Reviews of Dr. Raminder Badyal -Vancouver Chiropractor (Chiropractor)

Guilherme Prezia

I fully recommend Dr. Raminder Badyal. I was having severe pain in my sciatica nerve. I could not seat, or drive or go to work. Based on the Google reviews and decided to book a appointment with Dr. Raminder. After the first session I was already feeling 50% better and now, after 4 sessions, I am feeling much better and back to the normal routine. Thank you Dr. Raminder and also thank to Bruce, assistant who works together with Dr Raminder and helped to created an outstanding experience at Downtown Wellness Centre.

I have been going to Dr Badyal for over 3 years, with numerous injuries from weight training and playing sports, and I have yet to have an injury that Dr Badyal hasn't been able to fix. Dr Badyal is very proffesional, is able to pin-point the problem quickly, and provide care to alleviate the issue. He also provide techniques to do on your own to prevent the problem from happening again, and teaching the patient what caused the problem, and steps you can take to be more healthy and prevent injuries from occuring in the future. He has a very deep understanding of the body, and I have no problem recommending him to anyone.

I have been going to the Downtown Wellness Center for Chiropractic care since 2008. I always enjoy my visits, and leave feeling relaxed and pain free. Bruce is friendly and efficient, and Dr. Badyal has always been knowledgeable, honest and effective. After years of plantar fasciitis and chronically tight adductors, Dr. Badyal assessed my gait and ordered custom orthotics for me. They have made a world of difference for my balance and comfort during physical activity and during general daily activities. I now see Dr. B for regular tune-ups. I find these especially beneficial with concurrent massage therapy and strength training. I recommend Dr. Badyal and the Downtown Wellness Center to anyone seeking affordable, effective, quality healthcare.

I have been a patient of Dr. Badyal's for several years and I can honestly say that out of all the chiropractors I have seen over the years, he is by far my favourite. I love that he starts off each treatment with electrodes and a heating pad, and sometimes a massage, which as someone else mentioned, is pure heaven. The other services that I have received at Downtown Wellness have been outstanding. Bruce, the office manager, is always friendly and a delight to talk to. Ed Wong, one of the RMT's is fantastic, and Dr. Luis, the Naturopath, has been a great help to me. I highly recommend this clinic, and I am extremely picky, so that says a lot!

Clay E

Ive been visiting Raminder Badyal once a month now for about 4 years to work out the kinks and aches in my back and legs. I have to say that by the time my next visit is due I can't hardly wait ...I participate in many sports and if it wasn't for those monthly visits to Dr.Badyal I wouldn't be able to enjoy playing and giving it my all... I have recently had Dr Badyal set me up for 2 sets of Orthotics and ...WOW...simply awesome...i feel like I've got a bounce in my step..no more aching of tired feet...Thank You !! Dr.Badyal for all your help and advise in keeping this 58 year old going like a 20 year old.....well a bit of a stretch... but ....lets say a 35 year old. Many Thanks Again Gideon Entz.....or Clay E

Taymoor Arif

Dr. Badyal took care of my chronic foot & back pain issues so well that after few months I started to feel that I never had these issues. He is very knowledgeable, professional & caring for his patients.

lisa shiozaki

Both Dr. Badyal and Bruce are amazing humans! Since wfh, I had an excruciatingly painful neck pain followed by back pain and they immediately booked me in and treated me. Dr. B also provides regimens to do at home after treatment --icing and stretches. The entire process was seamless, and I walked out of the clinic feeling 120% better. Can't recommend them enough!

KCAdmin College

My experience with Dr. Badyal and the entire team at Downtown Wellness center has been an absolute treat! With warm and inviting personalities backed buy attentive and personalized care, I knew I was in the right hands. Dr, Badyal is also wonderful at keeping my tendency to stress out (and exacerbate the problem) at bay. An all around A+ from me and my lower back :)

Karthik Sampath

Dr. Raminder is exceptional in identifying the cause of the pain and curing it completely. My neck stiffness issue was completely disappeared in couple of week after the treatment. He is friendly, knowledgeable and energetic with his patients. I strongly recommend Dr. Raminder.

Navi Guraya

I have had nothing by positive experiences with Dr. Badyal and Bruce, his office manager. I continue to be completely blown away by how helpful, kind and efficient they both are. They provide fun and comfortable environment with a flexible schedule and always follow up to ensure my appointment time still works for me. Dr. Badyal is a professional and very knowledgeable; he makes me feel comfortable and at ease throughout each appointment. After 30+ appointments, I consider the Downtown Wellness Centre team my friends, and highly recommend them to anyone who requires chiropractic care.

Victoriano Perez

He is the best chiropractor. The office is in a great location, since you enter you feel welcome by Bruce in the reception, I had a horrible back/shoulder pain but now I can't complain about it. Got my orthotics with him to, they were quick and comfortable. Highly recommended

Joni

Chiropractic care from Dr. Raminder Badyal is amazing! I have been Dr. Badyal's client for many years. His a warm and genuinely caring personality and approach to chiropractic care and wellness assures me I am receiving the best care in the city.

David Hannigan

Dr B and Bruce are the best! Dr B got me running again after I was told i should not run anymore because of my knees! He knows his stuff.

Yutaka A Tabata

I've seen several other chiropractors and Dr. Badyal is heads and shoulders better than any of them. You can tell he cares about his patients. Don't bother seeing any other chiros. What makes him good? Well... a) He does a PROPER assessment and he tells you exactly what's wrong and what he's going to do to fix it. You'd expect all chiros to do this but they don't. b) You can tell he genuinely cares just by the way he communicates. c) Lots of extras that other chiros usually don't provide (printouts of stretches and problems areas, a 2-3 minute stretching session, application of the anti-inflammatory sprays, etc)

Geoff Hawsworth

Willing to see me immediately during an emergency, when all other chiropractors were booking into the next week, Dr. Badyal went beyond what others would do to make time in his busy schedule and provide the urgent treatment I needed. Definitely the most up-to-date office and approach I've seen in a chiroprator.

Amanda Muller

Dr. Badyal is an excellent chiropractor. I have a decent scoliosis curve and Dr. B always took the time to work on my muscles before he made any adjustment. The office is always a pleasant place to be.

Anita Majumdar

I'm an actor and was working at The Arts Club Theatre during the fall when I sustained a shoulder injury in rehearsal Sept 2019. I looked around for a chiropractor who was close to my hotel and who could see me right away. Dr. Badyal's lovely assistant, Bruce, got back to me right away by email even though the office was closed over the weekend. He made sure I had an appointment right away for Monday morning. Despite having been to many chiropractors and therapists, Dr. Badyal had a lot of new information for me about the cause of my pain. I also really appreciated that he had stretches and regime for me to do at home so I didn't feel like I had solely rely on chiro appointments to get pain relief every week. Dr. Badyal is extremely good at what he does and put me on the path for long term body alignment and equipped me with tools I could use to help with pain in the future. Both Bruce and Dr. Badyal took excellent care of me and always made me feel so welcome and cared for when I arrived for my appointment and everything was always on schedule. So grateful I came across his clinic, I really lucked out!

Mikako Chiba

For the last couple years, I had been having my backache & headache and I decided to see Dr. Badyal. Dr Badyal always gives me enough time to convey what kind of problems and pains I have. I could feel that he really cares about his patients and prescribes only after he listens to his patients carefully and diagnosis. He doesn't only give great chiropractic treatment, but also educates about muscles and gives advices to change your bad habit which is causing my pains. I will definitely recommend Dr. Badyal to anyone! I am also very grateful to Bruce who is an office manager there. Whenever I visit there, he welcomed me very warmly. He creates very warm and happy environment there. I was always enjoy seeing his kind smile and chatting with him! Thank you so much for your great service :) Mika

Great Dr always helps me out. Explainations are simple to the point Thanks Doc

Shawn Carreiro

This place has saved me lots of pain for both me and my wife. We have been seeing Dr.B for about 5 years now and every time we leave, we feel fresh and fixed. It is very fascinating to see how he works and how he effortlessly finds the source of your pains and fixes you quickly with whatever magic he does! Besides the quality of service provided, he is a very friendly individual and very easy to talk to. The rooms are clean and relaxing and Mr. Bruce at the front desk is such a lovely soul which makes the whole package just a great experience. I highly recommend this place especially to those who are hesitant to try chiropractic remedies for their pains.

Carly Taylor

I was recommended to Dr. B's office a few months ago when I told me friend I was experiencing terrible shoulder, neck and back pain. My left shoulder felt as if it were popping in and out of place whenever I moved it backwards. The pain I was enduring had been going on for over four years. I had never tried going to a chiropractor before and was nervous but my friend urged me to try it out as Dr. B was "the best in Vancouver". Upon arrival at my first appointment, I felt very comfortable. Bruce, the receptionist made me feel very welcome and told me about his experience with a chiropractor and assured me I was in good hands. After the first week of sessions with Dr. B, I felt like a new person. He gave me stretches to do twice daily and homework on how I could benefit from the adjustments even more. Dr. B set me up with a massage therapist and also recommended I get foot orthotics which to no surprise have made running enjoyable again. I now see Dr. B once bi-weekly as I continue the road to wellness. I would recommend Dr. B to anyone living in pain or discomfort. It's not necessary to live your life like that!

Deirdry Bretas

I came in to see Dr.Badyal for a car accident injury in 2017, I've regained much of my back strength and neck movements. My Recovery process was by far the best under Dr.Badyal care. The Receptionist is very kind and he can be very helpful accommodating appointments. I highly recommend this clinic if you value efficient and helpful staff and a good Chiropractor.

Paul Newcombe

If possible, I would give Dr. Badyal an additional 50 stars here without hesitation. He is far more than a chiropractor. Think next level health and wellness practitioner. I was born in the mid 1950's and survived spinal meningitis at 5 months old. From spinal meningitis, to injuries sustained playing junior and college hockey, to now living in my 60s being less cognizant of proper self care than I often should be, Dr. Raminder's Health and Wellness Realignments and Reminders have put my battered 60 something spine back in proper alignment. He's given me a new lease on life. Do listen and do your "homework." Best ever chiro and so much more. Bruce at the front desk? Same. Heartfelt thanks always.

Ahmet Eren BURUNCA

First visit was nice, second visit he showed up for 2min max other than hooking up go a massage machine, he might have the knowledge but he doesn't care about patients

Heather Ens

I have been coming to this clinic for several months now and am impressed at not only how professional it is, but how friendly and warm the atmosphere is. I have had a bad back for about 5 years due to a car accident and Dr. Badyal was the first chiropractor to actually explain to me what is happening with my flare-ups and how to actually treat them. Many other health care practitioners in the past have not taken the time to explain (or figure out) my back condition, I'm happy to have found that that is not the case here. I would recommend his services to anyone.

Elliott Ebel

Dr. B and his staff are 'pros'. The care provided is excellent. The office and treatment rooms are organized, safe, relaxing/healing. Dr. B is a big part of my good health plan.

Bradley Babcock

Dr. Badyal, and his team have been a trusted part of my health and well being for a number of years. Dr. Badyal has a very gentle, friendly, caring approach to his Chiropractic work. He looks out for your best interest and ongoing health, never pushy with services.

Chronic Eileen

I have been seeing Dr. Raminder Badyal for a little over a year now as my regular chiropractor. I live with rheumatoid arthritis so a knowledgeable and trustworthy chiropractor was important to me. My rheumatologist, who also sees Dr. Badyal recommended him because of his extensive knowledge of the spine and those living with chronic pain or joint conditions. He' s treated both my arthritis and a neck injury from a car accident. With his work I also do not experience as much crepitus (sound/feeling of my joints moving), less headaches and less pain. I've stepped away from his care for surgery or due to the covid-19 outbreak only to go back because of the difference he makes with my spine!

Sanja Milanović

Sincere recommendation! After only a few therapies with Dr. Raminder Badyal, the terrible pain I had in my shoulder for months due to a frozen shoulder subsided. Very professional and kind Dr. Raminder Badyal, efficiently and quickly recovers my shoulder and restores movement in my arm. Moreover, it gives me tips for home treatment and exercise. I really recommend this clinic and the wonderful team of people in it.

Gerard Amador

I have been going to Dr. Badyal for my chiropractic care for about a year now. At one point, I decided to try another practitioner since it was closer to my work. Eventually, I came back to Dr. B because I felt that his technique is far more superior and elegant. A few months ago, I injured my knee and thought it would take a very long time to heal. I brought up the issue with him at the same time I had my lower back adjustment. I trusted him and let him do his thing. After that session, I felt immediate relief and my knee began to heal. I also injured my lower back from performing heavy lifting at the gym recently. After seeing Dr. Badyal for an adjustment, I felt comfort almost immediately. I am also given advice to what I can perform at home for self-care. I highly recommend Dr. Raminder Badyal to anyone looking for a long-term practitioner. Bruce, his receptionist (sidekick) is also very lovely. They’re very flexible with appointments. What are you all waiting for, get your lower back fixed!

Simone Bellini

Excellent chiropractor! Very friendly and very professional!

Vivian Xu

I am glad that I called and saw Dr. Badyal for my vertigo situation. Dr. Badyal was patient and welcoming on the first session to ask about details and listen to my symptoms experienced before making prudent diagnostic result. The first treatment had already been effective to a certain degree and all following treatments continued to get myself back to normal. Definitely recommended.

Kayitz Finley

Dr. Badyal and his staff are very pleasant to work with. Sanitary office, schedule always kept. Dr. Badyal has been extremely helpful with my issue. When I first came into Dr. Badyal's office, I had horrible inflammation on my lower back. With his work, my inflammation has gone down and my mobility has increased. I highly recommend working with Dr. Badyal and his office.

Hailey Lynne

Dr. Badyal is amazing! I couldn’t walk without being in pain for a few months because of a lower back injury, but after a couple appointments with him, I feel like my old self again! He is very knowledgeable and easy going! Bruce is very nice as well! It’s a great environment, I highly recommend!

Pink Lemonade

Great place! It is fast and efficient 10/10 would recommend.

Lynn Bee

VERY client focused! I've gone to see Dr. Badyal several times for my lower back issues and have only ever received amazing treatment. Medically, professionally, and personality-wise... Dr. Badyal and Bruce are both amazing people. I almost look forward to hurting my back again so I have an excuse to see them!

Akeem Pierre

Glad I read the Good reviews and decided to give Dr Badyal a try. was Very happy with the service from Bruce at the front desk. Dr. Badyal is very knowledgeable and Has a great systematic approach combined with great care and understanding. Would recommend to a friend.

Tim Forde

I have been to countless chiropractors and Dr. Badyal is one of the best that I have ever met. He is extremely professional and gives it his all each and every time. Both Bruce, the office manager, and Dr. Badyal are always very friendly and enthusiastic and they deliver the highest standard of service.

Kristy Gardner

After being wrongly treated for an arthritis knee inflammation issue at both a walk-in clinic and the ER, I contacted The Downtown Wellness Centre. I originally visited them for some neck pain a few months ago and was very impressed with their professionalism, friendliness, and the impressive results. Dr. Badyal accurately diagnosed and treated the issue quickly, and gave me some "homework" to do on my own when I got home. It felt better immediately and the swelling, pain, and inflammation are gone. I'm so grateful for the amazing treatment - I don't know what I would have done otherwise. I'd absolutely recommend the Downtown Wellness Centre to anyone needing their services.

Cristiane Aigner

For an extended period, I suffered from low back pain without being successful with medications or postural exercises. I had afraid of chiropractic, but with Dr. Raminder Badyal, I felt the confidence to experiment. He is a fantastic chiropractor, skilled and concerned about my problem, providing immediate relief from my pain. Currently, when my low back pain calls for attention, I do not doubt in making an appointment with Dr. Raminder Badyal. The clinic is pleasant, clean and well located and, above all, his assistant, Bruce, is a lovely person with whom I love to chat.

Gheiza Cruz

I have finally found a good professional for my back pain! Dr. Badyal is a great professional and helped me a lot! Bruce is wonderful as well! Thank you so much!!

dinesh sai

I went here with extreme lower back pain and within first few sessions, I felt a lot of difference. Dr. Raminder also suggests stretching exercises which are very important part of the cure and you should not skip them. I highly recommend this place.

Deborah Cahill

Fantastic Chiropractor! Dr. Badyal and his team always make you feel welcome to a clean and professional environment. His expertise, friendly manner and advise are always welcome. I highly recommend him.

Brittni Chessa

Came to him with constant neck and back pain. I have been pain free since seeing him. Highly recommend.

Vinita Nad

Over the past 7 years I have had hernia surgery, a torn miniscus in my knee, and most recently a torn achilles tendon. All these injuries occurred while playing sports and I felt a lot of anxiety and mixed emotions on how I was going to heal and get back to playing sports again.Through all my injuries and rehabs I have turned to Dr. Badyal and the Downtown Wellness Centre. Dr. Badyal has helped me wth recovering from my injuries, guiding me through my rehab, and giving me the inspiration and motivational support needed to fully recover and get back to playing the sports I love and leading an active lifestyle. I would strongly recommend Dr. Badyal and the Downtown Wellness Centre. Tars

Matin Fakhrzadeh

Dr. Badyal is by far the most knowledgeable chiropractor I have visited. His initial diagnosis was spot on and he devised an regiment for me to eliminate my lower back pain in a matter of 4 weeks. I had been struggling with back pain for 1.5 years before visiting him. I have seen then been a regular for 2 years and plan to continue seeing him as long as he is working.

Adam C

I don't typically write reviews but felt this was warranted.. I've never been to a chiropractor in my life but after tweaking my back doing squats I had to do something. I could barely take a couple steps without my back spasming.... After googling local chiropractors Dr. Badyal came up with raving reviews. I decided to give it a shot and and call in. Dr. Badyal squeezed me to his schedule right away and after the very first treatment I was walking properly and had my posture back! I was amazed and relieved how much of a difference one treatment made. The subsequent visits improved my condition further and I feel 80% just 5 days after what I thought was the worst pain ever. Thank you Dr. Badyal! This is professional medical care at its best!

Dave Stevenson

Great Chiropractor, friendly front office staff. They were able to get me in for an emergency visit at short notice. My SI joint is back in working order! Thanks Dr. Badyal

Nancy K.

Dr. Badyal is down to earth and very pleasant. He has helped me with my neck pain and gave great advice about posture and desk set up at work. Also has a great sense of humor as does Bruce at reception.

Matt Jason

The best Chiro in Vancouver!!! Super positive experience! Definitely the best medical professional I've ever been to. The whole team was great right from the start, Bruce the office & desk manager was extremely kind and welcoming. Dr. Badyal was very easy to talk to, listening to my pain issues and then getting right into the assessment making sure it was nothing serious. He explained everything throughout the treatment and gave me a two pager explainer + exercise + detailed anatomical photo of my spine and what was wrong at the end of my visit - really impressed by this as it's that extra time and care they take doing these things that really matter. I instantly knew he was the right guy to go to and the best Chiro in Vancouver! Pricing is reasonable and worth every dollar, when you see Dr. Badyal you know you're getting a top quality chiropractic professional and he's giving you 110% of his time and focus during your appointment. Stop reading this and just call and book an appointment already, you won't regret it! Fixed my back issues + like five other issues from simple things like better posture, stop using a wallet in my back pocket, etc.

I find myself recommending the Downtown Wellness Centre to a lot of people these days! Bruce, the office manager is so welcoming and personable. He likes to get to know all of the patients and always has time to chat. His positive demeanour is really quite infectious...if you go, you will see what I mean as you leave the office with a big smile on your face too one day:) Dr. Raminder Badyal is very caring and knowledgable. He always takes his time to check in with me about how Im feeling, how my back is feeling, and also how life is in general. His approach seems simple because its effective. He knew right away how to best strategize a plan for me and continues to consistently make precise and very satisfying adjustments. Plus he warms me up with an electric massage and a heating pad first so my muscles and ligaments are relaxed and flexible. In a short period of time I have come from experiencing shoulder pain, nerve pain down my arm, and headaches due to mild scoliosis in my thoracic spine to having no pain, virtually no scoliosis and a restored feeling of health deep in my bones. The Downtown Wellness Centre also provides Registered Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Naturopathic Medicine, and Orthotics so if you are not sure how to prioritize what your body is asking for, give Bruce a call.

The BarrTravels

For anyone that's really looking for a perfect treatment and perfect service, come to Dr. Raminder, ever since my minor accident i've been feeling better and better every time i go, Thank you very much Dr.

Kathryn Self Ransdell

Dr. B. is an insightful and grounded caregiver. He has helped me regain my health after a fall, encouraged me to re-activate my quest for physical health, and keeps me pain free. As a mother of young children, my back is often stressed from all the work it takes to keep up with the kids. I feel like my visits to Dr. B's office are some of the most precious and very few minutes I have to take care of myself. I highly recommend him, and, his office manager, Bruce, keeps me on track with my appointments.

Siamak Jafarian

The best chiropractor in Vancouver!

Nihad E. Karabernou McBride

I was fortunate to meet the wonderful and caring people of the Downtown Wellness Centre. Bruce (Office Manager) makes every visit extremely enjoyable. When I first visited Dr R. Baydal, I didn't fully understand what I was suffering from. I really appreciate his caring and professional approach and it is refreshing to find a doctor with so much knowledge. I also had the privilege to meet Dr J. Luis and in one word she is wonderful! Both gave me my quality of life back. I am a very satisfied client and I highly recommend Dr R. Baydal and Dr J. Luis.

Georgie Daburas

I highly recommend Dr.Raminder Badyal! Not that long ago I had one of my worst lower/mid back injuries ever. My back seized up completely and I was experiencing extreme pain, rendering me unable to move. After meeting with Dr.Raminder the first time, not only was I able to understand the nature and cause of my injury, but also following his instructions to the letter, my back got stronger each day and was back to being 100% and able to resume working out after only a few visits. Twenty days after my injury and with his help, I was able to hike again and went for my first Bungee Jump!!! :) Massive thanks to Dr.Raminder and Bruce his assistant. You have created a place of great energy and care. Thank you so much for helping me!

Sarita

Dr. Badyal is an excellent chiropractor! I came with some serious lower back pain and he fixed me right up. He is professional, engaging, charismatic and really cares about his patients! I highly recommend him. And Bruce, who works at the front office is an absolute delight! Two thumbs up!

Treading on the Snake

In 1995, I took a bad fall on black ice and landed hard on my left side, leaving my left shoulder and hip badly hurt. By 1998, arthritis set in in my lumbar sacral region of the spine. By 2001, my hips had rotated so badly I was unable to walk, carry groceries or even dance, my passion. The pain was so bad, plus not being able to get groceries, or dance, left me feeling life was over. Until I took a chance on a visit to Dr. Badyal. Within two months my hips were straightened back out and the joy of dancing was mine again, let alone walking without pain. I have visited Dr. Badyal's office once a month since then and can vouch for his professionalism and superb knowledge of how to keep my spine straight and without pain. I highly recommend Dr. Badyal's service. Don't wait until the problem gets as bad as mine did.

Asi Sudai

After a two weeks of working from home, due to covid19, my upper back and lower neck started to act out very strongly. Dr Raminder took me in for the first time and treated me with kindness and helpful guidance ????

Brian McCashin

Excellent very skilled. Appointments start on time

Greg Marenco

Dr. Badyal changed my life. I've had severe back issues for over 10 years limiting the kind of exercises I do and consistently living with debilitating pain. I recently re-injured it to the point I was unable to walk for a week and was bed ridden for over a month. Slowly I began to walk again but couldn't stand for longer than 10 minutes without being in severe pain. I went to chiros, physio therapists, acupuncture more times than I could count over a years time. I reached out to Raminder, and he fixed me in under 1 month. He gave me stretches to do at home and worked on me a couple times a week, later going down to 1 time a week until I was able to be good on my own. I can now work out again, walk properly, and keep my pain down to a 0-2 / 10 versus the 7-9 / 10 that I was living with. I continue to do daily stretches that he gave me and notice that as long as I do what he told me, I am able to live a pretty normal life. He is amazing, I highly recommend him and his clinic.

Alanna Dyck

I first met Dr. B after falling backwards off a couch holding a friend's baby. The baby, tucked safely into my chest, was laughing; I was not. I could hardly move my neck and was desperate. Amazingly, Dr. B made time for me right away. I was feeling much better after just the first treatment, and good as new shortly after. He's been one of the most important men in my life ever since. I'm a climber, triathlete, and all-around reckless individual. Chronic shoulder stiffness from swimming, tight glutes and hips from endless hours on the bike, and periodic foot injuries from running - whatever I throw at him, Dr. B makes better. And he doesn't just do the routine twist and crack; he treats the musculoskeletal system as a whole, including giving me homework for stretching, strength building, and icing when necessary. Dr. B is an indispensable part of my training regimen. And an added treat is being welcomed by Bruce, the magnificent man behind the desk who expertly coordinates the various office activities and makes every visit delightful.

Molly Sigalet

After suffering from plantar fasciitis for about a year I went to Dr. Badyal to see if using orthotics could help. After about one week I was pain free and now I'm running and hiking again with no symptoms. I couldn't be happier!

Ahren McIntee

I have been going to Dr. B at the Downtown Wellness Center for 5+ years. I have been in for athletic related ailments such as minor back strains, MCL strain, adjustments, advice, and general maintenance. His professionalism and knowledge have always been excellent. I know that each time I go in for a treatment I will be assessed and treated with care, attention to detail, and results. Who would go back for years unless you got results? He develops rapport quickly, has a genuine care for your health, and suggests follow up appointments as necessary. There is no feeling of excessive appointments as I have experienced elsewhere. I have recommended friends to see Dr B and they have all returned for subsequent visits with rave reviews. In short, from top to bottom I recommend Dr. B and his team. The warmth of the reception, the excellent professional treatment and the results keep me coming back. The whole team is great as I have also used massage and naturopathic services as well.

April

In 2013 I went to see Dr. Raminder Badyal with very severe back pain. I searched for a chiropractor because was turned away from St. Paul’s emergency, although I could barely walk and was in severe pain. I went to several walk in clinics and was not given any meaningful advice. If I could speak to my past self, I would recommend physiotherapy, as the assessment would have been accurate and the treatment would been gentle. I would have recommended the opposite of what I experienced with Dr. Raminder Badyal. Dr. Badyal did a fast assessment and completely disregarded the extreme pain I was in. He asked me to trust that if I could go beyond the pain, that his fast and simple adjustment would take care of the problem. Later I learned that my problem was an extremely inflamed spinal disk, and that the legitimate treatment is spinal traction, which takes months. However, Dr. Badyal is very confident, and so I trusted him, which was very foolish of me. Within 24 hours of his treatment I had to call an ambulance to move, as I was frozen and bound in pain. At VGH I was admitted to the spinal unit where I spent 7 days being cared for and recommended for fast track surgery as they found that my disk had burst and that the resulting inflammation was so large that the surgeon was hoping to cut it out for instant pain relief. However, at that point I had my fill of confident practitioners. I researched the Library of Congress medical studies and found that 90% of people can self heal from this injury. To Dr. Badyal’s credit, he called me to follow up, found out that I was in the spinal unit, and then gave me further advice on heat and ice regimes. To my credit, I made sure to not listen to his advice and reached out to find an amazing physiotherapist who helped me regain my ability to walk, and provided me with gentle and responsive care throughout my years of rehabilitation. For those who have read this far, ask yourself what your real needs are and if you are considering calling upon the services of Dr. Badyal, then make sure that you understand that he may not fully listen to you and go ahead and just do what he thinks is best, regardless of the outcome you may need to live through.

Nothing else to say except he's the best in town. Period

Dr. Badyal is always on time and thoroughly explains his findings and recommendations. He saw me short notice when I was experiencing bad back pain, and helped me investigate the cause and a solution. He is professional and friendly, as well as his office manager Bruce. Bruce is a pleasure to be around and very knowledgable when it comes to your insurance questions and fees. Also the reminder courtesy emails are a bonus. -Lily

Alanna Stewart

The team at DTW are wonderful. Bruce is incredibly efficient and professional; all while being incredibly friendly and multi-tasking. Doctor Badyal is my go-to person when I start to stress out and need a reboot. Great job!

Max T

Great office, flexible appointments, email reminders, good treatment. Usually physio/chiro experiences are a drag, but Dr. Badyal makes the recovery feel seamless.

Ginnelle Sussums

I have been a patient with Dr. Badyal for over 15 years now. He is an absolutely wonderful chiropractor! He always takes the time to listen to what ails you and works with you to correct the issue, not just provide an alignment. He has treated me through car accidents and pregnancy pains and you always feel welcome and heard. The office manager is also wonderful and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Badyal to anyone!

Bojana Popovic

I've been seeing Dr. Badyal for a while. He was the only one to help me with my tennis elbow problem. Highly recommended! Very friendly environment and staff!

Dana

Both my husband and I regulary see Dr.B at the Downtown Wellness centrea and we could not be happier . Dr. B is the best Chiropratiction we have been lucky enough to find. The service here is amazing, freindly and always helpful. It's a pleasure to be in the office; you will find lots warmth, smiles and genuine good people here. We have also taken advantage of the massage therepy and nauturopath services and found them to be equally helpful and rewarding. With out a doubt the best team in town!

Brigitte Malana

Dr. Badyal is the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to!! He is very kind, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He uses a variety of techniques to help treat patients such as heat therapy, electric muscle stimulation and manual therapy/manipulation. Dr. Badyal has helped me recover from minor whiplash, surgery and lower back pain. My overall health has seriously improved since I started seeing him for chiropractic care. Also, Dr. Badyal’s receptionist, Bruce, is awesome. Would highly recommend!! :)

Brian Zabierek

Ram was able to educate me on the problems i have had with my back for quite some time now. I have been in a couple MVA's in the past couple years, attending physio for treatment, acupuncture, active rehab but none were able to provide me with the knowledge Ram did. I can confidently say my back is already feeling much better since starting chiro with Ram.

DWAYNE PEAVOY

I have been under Dr. B's care for roughly 10 years. His expertise, his hands on knowledge, his space, and his receptionist Bruce are all equally amazing and contribute to the warm and friendly space that Downtown Wellness Centre is. I am the Event Co-ordinator of the Nourish Festival in Whistler, which is a Health and Wellness stream of the Cornucopia Festival. We were lucky enough to have Dr. B speak this year in a presentation called Spinal Food: Strong backs, and it was a huge success. He presented information so clearly and so passionately and people were very inspired to begin making healthy changes to take care of their spines. We got rave reviews about his talk and we would be thrilled if he would join us year after year. Dr. B has obvious passion and knowledge about the human body that is infectious. I recommend him highly.

anoosheh bazzazan

Three years ago I had chronic back pain for months ,after two visit of Dr.Badyal,with his treatment and his advices ,my pain starting to disappear ,He is very professional and his office is the best in Vancouver. I still go there any time that I have pain ,and after first visit I come out the office with no pain .

Andreas Jukic

Been going to Raminder almost every 2 weeks now for the last 2 years. Raminder has really helped me with my slouching and my posture has definitely improved. He is super down to earth and explained everything from the get go in easy to understand terms. I have less back pain and feel more comfortable sitting or standing for longer periods of time. I used to be a residential garbage man working on the back of the trucks and manually lifting garbage. It wore my body down quite a bit. The chiropractic care has definitely helped however!

Samantha Craddock

I've seen Dr. Badyal for the last couple of years and he is the most amazing Chiropractor! He doesn't treat his patients as a number or an anonymous face; each individual is remembered and recognized for their personal needs. You're not simply treated for the symptom of pain, Dr. Badyal provides a short-term and long-term plan for recovery and personal improvement; the solution is not a temporary one, each session is a step towards optimizing your health and getting your body to the best it can be. He takes your emotional and mental well-being into account, he is one of the most compassionate, professional, and hard-working health care practitioners I have ever encountered. I would advise anyone and everyone to go see Dr. Badyal if they want the best Chiropractor in Vancouver. The office itself is central and convenient, as well as warm and welcoming! All of the staff in the Downtown Wellness Centre are knowledgeable as well as helpful.

erabify

Have been using Dr Badyal for years and he is always helpful with all my ailments. He always has the right solutions for the pain that I'm in. I have never had a problem booking or rebooking when needed and Bruce is always a welcoming part of each appointment.

Sue B

Dr. Badyal is a talented, informed, kind, and pro-active clinician. I initially walked into his office with many concerns, questions, and of course, my complaint of pain (which was limiting my passions of cycling, running, swimming, hiking, skate-skiing, etc). I left with relief, but more importantly with a sustainable plan for recovery. In his words, he does 49% of the work, and I would need to do the remaining 51%. I'm happy to say that I'm back to doing the physical activities I love, and I have a better understanding, and plan of what I need to do to stay injury-free in the years to come.

Victoria C

Warm and personable clinic that will care for you in a thorough and professional manner. Dr. Badyal has a seriously amazing machine that is able to work out the most difficult and tightest of muscles allowing you to leave feeling relaxed and have more motility. Be prepared, you may need a nap after. Also, they will always try to accommodate an emergency if you throw your back out! Bonus is having a smile and a giggle with Bruce who runs the show!

andrew devenney

Fantastic and super knowledgable Service, helped me recover what feels like Permanently from what I though was long term back damage!

Prabjit Singh

Dr. Badyal has been instrumental in getting my posture and my back in shape. I can say with confidence that I'm 75% recovered with the techniques ,exercises and treatment given to me by Dr. Raminder Badyal in just 3 months. The Dr. has also taught me exercises which I do at home daily.His office staff especially Bruce is always a pleasure to deal with. Their premises is very clean with right covid precautions. I'm fortunate to find him through Google search as they say getting a good chiro is not easy. Cheers, Pierre/Prabjit

Aneil Basi

Raminder was a great help to me. He assisted me with getting the proper orthotics for my feet as I experienced planter fasciitis and slightly flat feet. I have now been back and gotten an adjusted third pair as my feet have shown drastic improvement. I use them for work, while playing sports or just casual walking around. Raminder has shown great customer service and this is proven through his ability to connect with all his clients on a professional level.

Roxana Milena

I came in to see Dr. Badyal for severe upper back pain and after my 1st session I was able to feel the difference. Now after my 8th session I've seen noticeable positive results. My back pain has subsided and he's helped me improve my posture tremendously. I strongly recommend. They are also very warm and professional and the office is always nice and clean.

Sunny B

Over the past 15 years I have seen Dr. Badyal for many of my sports injuries and I have made GREAT improvements with his care. He's more than just a Chiropractor for your neck or back...I feel he's very knowledgable, and professional at what he does and for anyone looking to improve your overall health condition I would definitely recommend Dr.Badyal to others and give him two thumbs up!

Marc

Dr. Badyal is a pain relief expert that delivers compassionate care. Great office staff. I was in severe pain the morning after Christmas and Dr. Badyal was able to see me even though his office was closed (in the office installing equipment). I arrived barely walking and left a bit better with a plan to come back the following day. In between visits I performed Dr. Badyal's prescribed regimen of icing and stretching. The Doctor's predictions for progress were right on and gave me confidence. Saw Dr. Badyal the following day for the second and final time and ever since I have kept following the regimen prescribed and have not been better in many months. Thank You Dr. Badyal.

Amarjeet Atwal

Dr. Badyal is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. I had a strained muscle, hip flexor pain and he was able to help with his expertise and I was able to gain my strength and walk again without pain. His technique and consistency was amazing. Dr. Badyal and his Staff are very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend Dr.Badyal, he knew exactly what to do. Excellent job, very pleased with the results.

Sukhi Kainth

I struggled with foot pain for most of my life. I never actually got it checked out and thought it was just natural to be experiencing that sort of discomfort. After speaking to several friends I was referred over to Dr. Badyal. I could not be more thankful to him. He literally changed my life. He sat down with me for about half an hour and thoroughly walked me through what was going on. He then put me through several tests and was able to order me a two different sets of orthotics for my shoes. One of my trainer and one for my dress shoes. I could not have been more amazed and astonished by the difference they have brought to my everyday life. Typically an hour into a work day, or even being out at the mall with my family, my feet would start aching. After utilizing the orthotics, I can go on for hours without feeling a thing. Thank you Dr. Badyal. And a special thanks to Bruce for taking care of all the insurance paperwork. Dealing with you was a breeze!

James Unthank

Punctual, professional, knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, affordable... the list goes on. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars

Darrin D

Prior to my visits, I was losing hope with my lower back pain. I was out of the gym for months. The tables turned however. Dr. B immediately knew what to do and was a total professional. I am back feeling better than ever. A++

Damien Lowry

The best practitioner in the Province, An understanding and ability to treat chronic inflammation and pain and get results. He has treated me for countless injuries. I happily fly in from out of town for treatment. He and Bruce are an all star team in this business.

Hilda SotoV

My experience with Dr. Badyal has been legendary. He is extremely professional and has fixed every injury I have came with, specially my back that was the main problem. Besides that his staff is always accommodating and courteous (Thank you Bruce). As my line of work is very physical, I have required Dr. B services in several occasions and I can only tell that my body feels great. I have highly recommended Dr. B with my friends, family and co-workers. If you are still thinking about it do not hesitate to visit Dr. B. Thank you Dr. B HVS

Marissa Solomita

Amazing Chiro! Best choice in town! Dr. Raminder and Bruce are outstanding, highly recommend!

Niall Keller

Rushes around and spends 5 mins with you doing corrections and the rest leaves you on your own hooked up to a machine. Then tells you to come back in two weeks. Recommended I get custom orthotics when other professionals said I don’t need them.

Chloe Tran

One of the best Doctor in Town! Highly recommended. Love all the staff at their downtown location!

Rajveer S Dharnia

This guy is amazing, dedicated and committed to get you back on track as soon as possible.

Lin Cheah

Very friendly environment and Dr. Badyal actually cares about the patient.

Jas Dhaliwal

Comfortable! Great people.

Nathalie Reyes

I've been visiting Dr. Badyal for about a month, and within 3-4 sessions he fixed a year worth of chronic pain. I had very minimum physical activity due to my pain, and now thanks to Dr. Badyal, I'm capable of doing what I loved most; exercising. Dr. Badyal gave me the treatment, information and solution that other doctors couldn't. I'm absolutely impressed with Dr. Badyal work and his staff and would recommend him to anybody considering a Chiropractor.

Randy S

I saw Dr. Badyal the other day complaining about pain between my shoulder blades. I thought just a quick "crack" and I would be good to go. Dr. Badyal explained that the problem was not my spine or bones, it was the tension in the muscles between my shoulder blades. I spend a lot of time on the keyboard and water skiing, so I put a lot of stress on those muscles. He attached some electrodes from a small machine to those muscles and within minutes, I felt much better. I highly recommend Dr. Badyal. He knows what he is talking about and cares about your health. Randy

Omar Adamu

Good Dr and very friendly

Luca Castaldi

Great experience. Very friendly staff. Had back problems for over a year and they were able to fix me up in less than 2 weeks. Would recommend to anyone looking for chiro help in vancouver.

Gurinder Garcha

Dr. Badyal has been a tremendous help over the past few months! I went to see him with lower back pain that was making normal movements very difficult, within a couple visits I was walking normally and back to living life without any back pain. Office staff is very welcoming, Bruce always takes the time to keep everything clean and sanitized and the appointment process is very easy going. I highly recommend anyone in search of a chiropractor to give Downtown Wellness Centre a call, they will take care of you.

Les Sakal

I've been seeing Dr. Badyal for several years now, on a regular basis. I saw him at first for extremely debilitating sciatica, at the advice from a co-worker who had been going to him. I tried acupuncture, massage therapy, physio and nothing worked. The pain was 24/7 and everything was brutal including sleeping, which I did on my living room floor with my legs on my coffee table. Dr. Badyal said if I tried one or two treatments and I didn't feel results, I wouldn't have to see him anymore. It was a nightmare to get on the table for the treatment, but after the first treatment I was about 75% better! If you have sciatica or any other debilitating condition, Dr. Badyal is the MUST SEE chiro!! I can't say enough great things about him! Thanks Dr. Badyal!!

Timur Shuvaloff

Great experience all around. From the moment you walk in, the Office Manager, Bruce, makes you feel welcome and at ease. Dr. Badyal is very knowledgeable in his field, and works towards solving your issues right away. He provides valuable information to promote your own recovery at home, as well as provides you a window for recovery. There's no gimmicks; these guys solve your issue as immediately as they can. I've gone to Dr.Badyal for numerous sports injuries already, and he's reduced my recovery time substantially, each and every time. Highly recommended.

Lisa

For years I heard my sister rave about her Chiropractor and after a MVA I went to see Dr. B. I received an exceptionally high level of treatment care and support through all the physical and emotional aspects of pain management and recovery. I am continuing see Dr. B for maintenance and I truly look forward to these appts! Bruce at the Front Desk does an outstanding job at managing all of his duties while still being present with me and after the appt I always leave with a brighter outlook on things. I’m tremendously grateful for both of their work and the care they have provided for myself and my sister.

Beverlie Jansen

I love going to the DW Center .. the people are always welcoming and positive. My concerns are addressed, questions answered, suggestions for healing given, and the most wonderful chiropractic treatment around. I always leave feeling better than when I got there, ready for the days to come.

Louise Lea

I am convinced that if people who are skeptical about chiropractic care were to get an adjustment by Dr. Badyal they would quickly change their mind (plus feel a lot better). I've been under his care for over 5 years and could not recommend him more highly or more often. Great location with the deft & caring Dr. B, ever-affable Bruce out front, and numerous other friendly professionals. No more jarring, banging "drop" tables!

Sameer Jamal

Dr. B was great. I had back pain and within 3 sessions he fixed the problem. He was able to give me some stretches and exercises that have kept me pain free. The office was very professional and he was able to explain what was happening in very simple terms. I would recommend his office to anyone i knew!

ric b

Raveen Singh

I once was told a story. A helicopter mechanic was standing there, holding a bolt and surmising. A manager asked him what he was doing. The mechanic said, "you know, it’s a $ 2.50 bolt, but it’s worth a million dollars to know where it is supposed to go". Chiropractors are a dime a dozen, and I know this from experience. The majority of them (in my experience) rotate you are around, crack your bones and send you on the way with little regards to the actual problem. I find that the majority of them are quite dismissive, rotating their patients in an effort to maximize charge outs rather than practice a profession. This changed with Dr. Badyal. The personal touch of hearing about the problem, asking a few pertinent questions and then addressing the individual needs is a delight, and is very effective. I found that the relaxed atmosphere, and the explanations and instructions are clear, concise and easy to follow, even for a chimpanzee brain like mine. And the genuine concern for the well-being of the patient is something that I, in my experience with chiropractors, have rarely seen. The majority of Chiros focus on spinal cord adjustments and apply routine adjustments in a very mechanical way without specificity. I found that Dr. Badyal was careful to address the musco-skeletal problem, and explains that the muscles work in tandem with the skeleton to create the result, and to remedy the situation, one has to address both of the issues. This leaves you with a solution, not just a routine adjustment. And that is the difference between simple health care, and a long term solution. And Dr. Badyal will know not only what the bolt will do, but where it goes. And that’s priceless.

Christie Fitzpatrick

My appointment started on time and Dr. Raminder Badyal was very friendly and informative. My adjustment helped to relieve my neck pain and I left with a treatment plan to help reduce inflammation. The administrative assistant at the front desk (Bruce) had a great attitude and was very personable. Overall, I had a great experience.

Reed Harris

I went in with chronic and severe pain in my gluteus muscles. Over a period of 4 or 5 months, Dr. Badyal straightened what needed it, reducing the pain each session, and taught me about exercises and better posture. When the pain comes back now, I know it is from the posture I'm in while walking and I can now reduce the pain to nothing, on my own, by correcting the posture. I also appreciate that I get an emailed reminder on the day before my next appointment...the receptionist, Bruce, is delightful. I heartily recommend Dr. Badyal as a chiropractor.

Lucy Swib

I went to see Dr. Badyal as a new patient to address what had become a chronic issue with my shoulder. Dr. Badyal very quickly diagnosed the problem and initiated an effective treatment program that resolved the pain and stiffness I had been experiencing in relatively short order. Dr. Badyal was always efficient, prompt, respectful and friendly. I also very much appreciated Bruce's kind welcome and professionalism at the front desk. Overall, I was very pleased with my overall experience and results.

Linda Leese

I was in severe pain for months with Planter Fasciitis. I could hardly walk. Dr. Badyal fitted me for orthotics and provided treatment suggestions and the best shoes to buy. Changed my life within a month. Thank you Dr. Badyal.

Ronald BERTRAM

I have been a patient of Dr, Badyal since his office opened. He is very professional and capable. I can recommend his treatment without reservation. I have referred several friends over the years to him. He is concerned with making sure that the patient receives the best treatment available.

Coleson Luterbach

Dr. Badyal is fantastic. The first visit we went over what was causing my symptoms and then worked on the issue. He gave me some homework in the form of light stretches and I came back the next day for more treatment. I have been going there less and less frequently as I am experiencing less and less symptoms, but I will definitely continue visiting him in the future!

Monsieur Sanyshyn

Dr Badyal really know his craft!

Anthony Dearden

I visited the Downtown Wellness Centre for lower back and knee pain, after mixed results from my physio. Dr Badyal quickly identified the underlying cause and within a few weeks I had shown amazing improvement. More importantly I now know how to address the issues in future. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Badyal and Bruce the fantastic receptionist.

Tony E

Dr. Badyal is fantastic. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and professional Chiropractor within the Downtown area.

Ter Coop

Dr. Badyal's acute knowledge of kinesiology made it possible for me to continue my recreational and competitive pursuits in weightlifting. Terry C.

Balwant Sumra

The service, care and attention provided by Dr. Badyal and the Downtown Wellness Centre is unparalleled. Whenever I feel any sort of stiffness and/or soreness Dr. Badyal is the first person that comes to mind as someone who can help me get better. My experience is always a positive one at the Downtown Wellness Clinic. Dr. Badyal's expertise and knowledge had been very valuable for me to continue being active and feeling comfortable.

roger s

In August 2014, after suffering for a week with back pain I looked on the internet for a nearby chiropractor and found Dr. B. Well... I totally lucked out! Not only did he agree to see me that same day (he fit me in at the end of a busy Friday) but he has done wonders for my back. The Wellness center is excellent. Professional and friendly. Again, I feel very lucky to have found Dr. B (and Bruce!)

Paul Anaka

very professional - best guy in town by far!
