Dr. Michael’s passion is in treating chronic pain and getting patients back to a pain-free lifestyle. With his own history of a severe back condition and chronic back pain, Dr. Michael is all too familiar with the damage chronic pain can do to one’s physical and mental health. By first identifying the root cause of dysfunction, Dr. Michael focuses on aiding the body’s inherent self-healing abilities through the use of nutraceutical supplementation, dietary optimization, precision lab testing, prolotherapy, acupuncture, and advanced injection therapies such as trigger point therapy and therapeutic nutrient injections.

He also has a keen interest in the areas of metabolic disease, thyroid disease, hormonal health, and cardiovascular health.
