As a recent transplant to Bradenton from up north, I was quite anxious to find a chiropractor as fabulous as I had before moving. After trying a gentleman in the Lakewood Ranch area with disastrous results, I was extremely hesitant to go to another. When I called to make my first appointment with her, I had not felt my feet for over a month, was experiencing horrible muscle spasms in my legs and suffered from excruciating headaches. After two visits, I can feel my feet again, spasms have all but disappeared and no more headaches. Dr. Diane Michaels is someone you meet and instantly feel as if you have known her your whole life. Her compassion for her patients is immediately recognizable. She listens to everything about your condition and does not even attempt to adjust you until she feels confident she can help you. Her medical knowledge is A+ and her technique combining reflexology and use of an activator is by far the most effective approach for anyone with back issues. Don't take a chance with a Rice Krispy doctor that only knows how to Snap, Crack and Pop. Make an appointment with Dr. Michaels. You will be so VERY, VERY glad you did!
