I'm so thankful that Ann turned me on to you. What would I do without you. Just wanted to let you know that my wrist is almost back to normal.  Swelling is gone and I can pick things up with my right hand again. Thank you.  Thank you. - Joan V.

You recommended several different blood tests to find out what food allergies I might have that could be causing the inflammation in my body.  My treatment at that time and for the two previous years was cortisone shots every four months in my left hip for the bursitis.  I was taking Ibuprofen for arthritis in both my hips, which barely helped the bursitis pain.

Before I started your recommended treatment, except for the 4-6 weeks after I’d had a cortisone shot, I was unable to walk up even a slight incline or hill due to the intense pain the pressure caused in my left hip.  I was not able to walk very far, even on flat ground, for more than about a block without hip pain.

On your recommendations, I started taking Metagenics Ultra InflmX medical food and fish oil for the inflammation.  As it happened, I was camping 3 weeks later and found that I could climb up a hill without any bursitis pain.  I was amazed that in only 3 weeks, the Metagenics Ultra InflmX medical food and fish oil that I was taking made such a difference.  The blood tests showed I had food allergies to milk and eggs, which you said are also responsible for inflammation and I have cut these foods out of my diet. 

I am now back to doing short hikes and walks again without the pain I was previously experiencing. 

Your recommended treatment of Metagenics Ultra InflmX medical food, fish oil, vitamins B and D and no egg or milk products, has really changed my life for the better and I no longer need the cortisone shots.

Thank you again for helping me, I so appreciate your help. - S.B.

I would not be able to easily fly in an airplane or use an elevator or cross a bridge if I was not a patient of Santa Rita Chiropractic.  I’d probably be insulin dependent if it were not for Santa Rita Chiropractic.

This is impossible!  No, I say it’s very possible.

I came upon the offices of Dr. Tina Roach-Gagnon back many years ago.  I was looking into alternative therapies for my arthritis-and had studied up on these therapies.  I was actually looking for a naturopath and that doctor referred me to this office.  Having grown up as the child of a registered nurse, I was unsure I wanted to try something other than typical therapies.  However, I knew it was the right thing to do when I walked in and met Dr. Tina and began asking questions.  She happily answered them all.

Since coming to the office, I have been treated with chiropractic medicine and many of the other techniques Dr. Tina utilizes.  She has always been very patient with me and will always ask if I am willing to try something new beforehand.

A few years ago, I hurt my foot.  My arch fell.  The pain was so excruciating that I visited not only my primary care physician, but also a podiatrist in addition to Dr. Tina.  One day, I visited 3 doctors in one day!  That’s pain!   I truly believe that her work on my foot and leg at that time made all the difference in my recovery. 

Now today, I can walk (I actually just came back from a walk).  I have pain in many joints but most days I am fine.  I am no longer going down the road to agoraphobia and willingly and easily travel about the Bay Area and the country.  I even made 1 trip to Europe!  I eat better than ever before with much improvement still needed.  I take my vitamins most days.  I can even help myself by stretching daily and working on acupressure points.   I use my favorite chiropractor regularly, have massage regularly, and keep a bottle of Rescue Remedy handy at all times! 

I would recommend this office to anyone wanting to maintain or find health.  And I have.  All I ask is that you leave an appointment open for me from time to time! -S.P.

The Stress Buster Class lead by Dr. Tina Roach-Gagnon was amazing. The Stress Buster Class lead by Dr. Tina Roach-Gagnon was amazing. She met with my team once a week for 8 weeks and each week brought something new. We learned how to do self-mediation customized for each individual. She gave us de-stressing tools to use in our own life and even taught us Art Therapy which is a great way to release the past and move forward!

As the mother of an 11 year old boy facing major back surgery, I was desperate to find an alternative solution to surgery and the painful testing that would have to be done prior to the surgery.  Dr. Gagnon treated my son weekly, then every two weeks, then monthly.  Now we are down to once a season as a “tune up”. The office visit took 20 minutes and was not painful or invasive in any way. His symptoms almost completely disappeared after the first adjustment!! Now, of course, he is symptom free. That is what I would call a success story. - C.C. (A Happy Mother!)

By January, it was pretty painful. I did not see a doctor, because I did not want the doctor to give me a cortisone shot. I had it twice years ago and found it very painful. I took Tylenol for relief, but it didn't help. The pain just got worse. I couldn't hardly do anything with my arm, especially opening doors or reaching for something. I started chiropractic treatment in February. I was skeptical of chiropractic help before, but I have learned a lot since I have been treated by Dr. Tina. It has taken 3 1/2 months of treatment, but I am now free of pain and able to do my little chores. I can now reach, lift and vacuum without wincing at every little movement. I'm a believer now! -Connie O.
