Our Patients Speak

Please see what some of our other patients are saying.

My name is Janine Truesdell. I became a patient of Dr. Bain's in September of 2008, after being diagnosed with idiopathic gastroparesis (paralyzed stomach), and suffering horribly from the condition and side effects of medications my then gastroenterologist told me I had "no choice" but to take. I also had a history of low back pain which interfered with my sleep, and ability to sit at my piano. A friend of mine was so insistent that Dr. Bain could help me, I decided to try him. I was skeptical that a chiropractor could help me live with gastroparesis. Not long after I started seeing Dr. Bain, he told me he wanted to get me off the medications I was taking for gastroparesis and GERD. I was even more skeptical about the prospect of going off the medications. 'I can't live without them,' I thought. He also told me my stomach was so out of whack, I would benefit from taking daily probiotics. Being the type of person that bulks at taking any medication unless it is "absolutely necessary," I was extremely resistant to this idea as well. At the time, probiotics seemed to me a trendy, unscientifically proven therapy. However, I was so miserable, and Dr. Bain seemed so knowledgeable and sincere, I figured I had nothing to lose and would give it a try. After two months of resistance, I finally took the leap of faith and went off my medications. I was completely overjoyed to be feeling better and OFF the meds! Next, I tried the probiotics (thank goodness Dr. Bain never gave up on me!) and my condition continued to improve. As if all of this weren't enough, I realized one day that my back pain was gone, and I hadn't had a sleepless night in...I couldn't remember! I was also sitting down to practice piano again – pain free! In my case, this kind of progress took time and commitment. While I experienced results after just a few weeks, I have been seeing Dr. Bain three times a week, because I know first-hand it takes time to retrain one's body. Dr. Bain has been an incredible blessing to me and my entire family (who are also his patients). He is a most caring and dedicated doctor, and has so carefully chosen his staff to uphold his vision of quality patient care. The icing on the cake is he is always positive, upbeat and funny. I believe he can help anyone, with any condition, and I think that the world needs many more doctors just like him.

Dear Dr. Bain:

I joined BNI Networking group in February of 2009, and in the spring was fortunate enough to hear your presentation about your business, practice and philosophy. I was overcome by your passion, enthusiasm and knowledge of health and wellness and I had the feeling that if you were that passionate about your health and life philosophy, there must be something to it. I have always felt that the medical profession was lacking by not promoting wellness, through nutrition, exercise, and supplements, rather than prescribing medications and this dovetailed well with your philosophy.

Shortly thereafter, I was in an automobile accident and came to you for help in relieving the pain in my lower back. Your diagnosis was right on target and I began, what I thought was going to be a journey of therapy and rehabilitation. I will never forget our first appointment where you stated that your goal was to make me better than I was before the accident through treatment, rehabilitation and lifestyle.

I then began my program with you and your outstanding staff including your administrative personnel massage therapists, and physical therapists. In addition, you complimented everything with a diet and exercise program that would assist in my overall wellness.

I had no idea that this experience would literally be life altering for my health and me. I began following your diet and exercise routine, coupled with treatment and rehabilitation as well as workout routines given to me by your staff for use on my own and the results were astounding. I lost weight, had more energy and felt better than I had in years.

It has now been 7 months, I have just consolidated some life insurance and had to have a physical for my new policy, and in the process, I found the lab blood analysis that came with the old policy issued in 1995. My blood work today is far better than the blood work 14 years ago, and in addition, the new policy was issued at a Preferred rating, almost unheard of for a man of my age.

I can't thank you and your staff enough for what you have done for me. I intend to live out my life following your lifestyle prescription and will do all I can to influence others to do the same.

Sincerely,

Dan Rinaldo

Dr. Tim,

I just wanted to take a minute and again thank you and your team for everything you have done for me.

Here is a note of what happened to me and how the tools you provided have open the doors to new opportunities and a better life.

When I first entered your office you and your team welcomed me with open arms. My wife had to help me because I was unable to walk on my own. I was in extreme pain from the middle to the lower back. At first I really did not want to go but the alternative was to go through an operation according to the local hospital. You spoke to me and told me a little about yourself but to tell you the truth all I cared about was how I was going to get better.

As you started with me I thought it was a little different and not really sure if it was going to work but I was willing to give it 100%. I also had to open my mind up to something new (at least to me it was) and different. One of the hardest concepts to understand is the belief that the body actually can and does heal itself.

I remember you telling me that I would lose around 30 pounds if I would do thing you called a cleansing. The first thought was here we go, he is going to start asking me for money for all these crazy formulas. I reminded myself I was going to follow your instructions to the “T” and make sure that I did every little detail correctly. I really wanted to believe that this was going to work. The other thought was if I could lose 30 pounds then why wasn’t everyone doing it?

In working your program I was patient and knew that it took me most of my life to get this way and it is going to take me some time to recover. As I started to see some results I began to feel better, more energetic and my mind began to open up with new ideas. You and your team provided me with the tools to improve my body and my life but it was up to me to take the tools and start to allow my body to heel itself.

Once I began to realize that I can truly make a difference within myself and actually begin to transform myself. I began to have a vision of how I was going to feel and the goals I began to set for myself would be realistic.

As I was going through the process I began to realize that I was transforming and becoming a self healer (what I mean is you begin to see that your body taken care of itself). My body was only craving the good stuff and no more junk.

I let you worry about my body and I began to worry about my mind. I believed 100% and I have benefited from the results. I have taken the tools you have provided and have taken it to the next level. The possibilities are endless for me and I see things in a different light. I think clearer, much happier and full of life again.

My experience has been a positive one because I opened my mind up to new ideas and believed in what you and your team had to offer.

Thanks,
Jeff Pareja

When our oldest daughter was four, allergy testing was done due to her constantly suffering from allergy-like symptoms. The test results showed that she was allergic to common household allergen (dust, molds, mites, pet dander etc.). We immediately started her on medications: Singular, Claritin and Nasonex nasal spray. While on these medications, she continued to suffer and was diagnosed with several sinus infections; for which she was prescribed antibiotics. After one year of treatment and no resolution, the allergist informed us that the only option was allergy injections (shots). Not wanting to put our four year old through this, we began looking for alternative treatments. We were referred to Bain Family Chiropractic by friends that had experienced positive results through treatment from Dr. Bain. Reluctantly, we asked “why would we send our child to the chiropractor for allergy treatment?” We were always under the impression that chiropractors treated adult back and neck pain. After and initial consultation with Dr. Bain, we began to see an alternative, but were still quite skeptical. We’d comment, “This seems to good to be true; could it really be this simple?” After a lot of internet research, we called Dr. Bain several times with additional questions and concerns. Still not totally convinced, we then talked with several patients of his who shared their experiences with us. What did we have to loose; painless procedure that might actually work?

We decided to begin chiropractic treatment and give Dr. Bain’s “program” a try. Based on his recommendations, we modified our daughter’s diet, vitamins and committed to regular office visits. This was a “walk in the park” compared to hours of waiting in doctors offices, trips to the drug store and still having a sick child. It was almost immediate that we began to notice a change. In the first month, we gradually weaned her off all three allergy medications. Through painless treatments and dietary modifications, her immune system has strengthened substantially! She finally has the new ability to fight off illnesses and has been medication free for months now. Our new motto is “My spine’s in line. I’m feeling fine.”

This all began so our daughter wouldn’t have to have allergy shots, but has now become part of our family identity. Our entire family visits Dr. Bain regularly and our visits are always enjoyable. The office and staff are very child friendly. As parents, it’s a relief to know that you can achieve outstanding results without using needles and medications. Thank you Bain Family Chiropractic for giving us a healthy family and a new view alternative medicine!

Our son was born premature at 1LB 3oz. We were told by a number of pediatricians that our son would be more susceptible to illness due to his slower development being a “preemie”. For two years we were in and out of a number of pediatrician’s offices, filling antibiotic prescriptions that would work for two weeks only to see us return for the same or similar symptoms and another stop at the pharmacist. September of 2004 marked 2 and a half years of the same cycle. We made arrangements to meet with Dr. Bain to see if there was any alternative or help he could offer. Our son suffered from what doctors called ear infections, flux and yeast infections or “thrush” on his tongue. Our first visit with Dr. Bain and Joanne was a different experience then walking into a doctors office and walking out with a prescription for the next medicine that would “help”. Within two weeks of our first visit, his symptoms were gone and he was healthier by the day. There will always be skeptics for trying new or different things; this is definitely one thing I am not skeptical about.

Dr. Bain really knows his stuff. He takes a unique approach to the chiropractic world. He is great about explaining why things happen the way they do, in regards to the body, taking time with each patient. Alex and I are very pleased with our experience at this office. As owners of our own personal training company AAP Fitness Inc. We feel confident in referring our own clients.

Thanks Dr. Bain

Hi, my name is Kathy McDougall. A little over a month ago I was a walking physical mess. Unable to stand, sit or walk without excruciating pain. I was tired all the time, the color of my skin was ashen, suffering frequent migraines, wicked heartburn, trouble sleeping. All of these physical problems caused me to be very mentally depressed as well. To further add to my problems, I had be diagnosed with irritable bowel at a very young age and was unable to manage it all these years. Then, just a few years ago I was told I had fibromyalgia and to add insult to injury I was also entering menopause. The doctor told me that there was no cure and gave me Naproxen for the pain and Valium for the depression. I was miserable this way and I did not want to spend the rest of my life like this. Then a blessing occurred, I was introduced to Dr. Tim Bain on June 14, 2006. Dr. Tim explained that most of my troubles were being caused by my colon not working properly. He asked me how many times a day I was having a bowel movement. I laughed and said once every two days or once a week if that. He explained that this was the root of the evil. The waste was not leaving and was in fact seeping into my body. Also, because my body was not processing food correctly, I was not getting the nutrients from the food I was eating. The first step was to get my colon cleaned out and working properly. Dr. Tim explained that with the spinal adjustments and cleansing products I could begin on the road to recovery. Amazingly only one month later I FEEL GREAT!!!!! I have been having regular bowel movements at least twice a day, I can walk without pain, no more heartburn, I am sleeping through the night, and the migraines are gone. Thanks to Dr. Tim I feel healthier and happier than I have ever felt. I recommend Dr. Tim to everyone I meet. HE’S GREAT!!!!

When I decided to have my fourth baby in a birthing center I admit I was a little nervous. My third baby was induced a week early and was 9 pounds 3 ounces. Knowing that induction was not in my future I prepared myself for the delivery of what I knew would be a big baby. Five days after my due date we welcomed Brody into the family weighing in at a whopping 10 pounds 7ounces! He was healthy and beautiful and fit right into our family. As soon as he was born I noticed that he did not want to lie on his tummy on my chest, something all of my other children loved and was also not opening his mouth to latch on properly to nurse. At my three day check with my midwife she suggested I take him in to see Dr. Bain. When he was born he got a little "stuck" and had to be pulled out by the shoulder with a bit of force so we thought it would be a good idea to get him checked out. I called the office the next day and on his fifth day of life, he had his first chiropractic appointment. My mom and I watched as Dr. Bain adjusted Brody kicking and screaming, and then something amazing happened. While Dr. Bain was adjusting him, he completely stopped crying and relaxed his entire body and just laid there for the rest of the time like butter. Dr. Bain suggested I nurse him right away, explaining that a good adjustment works up a hunger, and was blown away by what happened next! He opened his mouth as wide as it would open and latched on like a perfect little nurser! I truly believe that if it were not for Dr. Bain, my best efforts to continue breastfeeding would have failed. Brody is nine months old now and is still nursing, and growing like a weed!!
