Dr. Michael Woodworth has been a lifesaver for me in the past year. As a brazilian jiu-jitsu athlete I experience a lot of daily aches and pains but one particular chronic bulging disc issue in my neck has been giving me problems for a few years. For the first 3 years of this problem I had sought treatments with chiropractors and massage therapists. The healing was slow going and the appointments costs piled up. I spent a lot of unnecessary money with chiropractors.
I met Michael on the mats at my jiu jitsu gym and he invited me to come by his clinic for a treatment. I've been to other community acupuncturists and my expectations were not very high. Michael's methodology was unlike anything I've experienced. His unique combination of electric-stim dry needling, A.R.T., and cervical neck traction was life changing. I experienced results faster than any treatments I had received elsewhere with other practitioners. Because my bulging cervical disc issue was so severe that my arm would tingle and go numb from shoulder to fingertip if I leaned my head or body forward I had to go once a week for a couple months but each and every treatment I could feel a noticeable improvement.
Again, the unique combination of electric-stim dry needling, A.R.T., and cervical neck traction is the most effective methodology I've ever experienced. I have recently moved away from the Oceanside area and am looking for another practitioner who can match Michael's expertise and care.
