BNS is often a life-changing treatment for many patients, especially those experiencing the effects of concussions, chronic nasal obstruction, recurrent headaches, sinus issues, cranial nerve problems, postural challenges, or mental or physical disabilities. Dr. Saine learned to practice BNS in 1981 from Dr. Richard Stober of Portland, Oregon, who was the recognized expert in this method.
“Almost everyone would benefit from BNS. Patients will be just appalled. And they will ask you, ‘Why didn’t someone do this for me years ago?’ And almost every patient will refer someone to receive this life-changing, mind-bending little treatment.” Dr. Richard Stober, while addressing students in class in 1980.
