Patient Testimonials
"I came to Dr. Minond because I was having joint problems. Specifically, my knees hurt almost constantly. I knew it was because I was overweight.
Instead of just telling me to lose weight, Dr. Minond treated the pain in my knees.
Because he was so gracious with me, I finally summoned up the courage to ask if he could help me with my diet.
He was kind enough to recommend some nutritional supplements for me to try. He then worked with me to create a diet. Surprisingly, it was a diet I could live with."
-Jenni, age 36
Over Christmas, I cooked dinner for my family. I guess I pulled something when I took the turkey out of the oven, because the next day I could barely walk. A week later, I was still experiencing horrible back pain. I went to my doctor and he suggested an MRI and gave me some prescriptions. All the pills did was make me sleepy.
My sister suggested I make an appointment with Dr. Minond. I felt better after my first appointment with him! He really took the time to talk with me and find out where I was hurting.
I canceled my MRI and I continue to see Dr. Minond. I have received excellent care.
-Gloria, age 43
I made an appointment with Dr. Minond because I couldn't walk without my legs burning and hurting. Standing up was difficult and I was having to depend on a cane to walk. I thought it was just old age.
Dr. Minond diagnosed me with sciatica. He has been performing adjustments on my lower back for over a year now. Every day that I am free from pain is a blessing. Dr. Minond really cares about his patients. He takes the time to listen to me and I feel as if he really hears me. Even my G.P. is impressed with how well I am moving around.
-Jim, age 72
I woke up one morning and could not turn my head to the right. I was really scared. It hurt so bad. I had never experienced such bad pain. When I got to work, I was crying because my neck hurt so badly. My co-worker called Dr. Minond for me and immediately made an appointment. In fact, Dr. Minond was able to work me in that very afternoon.
It turned out the pain in my neck was from sleeping on a poor-quality pillow and from sitting improperly while working on my computer. Dr. Minond treated the source of the pain and he recommended a better pillow and showed me how to sit properly. In addition, he gave me some sets of exercises to do at my desk.
I see Dr. Minond for maintenance visits and have not suffered from any type of neck pain in over two years.
-Cindi, age 26
I hurt my knee playing football. When I was rushed to the Emergency Room, the doctor there told me I would have to have surgery for a torn ALS. He also said that my football career was over. I was so angry about this knee pain and I was angry that I would need surgery.
My mom took me to Dr. Minond. She uses him because he keeps her free of migraines. He took some x-rays and then he told me that he could help me. He did a lot of physical therapy on my knee. He used ultrasound and what he said was a TENS machine. It made my knee quit hurting. He also gave me some exercises to do at home.
The next year, I was back on the football field. I never did have to have that surgery. I see Dr. Minond now after every football game.
-Russ, age 17
I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome about 18 months ago. My neurologist suggested making an appointment with a surgeon and scheduling surgery, but I really didn't want to go that route. I found Dr. Minond online and decided to give him a try. After a few visits, the numbness in my hand seemed to disappear. I see Dr. Minond once a week and am so grateful that he has saved me from pain and from surgery.
-Corene, age 31
There were several times that I thought I was suffering from a heart attack, only to be told by the ER doctors that the pain was all in my head. Thank you Dr. Minond, for listening to me and giving me a thorough examination.
It turned out that I had a bulging disc that was causing me thoracic pain. You explained to me how the pain in my neck was showing up in my chest. Thanks to all your different treatments, I rarely suffer from any pain. I just can't thank you enough.
-Nick, age 47
I went to see Dr. Minond on the recommendation of my sister. I fell at work over five years ago and suffer from fibromyalgia. Even sitting hurt sometimes. I was practically bedridden. Dr. Minond put me on a diet, prescribed vitamins and supplements, and prescribed a course of treatment that included regular adjustments and ultrasound therapy. I feel like a different woman. There are days that I forget I even have fibromalgia.
-MaryLin, age 59
I have suffered from GERD for so long that I can't remember what it is like to eat a normal meal. It interfered with my sleep schedule and it interfered with my social life. Luckily, I read that Dr. Minond could help, so I gave him a try. What a difference in only three visits! I am able to eat without getting sick now.
-James, age 32
Every time allergy season came around, I was miserable. I couldn't breathe, my nose was either running or stuffy, or both. My head would pound and I just could not go outside. My husband had been seeing Dr. Minond for his headaches and he suggested I make an appointment. I can't believe the difference. Dr. Minond has enabled me to get my life back. I am so happy not to have to take those horrible antihistamines anymore for my allergies.
-Leigh, age 28
I had suffered from a ringing in my ears for so long that I actually thought it was normal. I thought everyone heard the high-pitched buzzing I did. It seemed I always stayed in trouble at work for being tired and not being efficient. I actually went to see Dr. Minond for my headaches.
He realized I had tinnitus and cured it. Can you imagine how I feel to be free from the buzzing after a lifetime? In fact, I am sleeping through the night and I got a raise at work. Dr. Minond is my "miracle worker."
-Jackie, age 26
It seemed as if I always kept a sinus infection. I was actually addicted to nose drops and antihistamines. One day, a co-worker told me that she had been seeing Dr. Minond for her allergy problems. I laughed at her. After all, what on earth did my back have to do with my nose?
She kept on and kept on and finally I broke down and made an appointment. I couldn't believe the amount of time Dr. Minond spent with me, getting my history and asking me questions about my life. He prescribed some vitamins and supplements for me and suggested a change in my dietary habits. I laughed to myself when he did that. Again, it was my nose that was bothering me, not my stomach.
Apparently, it was my day for surprises. The treatment plan he prescribed for me, along with regular spinal adjustments have kept me clear for over eight months now. What a joy it is to be able to breathe again.
-Alex, age 38
I had suffered from migraines since I was in high school. I missed at least one day a month due to my migraine headaches. I was on a lot of different medications, but none helped. I was searching the Internet for migraine treatments and came upon Dr. Minond and his website. I decided that I had nothing to lose except maybe some pain, so I made an appointment.
What a difference a changed diet and regular adjustments are making. In the past two years, I have only had one migraine. You have to understand that I used to have at least 12 a year for over 20 years.
I can never thank Dr. Minond enough for making such a difference in my life.
-Doris, age 33
Dr. Minond has been using Applied Kinesiology techniques on me for over a year now. I was injured in an automobile accident almost two years ago. I was lucky to be alive, but I had a broken leg, several broken ribs, whiplash, and a broken hand.
Dr. Minond used his holistic treatments on me to help relieve the pain I was suffering. He was so gentle with me. Somehow, his touch even seemed to relieve the itching I was experiencing from the casts. There were nights I would cry from the pain until I began seeing Dr. Minond.
He is an expert at AK and I would recommend him to anyone. I see him weekly now and I am so glad I had him to help me through my recovery.
- Kayla, age 23
Dr. Minond and CranioSacrral therapy have both made such a difference in my life. As one who suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome, I feel tired and achy all the time. In addition, I am always stressed and carry a ton of tension in my neck. When I first came to Dr. Minond, I sat and cried for over half an hour. The amazing thing is that Dr. Minond sat there and listened to me cry.
When he started treatment, I was astonished. I was expecting it to be painful. Instead, it was like a long, relaxing, yet invigorating, trip to the spa. Dr. Minond has taught to better manage my stress also. I no longer feel my shoulders bunching up into balls of tension.
Never before have I had a doctor who was as compassionate and caring as Dr. Minond.
-Kathie, age 40
I suffer from ulcerative colitis. Dr. Minond taught me this yoga technique so that I could learn how to better control my symptoms. By learning the peace and calm required of this discipline, I am better able to manage my disease. Combining static yoga with other types of therapy enables me to often go for months without a flare-up.
I have learned how to slow down and listen to what my body is trying to tell me. Instead of only treating the symptoms of my ulcerative colitis, Dr. Minond treats my disease, all the while treating me as a person. So often, "traditional doctors" only see us as a walking illness. Not Dr. Minond, he is able to see the person as they should be, illness and disease free.
-Julie, age 62
I am a businessman who has to fly out of the airport almost daily. I have a problem with flying because I tend to get airsick. It is very embarrassing to get sick in front of your co-workers.
I made an appointment with Dr. Minond because I was suffering from "golf elbow." He and I were discussing my upcoming business trip and I told him about my problem. He gently laughed and said he could help me with my problem. He explained about acupressure and showed me how to use it on myself when flying.
The next day, I used it whenever I felt nauseous. It worked so well that I never get sick while flying anymore. I have even used this method of therapy when I have gotten an upset stomach and it works every time.

Dr. Minond has changed my life forever. In May of 2007 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. My legs would buckle in mid-stride when walking. I would also have dizzy spells associated with this, as well as warm flashes and tingling in my arms and legs. For about a year I debated whether or not I should take the injectable medication that my doctor wanted me on. I finally decided to go on the injections and for 6 months I experienced crazy side effects including seizures, and constant deja vu moments. I decided I couldn't commit to staying on these meds and needed another way to treat this. A friend referred me to Doctor Minond.
My whole life changed from my very first visit to Dr. Minond. He educated me on his whole food/organic lifestyle and suggested I begin to change up my diet. He put me on essential oils and fatty acids, and also removed several foods from my diet that I was consuming, including dairy and all artificial sweeteners. The kinesiology and chiropractic adjustments he did were also imperative to my improvement. After every single session, I would feel a world of difference.
Within the first 2 months of seeing Dr. Minond, my symptoms diminished almost completely. And 2 years later I got a new MRI and the disease had 0 signs of progression! I am the biggest believer in what Dr. Minond does, and cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking to live a healthier and more inspired life.
I'm so thankful I met him when I did. I'm certain that you will feel the same.
