to the Nucca Clinic in Vancouver for any discomfort in the future. And we strongly recommend Dr. Foran to anyone struggling with dizziness, vertigo, headache, whiplash and neck pain.

I have been a patient of Dr. Foran and the NUCCA Spine Clinic since 2010 and I attend his clinic on a monthly basis to maintain my optimum health. I have been a NUCCA patient for over 30 years and have benefited tremendously from the NUCCA method of Chiropractic care which is non invasive, gentle and more effective compared to other Chiropractic methods. I would like to thank Dr. Foran and his excellent staff for their compassionate care, friendly and helpful services and superior knowledge and dedication to their patients. My experience with NUCCA has been life changing and I would highly recommend Dr. Foran as your first source for Chiropractic care.

My dearest friend is an amazing violinist and a professional and dedicated teacher. She has suffered headaches, neck pain, and dizziness for years, and her career has almost ended. I am so happy to finally hear from her today that she got significant relief and improvement with her symptoms after seeing Dr. Foran. I look forward to hearing her playing again and am so glad she can continue to inspire young lives.

The Nucca technique is indeed highly effective and life-changing. I will check out Dr. Foran for my spine and back pain when I visit Vancouver early next year!

I am so thankful for Dr. Foran and his treatments which have brought back my life with significant improvement in my chronic suffering within only a few appointments. Dr. Foran and his team are the best of the best!!

I had been suffering from chronic neck pain, headache, ongoing vertigo, constant dizziness, panic attacks, anxiety, shortness of breath and jaw pain(TMJ/TMD: Temporomandibular Disorder) for almost eight years since my late 20s. After my previous TMJ/TMD treatments, my jaw function improved, but the rest of the symptoms had been persistent or decreased very slowly. My life remained miserable, fighting hard to gain back the basic functions. I could not sleep in a bed but only sit upright throughout the night due to vertigo and neck pain; walking or taking a bus was challenging as any neck or body movement could potentially trigger vertigo or a panic attack; life and work were so hard to bear that I never thought I would be even closed to normal again, all I prayed was not to wast the life I was given to fulfil its purpose. And all these got changed entirely after I saw Dr. Foran. Now I can sleep in bed, and the overall pain level has decreased dramatically and can continue to stay low. I can accomplish most of the daily tasks in life effortlessly, and I can socialize and openly communicate without trying hard to listen and stay focused. There were so much more changes I can list out, but most importantly, I no longer have to pretend to be normal to sustain life but to have the ability to be the person I want to live in life.

Dr. Foran is patient, caring, professional and knowledgeable in his specialty. The initial appointments with the consultation, data collection and X-Ray were crucial in guiding the treatment, which was well worth the investment to make as a new patient. Dr. Foran is a fantastic chiropractor for what he does and how he clearly explains this precise, gentle, non-invasive spinal adjusting technique (NUCCA) that can help with my case. Each step and treatment was clear and well explained so that I knew exactly where I was and where I was heading. After the first adjustment, I already noticed changes in my body.

I strongly recommend Dr. Foran, Marie and his team to anyone who suffers from neck pain, headache, dizziness, whiplash injury, TMJ or other chronic pain! Without health, life is meaningless; but hope and success are not far off.

I was hit from behind while at a red light in April 2021. I sustained a concussion from whiplash, and it immediately changed my life. I would have chronic headaches/migraines, trouble focusing, and pain reverberating through my neck, shoulders, and lower back. In September 2021, I started to experience memory loss, and my focus worsened. I was seeing a Physio 1-2 times a week, and even though my symptoms lessened for a day or two, I was still having headaches, nausea, and neck pain. My recovery hadn't changed much come Jan 2022, and I was learning to live with the chronic pain and discomfort and trying to come to terms with my new life of misery. It wasn't until I started to experience dizziness, vomiting, walking into walls, and pressure in my head so badly that I thought my head would explode that I knew I had to research more. I couldn't accept living this way. I found Dr. Foran on a google search, and I am forever grateful. Since starting his adjustments, my pain has gone down significantly. I no longer have to keep a headache diary because I have not experienced one headache since being adjusted. I no longer walk into walls, fall over, lose concentration or get easily irritated. My focus has improved, and my quality of life has come back. I feel like I am starting to get back to who I was before the accident. If you suffer from chronic pain, I recommend checking out Dr. Foran.
