Michael cured my sciatica- for no charge. He treated me for 6 months and never asked for a dime. I'd been to physicians, chiropractors, and a neurologist. None of them could touch the pain. I was in agony... in fact, I had planned how I was getting off the planet, it was that bad. I did not sleep- I passed out from exhaustion, and was awoken by agony in no more than five minutes. I couldn't stand, sit or lie down. I stopped eating, as I couldn't use the bathroom.
Michael came to my house. In one session the pain was cut in half. As I crawled (yes, crawled... it's all I could do) back into bed I felt the way I'd felt when I was given a double dose of morphine in the hospital many years before. I said to him "I feel like I been anesthetized." I had to repeat it, as I had slurred the words. He said " You have." No drugs were involved. He'd released my brain's natural endorphins.
After the second session I stood up for the first time in 6 months. In two weeks I was riding my bicycle to the office.
The doctor has since retired, at least from his office in Chico. I only wrote this because I wanted to balance out the hatefulness of the coward who signed himself "anonymous" on May 8th, 2012. If I were as vindictive as he I might wish that he never be cured, but I would not do that. I only hope Michael never saw that piece of hate mail.
I had been suffering for more than 3 decades. I have not had so much as a twinge since Michael treated me. If you've never had sciatica, get down on your knees right now and thank whatever deities you believe in. Michael saved my life.

I feel like my appointment was pointless and a complete waste of my time and money. This guy is creeepy and treats medicene like used car salesmanship-his primary concern seemed to be to find out how much money he could get from me "how much is this worth to you?". It was unprofessional, in that he and his helper (maybe his daughter) arrived with an old cardboard box and made comments like "oh, we must have left that in the garage." He provided a lot of confusing information but it seemed to be more of an advertisement on how I could have him deal with all of my medical issues if I could commit to paying thousands of dollars. Nothing was accomplished, and I felt worse when I left. It was pretty hard to find the building, as he does not have an actual office and did not explain it is a rented space in a health club. I would never visit them again, although it made for an amusing story to tell people. I have a lot of education and am pretty assertive so I don't know why I didn't grab my checkbook and run like I should have. I was very freaked out and left wondering if this guy really had any credentials or I had let some nut case stick needles in my body and leave blisters on my already wounded body part. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY! I recommend checking to see if he is really trained to do anything besides scam money from people.
