Testimonial from Dr. Smeeta Desai-Ranchod (February, 2024)

“Dr. Naran’s course gave me a coherent method to manage shoulder pain, back pain, severe headache, and many other complaints which, I confess with chagrin, I might have treated with Tylenol or an NSAID in years past, or just delegated to physio. I am now showing my medical students how surprisingly effective Trigger Point Therapy can be. I believe firmly that instruction in this technique should start in year one of medical school.”

"As a healthcare provider, I never fully understood the crippling nature of chronic pain until I experienced it myself. My recovery took a remarkable turn when I received TPI therapy.

Dr. Naran's TPI course is a must for any healthcare professional licensed to perform injections. The simplicity, safety, and effectiveness of TPI injections make them an invaluable skill in any NP, ND, or family medicine practice. The most rewarding part is seeing patients experience immediate relief — it is incredibly fulfilling.

What I especially appreciated about this course was the small-group setting, which allowed for ample hands-on practice. Dr. Naran's personable and easygoing teaching style made the experience both enjoyable and engaging. The course is held over two weekends, with separate modules for the upper and lower body, which makes mastering the techniques much easier.

This course is all about practical application, ensuring you leave with the confidence to use these techniques with your patients right away. The ongoing post-course support is invaluable, and having access to Dr. Naran's 15 years of expertise is an incredible opportunity. Take the course — you and your patients will be glad you did."

"This TPI course that I attended was very well organized and comprehensive. I appreciate Dr. Naran and Gabi for arranging such a wonderful learning experience. The study articles were well thought out. The best part of the course was the practical, hands-on learning and practice, without which the course would not be complete. I am now implementing it at my practice. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested."

"My name is Dr. Savaya Savaya, a family physician based in Windsor, Ontario. Many of my patients live with chronic pain, including trigger point–related pain, and I was eager to deepen my understanding of how to assess and treat these conditions effectively. Because of Dr. Naran’s outstanding reputation, I traveled all the way to Vancouver to attend the Trigger Point Injection Course that he offers. His clinic in North Vancouver is renowned for its specialized treatments for muscular pain. Dr. Naran is not only a skilled clinician but also an exceptional educator. He explained the procedures with clarity and patience, making complex material easy to understand and apply. His passion for advancing pain management and sharing his expertise is truly remarkable. The course was beneficial for me, and I am feeling more confident and better equipped to help my patients manage their chronic pain through trigger point therapy."

"The course is thorough, fun, and most importantly, very practical. Dr. Naran made sure to include plenty of practice time so you feel confident before leaving the course and performing your first injections. The theory was necessary but well broken down and straightforward, helping to back up the practice and make injections more precise. I have since incorporated trigger point injections into my practice, and patients have given me very positive feedback. It has helped to broaden my practice and billing."

"Dr. Naran’s teaching has completely changed the way I approach chronic pain management. He provided safe, effective, and practical techniques that have made a real difference for my patients, especially those who had lost hope in finding relief. With his guidance, I now feel much more confident in treating chronic pain, and I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my patients’ quality of life. I am prescribing less medication, my patients are happier, and I feel better equipped as a physician. Dr. Naran’s kindness and patience made the learning experience invaluable, and I would strongly recommend this course to any GP who wants to better support patients with chronic pain in the community. Thank you, Dr. Naran!"

"I felt that the course was a terrific learning opportunity for me, and that I was able to learn TPIs in a practical and comprehensive manner. I particularly enjoyed the hands-on experience that Dr. Naran provided, and feel both safe and confident to perform TPIs after the course."

- Dr. Anjuli Chehil

"The course was very practical. Gabi, being there as a model patient was the most valuable experience for me. Dr. Naran’s teaching skills were exceptional. The course reminded me of the real locations of those muscles, especially each rotator cuff muscle, after many years post medical school. I started immediately the next day after training because I knew I was ready after the excellent hands on teaching. I have been getting many positive feedbacks from most patients, including patients who had chronic pain for years and are finally pain free right after 2 to 3 sessions. Hopefully, the effect of the treatment lasts long. That is the only hope I have right now."
