Uptown Acupuncture

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 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.…

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 even take place. And I have been anxiety attack free since my first visit.

Michael is a very professional individual. Kind, sweet, and he educates you about the benefits of acupuncture and what it can do for you. He referred me to a few highly recommended chiropractors in the area. His office is neat and tidy, and he has done a great job of making you feel like you're walking into a day spa, not a doctor's office. The treatments I've been receiving at Michael's office, along with the chiropractic adjustments via his referral really are keeping my body in harmony, just like his business card says! I feel like a new person!

There's even a cute little puppy who sits underneath the desk in the front (you have to go out of your way to look for him because he's so quiet and well behaved) who literally looks like a teddy bear. I brought him a new toy when I came for one of my visits, and I found out that he loves presents!…

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 care. I just wanted somewhere close to where I live. I wasn’t referred by anyone in particular. However, I would recommend Michael’s care to absolutely anyone. He is professional, knowledgeable, thorough, patient and compassionate. His values your time, is punctual and that is a quality that is unfortunately not always a priority by people in the medical/caretaking profession.

I have been in a car accident where my neck just wasn’t healing. I had feeling of “but I am doing everything possible to heal” and was getting frustrated. Michael’s good work and kind encouragement helped me to get where I was pre-accident. I will continue use Uptown Acupuncture for maintenance and will always be grateful to Michael for helping me through a nasty time.

There are not enough stars in the rating system equal to how strongly I recommend Michael Lay and Uptown Acupuncture.
