I have been seeing Michael for the past few months to deal with a few disc issues in my neck and back. I have always been very hesitant to try acupuncture, as needles freak me out. Not only is there no reason to be afraid, Michael has helped me tremendously with both my pain level and stiffness. More so, his focus is on long term wellness, not just keeping his client base. After five years of pills, cortisone shots and weekly therapy, I am finally on a real path to neck and back health. I would recommend Michael Lay to anyon... read more

I work as a professional dance teacher and tore my hip flexor. Michael was able to bring me relief and full range of motion in just three treatments. My dancing shoes are back on thanks to him!!! He's the best.

Great! – 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 th... read more

A refreshing experience! – I was referred to this office by a friend of mine who has been getting acupuncture for years at this same location. I have been medicated for anxiety since I was a child, on and off different medications and nothing ever helped. After my second treatment, I threw away my anti-anxiety medication. I learned that after I've already experienced an anxiety attack, it's already too late to pop a pill. The anxiety attack has already happened! So Michael is treating me for my anxiety before the attacks eve... read more

Superior Care – I have always been an advocate of acupuncture. It has served me well for recovering from back surgery and a bout with migrane headaches years ago. It has something that I have felt has been beneficial for pain management but also for mental maintenance. Quite honestly, it has always been something I have enjoyed how I felt during and after the treatment. Even though most of my life, I was notoriously scared of needles. Uptown Acupuncture was presented to me in the form of a "list" of providers from my health ... read more

Awesomeness incarnate! – I really wish I could post this review in a place that the entire world could see it, well OK, perhaps just all of the U.S. I am 37 years old and have suffered from chronic lower back pain since I was 24 years old. Degenerative disk disease, to be specific. Since my first diagnosis in the late 90's I have tried all sorts of physical therapists, personal trainers, pain medications - both prescription and over the counter, cortisone injections, and radio-frequency ablation. All of these various treatme... read more

Pain free after two sessions – Prior to my first session with Michael I had a headache for three days and constant pain in my back, shoulders, and neck. After just two sessions I was astonished that my back and shoulder pain had ceased completely. I have seen chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, rheumatologists, and have a prescription for muscle relaxants but the effects never lasted more than a couple days if they even gave me relief at all. Michael is extremely thorough and asks you questions about issues yo... read more

Great Place for Acupuncture – I was also referred to Michael by a close friend. I decided to try acupuncture because of major issues with chronic nausea. After going through multiple tests and various medications, I chose to explore a different route. I have had great results with Michael! I've been having significantly less nausea problems since I started (I've been going about 3 months now). Michael has been extremely helpful along the way and has done a good job of explaining acupuncture and its benefits. I would definite... read more

Very Knowledgeable and Caring – I found Michael's practice online when I was diagnosed with a severely herniated disc at the C6-C7 level. In the first few treatments, Michael helped me reduce the swelling in the back of my head and also radically reduced the tingling in my fingers. He blends his knowledge of orthopedic care with his expertise in acupuncture so that you truly get the best of both worlds. And an added bonus is that he is extremely patient-centered and truly cares about helping his patients. I'd recommend Micha... read more
