He provided great video therapy exercises on his website along with your treatment as homework, so when he is with you in your following visits, he can see your progress. He has your best interest at heart, and is very kind and generous. I highly recommend him!

I am a nurse and I suffered as severe spine injury in 2015. … Mike is extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. …

Michael called me back directly over the weekend to explain how their treatment differs from the siloed treatment many are familiar with – having to go to different providers for PT, chiro, acupuncture, massage. He did a very thorough initial orthopedic intake to identify my pain point and also how we can break up scar tissue in sessions along with at-home foundational movement exercises to do. … I really appreciate the time he takes to understand the issues you’re having – and am excited to continue to work with the team at Makari.

Mike is fantastic. Not just an expert in his field, but incredibly knowledgeable and cares for his patients and the pain they’re in. His techniques are not invasive, but for muscle tension it can be painful. I have had years of chronic upper back, neck, and lat pain from what I do for a living. I had resorted to just bearing with it, unmedicated, and using a roller and lacrosse ball for tension points. I still do those techniques BUT for for the first time in years I’m not in pain every day. I highly suggest him and his skills. … My husband and I both go to him for pain management and will continue.

He’s extremely knowledgeable and proficient in multiple healing disciplines like ART and acupuncture. Can’t recommend this place enough!!

I truly cannot recommend [Michael Woodworth] enough! I’m very active and do CrossFit regularly, but after an overtraining injury, I developed severe neck and upper back pain. I spent 8 weeks in physical therapy, only to progressively get worse. By the time I found [Michael], I was in so much pain I could barely turn my head. I was frustrated, miserable, and honestly starting to feel hopeless. … [Michael] took the time to understand what was going on, and his treatments provided more relief than anything else I had tried. The improvement in my pain, mobility, and overall quality of life has been incredible. … What I appreciate most is that he doesn’t just focus on getting you out of pain temporarily. Now that I’m doing so much better, I continue to see him for maintenance, and he’s helping me develop an at-home routine, including cervical traction, to prevent future flare-ups and keep me active long-term. … He’s incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely invested in his patients’ well-being. I’m so grateful I found him and only wish I had gone to him sooner!

I can't thank Makari Wellness enough. It's hard to remember when was the last time I felt this good. … Michael has helped me greatly. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome with hypermobility, with many co-morbidities. It's been a challenge for both of us, but he knows what he's doing, he's constantly learning and trying different things until he finds what works. He's fascinated by difficult cases, … I'm still a work in progress, and will probably be, but with proper treatment and guidance, I can have the closest to a normal life.

Michael cares about us the patient and his goal is to get us well soon so there is no need to see him again, unless a future problem occurs. What a refreshing change from most who want you to continue to come back for a long, long time.

Michael is so knowledgeable. He gets to the source of the problem to fix the symptoms. I have sent my best friends to him, my mom, and my husband. I just can’t say enough good about him. … He’s got a heart of gold.

On my way to wellness with [Michael] on my side! Felt heard and validated. So thankful I dug myself out enough to find him.

I don't typically write reviews but my experience with Mike has been great so here is my experience thus far. … Mike looked at my injury from a wholistic approach. He understood that my injury at my L3/L4 and L4/L4 was causing me to compensate and tighten my thoracic spine, my hips, and my shoulders. … He used dry needling to loosen the muscles and once loosened he applies active release techniques and hip blocking to create space within the joints. He also gives you homework, which I highly recommend you follow. … Mike is a true professional and a straight shooter. I can't recommend him enough.

I now want to work on my digestion which has been an ongoing problem for 7 yrs. after a number of abdominal surgeries and Michael is now treating me for that and I am constantly amazed at his concern for patients financial status … I have never believed in a provider like I do him. If you want true compassion and tenacity Natural Solutions is the place to go.

… He is a master of many disciplines and knows exactly what to do. I am 75 years old and have never met anyone like him. … Plus, he loves what he is doing. On my first visit he told me that if he didn't have the tools to fix my condition, he would find and learn one that did. I cried because I knew he meant what he said. I feel very lucky to have found him.

I was very skeptical of someone sticking needles in me. My physical therapist recommended Michael. I have(had) severe neck and back pain. … I have moved to Prescott,AZ. Sure miss him.

I suffered from migraine headaches (seeing light spots and all) and neck issues for over 20 years. … I train very rigorously for obstacle course racing, and I am able to do so, with out any limitations or issues with my neck. I highly recommend Natural Solutions!

i was looking for someone who did dry needling...which Michael does...and a couple other very successful techniques..ART and Graston … Michael is extremely knowledgeable and has helped a hip problem … He truly cares and has a gift!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. … I was intimidated prior to my first visit because I don't really like doctors and I had never had any kind of physical therapy. But he came highly recommended by someone I trust so I gave him a shot. Boy was I glad I did! … If I had to say what I like most about Michael, besides his sense of humor and wining personality, it would be his desire to solve the problem rather than just treat the symptoms. … But he also works with you to fix the underlying cause so you don't have to keep coming back for pain management. That is what I like the most. … On top of that, Michael is very knowledgeable and more than willing to share that knowledge with his patients. He is very up front and explains everything he is doing and why before he does it. I would recommend Michael and Natural Solutions without hesitation.

This guy is amazing! I was in pain,numb, and had difficulties breathing and swallowing. … The only problem I have is that I didn't find him sooner!

Let me start by saying that Mike is awesome. I have had a recurring injury in my mid back for the past 10 years, and no matter what I did I couldn't seem to get rid of the pain. … So lets talk about what Mike brings to the table. He is someone who really cares about people, and genuinely wants you to feel better. He offers multiple treatment modalities which allows you to go to one office and get everything you need. … Mike is also about fixing the problem, not covering it up. Along with treating me with acupuncture and ART he looked at my movement and found that i was moving very poorly in a couple of different areas. He taught me some exercises to re-train my body how to move properly (which are extremely easy) and I was on my way to recovery. … Mike will be up front with you and say that most of the path to health is up to you. You have to do your exercises and be diligent on your own. … He will shoot you straight and let you know what he can do for you.

Michael is one-of-a-kind! I was skeptical that acupuncture would help in my recovery of a torn calf muscle and Achilles tendinitis, as I had already tried PT and massage. But his combination of acupuncture, ART, and Graston got me back on the race course, without any pain, faster than I anticipated! I am going back to have him work on a pulled muscle in my neck...can't wait!

I had pain in my foot from a neuroma. My doctor gave me a cortisone shot which did not help. He said the last resort would be surgery. I searched for other methods and found Natural Solutions. … Thank you, Michael!!

What I have always thought was especially cool from the beginning is the fact that he doesn't want to see you back repeatedly-meaning he wants to see you get better and not need his services. This is something you don't often see in other practitioners (want to schedule you for ongoing appointments long term, etc). He is also super flexible with scheduling as he has often been able to fit my boyfriend and I in last minute.
