Prior to seeing Michael I had seen two Orthopedic Specialists and my Primary Care doctor after experiencing severe pain in my back. First the doctors prescribed large quantities of Narcotics and Muscle relaxers, which offered short term relief but as soon as the meds wore off I was back to the same problem. The Doctors also tried injections which again, offered short term relief but nothing lasting. After six months of pain and a final diagnosis that my spinal column was narrow so I would likely have to deal with the pain or forego doing any physical activity I decided to give Acupuncture a try. After two appointments with Michael I started feeling relief. Today I am pain free and have returned to my active lifestyle. I still go back once every month or so which seems to have kept the pain at bay.
