Natural Solutions Acupuncture Inc.

Mike is the real deal. In April 2014 I had anterior talofibular ligament reconstructive surgery and had a rough recovery. After a year in PT with continued swelling and very little activity I went on Unilocal to find an acupuncturist, and found Mike. In the first appointment he diagnosed me with poor blood circulation by looking at my tongue and my pulse. He put my on a daily regimen of herbal supplements, of which the formula got stronger as my rehab continued. I saw him twice a month, and he would use dry needling, acupuncture, heat lamps, moxa, ART and Graston to help get the blood flowing in my body. I also had digestion problems, which he addressed in the herbs and the acupuncture. He also sent me home with my own moxa stick to further enhance blood flow in between sessions. I received treatment from Mike for my ankle for about 6 months (I averaged about 2 visits per month). It takes time to build healthy circulating red blood. He is all about getting you healthy again — recovery, not maintenance.
I wish I have before and after pictures of my ankle. Before it was swollen and purple. Now it looks fairly normal and feels great. Now I am doing calisthenics for 30 min 3 times a week, and walking 10,000+ steps 3 – 4 days a week. I wear compression socks everyday, which help, but I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for Mike. I’ve had some problems with the soft tissue and muscles in my calves since starting up activity again last year and Mike diagnosed some imbalances and suggested corrective exercises to do at home. Anytime I have a problem I think Mike can help with, he will be first on my call list.

Michael’s expertise with orthopedic acupuncture and ART is unmatched. During my career as a professional triathlete I have experienced a wide array of treatment from physical therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists. But I must say that the treatment I received at Natural Solutions Acupuncture far exceeded anything I have previously encountered. After a sudden flare up of my ITB, I was extremely impressed with Michael’s ability to correct the issue in one quick visit. Furthermore, his attentiveness and flexibility with scheduling allowed for a much faster rebound than I expected. I will definitely be returning for tune ups and any issue that arise in the future.

All the other reviews are absolutely correct … Pain that I have lived with for 20 years is all but a memory. I go see him 2 or 3 times a year or whenever I have something new cause me pain and it is usually fixed with 1 or 2 visits.

Michael Woodworth is the most skilled and knowledgeable natural practitioner I have met so far. Combining various modalities — specifically orthopedic acupuncture, ART and Graston, in combination with several exercises available on his website — he has given me noticeable relief from long-​standing myofascial problems, some going back more than 50 years, after just five weekly visits. (We still have work to do, but we’ve made a good start at addressing these complaints.)
Although he is technically superior to any practitioner I have met so far, more importantly he is passionate about what he does, and this is the magic ingredient that separates an authentic healer from one who only looks at his practice as a profession and a way to earn a living.
In conclusion, I highly recommend anyone with any health issue to check out Michael’s approach to health care.

Michael has taken are of me since my catastrophic horse accident in June 2011 when I shattered L2 and broke L5. After fusion I was told I would always have pain and limitations. Not so! What I love is Michael listens and treats each patient individually. I live a very active lifestyle and my regular maintenance appointments allow me to live a pain free active healthy life.

True healers are hard to come by. Michael has a comprehensive and unique holistic approach to health, that very few health practitioners do. I make it a point to visit him whenever I’m in SoCal. I highly recommend Michael and his services.

I’ve been treated by Michael on 20+ occasions over a 4 year period and have always been care for expertly. What’s important to me and where he excels is:
ease of scheduling, promptness (or communicate otherwise), listening, asking questions, sharing technique and education during the session and most important-​providing feedback so as to alleviate the core issues. He’s a whiz @ body physiology and sharing his deep knowledge. Oh, and he’s FUN to be around! I’ll go back and recommend you do to…

I moved here from Maryland where amazingly I had a separate person for acupuncture, active release, and herbal supplements. Michael combines all 3 to heal in any way possible. I had a strange shoulder injury which he patiently evaluated over weeks until he figured out what was wrong and worked on it, giving me many exercises in the process which have made things much easier in other athletic endeavors as well. Meanwhile he helped with new supplements as well.
He is truly heaven sent. And to top it all off he works with my health insurance, I’d pay full price for him but $ 20/​visit is even better.

To start off I am 30 years old and was in a car accident last March which brought me to Michael! I had other underlying issues I will discuss below! My mom broke her back anr had major spinal fusion surgery! She was told she would feel pain for the rest of her life and never have full mobility again! She is in her mid fifties and I am so happy to say because of Micahel she surfs, horseback rides, lifts my nephew and is very physically active with no pain! She always talked about him, but I was skeptical! I thought I needed shoulder surgery!
Issues that have been eliminated while seeing Micahel:
1. I used to suffer greatly from monthly pms, cramps, mood swings, hormone fluctuations, horrible throwing up! Now I have no symptoms where as before I would be debilitated
2. My shoulders hurt all the time any time! As I played a lot of sports for a long time, school, life my job are all physical! My right shoulder hurt so bad I would be in tears often and nothing alleviated the pain! Now after about 4 visits I don’t feel a thing but sweet relief on both sides
3. My knee was constantly hurting when I sat down after my car accident! He worked and worked and now I also feel no pain! He also figured out it was my back causing my knee pain!
4. I have had a lot of emotional experiences some in which I just haven’t dealt with! A few times I have cried in Michaels office and never been made to feel weird! In fact he calmed me down and explained what was happening!!! I take herbs that totally have helped with emotional discomfort, depression and just overall made me feel at ease
Overall all the advice and exercises he has given me have helped me so much and will continue to help me through my entire life! I am so grateful for him! My family also goes to him and we all love him!
Lastly, he is so caring and kind and you just can’t help be in a good mood around him! I have been open and honest with him about certain life choices and he never makes you feel bad rather offers you words of encouragement and information on better options!
Every week I look forward to going to see him! He has improved my entire quality of life!!! So glad to do this young so I can live a long pain freer life!!!

Michael is great. I’ve been seeing him for various sports related injuries since 2012. As a competitive athlete I’m always pushing my body past it’s limit. Natural Solutions has kept me going through all the aches and pains through a combination of ART, Acupuncture, and herbal therapy. Specifically, I’ve seen great results for lower back, IT band, and shoulder related problems.

Michael is heaven sent. Thank goodness for natural healers like him. More than worth it

Dr. Michael Woodworth is a Godsent. My family and I recommend him to everyone we know because the results have been phenomenal.
