Patient Testimonials
“I have had severe pain in my right hand which is all but totally alleviated. I was told by a specialist that all he could do was operate on it. This would entail at least five weeks of therapy after the cast came off. When talking to a friend at work, she suggested I go see Dr. Mike. He helped her with both of her hands and she is now pain-free to play the drums. Dr. Mike has helped me in other areas also, but the pain in my hand was the worst thing I have had and it is now almost completely gone.”

“Within four or so visits my pain was alleviated. Dr. Michael got my shoulder to a functional level in a short amount of time. I was able to avoid having a second surgery which I was intending to have.”

“I hurt my back in May 2010 training for a strongman competition. With Dr. Mike’s help I was able to keep training and compete. Active Release Therapy has changed how I am able to train and has improved how I compete. I recommend ART to any and all athletes I encounter.”

“I was originally referred to Dr. Mike through friends at CrossFit. When I hurt my back he was the first person I called. Over the course of my treatments he has really eased a lot of the pain I was feeling. He kept me working out and has helped increase my flexibility so I can stay injury-free in the future.”

“I have aggressive rheumatoid arthritis. I appreciate being heard and Dr. Mike using a scientific approach to holistic care. I have a ways to go, but am already seeing progress and improvement.”
-Rosanne
“When I first came to Dr. Mike the strain in my hamstring hurt all the time and prevented me from running more than a mile. Six weeks later after ART and Graston therapy I ran a half-marathon pain-free!”
-Laura
“I was diagnosed a year ago with tendonitis in both hands. After two rounds of steroids that didn’t seem to help, and a visit to a hand surgeon who told me that once the condition became really unbearable he would operate, I was very miserable.
Not only do I work with my hands for a living, I have an old house that requires plenty of DIY-something I really enjoy-and this problem had made it very difficult to say the least.
I found Dr. Mike after reading an article in the local Milford newspaper. I read all about ART on his website and then searched the web for more info. I wasn’t sure if he could help because my problem was chronic and had been going on for so long.
That said, I started treatments in December 2007 and it is now mid-February 2008. My hands are so much better. I have been working on projects at home for over a month that I have not dared attempt for the past year.
The pain and swelling is minimal after days of hard work, whereas before just opening the fridge or a door was very painful.
I am continuing my treatments-I want to maintain my progress and keep away from that surgeon’s office!”

“Being a highly competitive cyclist and athlete I am used to performing at a high level. That all changed when I developed a pain in my leg.
For more than 9 months I had been trying to find a treatment that would work and get my training intensity back to where it needed to be. I tried everything; chiropractic, medication, specialists and MRI- and nothing was working.
Finally I called Dr. Mike and after an initial exam he diagnosed my problem. We started acupuncture and Art immediately and within a week I was riding nearly pain free.
Dr. Mike’s treatments are the reason why I am back on the bike, racing again and feeling stronger everyday!
My only regret is that I didn’t start treatment with him sooner.”

“Thank you Dr. Mike for all your help! I am sorry I am not able to keep up with your treatment plan at the moment. I was seeing a chiropractor and signed a contract with him and I can’t get out of it. I just wanted to let you know that you helped me more in 2 visits than he did in 4 months.”

“Dear Dr. Mike,
I just wanted to let you know how much the ART therapy provided relief to my ankle pain during the final 6 weeks of my pregnancy. The therapy alleviated the excruciating pain and increased motion/flexibility in my ankle. After only a few sessions, I gained independence from the orthopedic immobilizer. I cannot thank you enough! My daughter, Sophia Claire was born 5 days late on April 17, 2009 at 1:35 pm, weighing six pounds, twelve ounces, and 20 ¼” long. She’s beautiful, we feel very blessed.
I truly feel the ART therapy healed my ankle, allowing me to enjoy the warm spring weather, and take my baby for walks down the beach-something so important to me. Thanks again and all the best!”
