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.

I had been going through physio, chiro, acupuncture, rmt, etc. for almost four years before I found Dr. Foran randomly on Google. It was the best decision I could have made. In under a year, my health has changed dramatically and I feel so much better than I have in a long time. My migraines have decreased and I no longer feel pins and needles or stabbing pains. I am so glad to have found Dr. Foran and recommend him to anyone interested in improving their overall health. It also helps that Dr. Foran and Marie are incredibly personable and enjoy humourous banter (especially sarcasm which is my forte).

The dizziness stopped and after 2 days my coordination improved, my typing was back to normal and I felt better. I could enjoy walking again except that we got that heat wave,
Thanks for a good adjustment.

I've visited Dr Michael Foran over 20 years. I've had chronic neck issues since my early 20's and Dr Michael Foran is the only chiropractor I'll go to now. I get relief within hours, and the inflammation and pain goes down within hours. I'm an active person and at times, when my back is out, I'm in too much pain to be active and the tension and soreness gives me headaches and leaves me tired and cranky. I live in Victoria and come to Vancouver to see Dr Foran as he really does put me in alignment. I'd highly recommend him!

I get adjustments regularly to maintain my spinal health due to regular wear and tear from my active lifestyle. I've also had some significant injuries, like falls, bike crashes and car accidents, and would be in rough shape without NUCCA chiropractic. I exacerbated one of these injuries this week after doing an online exercise class I hadn't done in awhile. My neck from my jaw to my shoulder blade was so enflamed, sore and throbbing on one side that I couldn't turn my head or lift it off of my pillow without using my hands to support it, and of course, pain.
I made an appointment with Dr. Mike right away, and following my adjustment, I could actually feel the pressure and inflammation deflating like a balloon. The difference in a matter of hours was incredible. I had constant "7" pain and couldn't turn my head this morning, and now, I almost have full range of motion, and I'm almost pain free. I suspect after resting my heavy head overnight that I will not even remember that I had difficulties sleeping, turning and getting up due to paralyzing pain the previous day. The science and physics of chiropractic makes physiological sense- pinched nerves from subluxation cause inflammation and pain. Correct the misalignment, and the nerves will calm down and stop sending those pain signals to the brain. You can't beat a natural, holistic, efficient and efficacious treatment that restores balance and energy to the whole body using safe methods of calculated force and energy. To me, the evidence is clear: following an adjustment, my pain is gone, my function and my mood improved almost immediately, and my quality of life is reflected in 5 stars

Having had a serious neck injury years ago, without an adjustment over time my right arm and hand go numb, my back muscles twist and the pain travels up through my shoulder to my neck and I experience debilitating headaches. After Dr Foran adjusts me my body relaxes, I can sleep, write and drive without numbness, back muscles untwist and I am again free of headaches and pain! Thank you Dr Foran!

Due to a high fall while downhill mt. biking, my neck was injured badly. I had severe neck, shoulder and back pains that caused challenging daily mobilities. Dr. Foran was referred by a friend and I found his adjustments reduced my pains and then eventually pain free.
