Report
Our son was always a great sleeper (hes currently 6 months old), but about 1 month ago, suddenly wouldn't sleep, he'd be screaming in agony and in pain.Today, we couldn't wait any longer to see if it will pass, we took our baby to Mick's, Mick got to know him, listened to the story, felt baby boys spine, and gently helped realign him. Tonight, our son has gone to sleep for the first time without any pain or struggles...he was relieved and happy to finally get some much needed sleep...it was an instant relief. Wow! (We are stoked and so relieved too!!!) Thanks so much, Mick!!!

I had tried Physiotherapy, Chiropractic & Acupuncture all separately with limited relief for a bulging disc in my lower back and shoulder pain prior to seeing Michael at Back2life. Michael was able to relieve my symptoms using a combination of the techniques and is now working on correcting other ailments. Thank You.

Mick has been my chiro for many many years - he's helped to keep me in tune as well as fix me when I get out of alignment. His holistic approach to spinal care is to be commended. 5 stars Mick!
