Dr Michael Behymer is amazing! He has helped me with many different things but most recently saw me on an emergency basis for job related back and neck pain. As a pediatric dentist I am often in awkward positions . He brought my pain scale from a 9 to 3 in 30 minutes without any cracking; just stretching and muscle manipulation. I called him and he saw me the same day. This is after seeing Drs, using tens units, lidocaine patches, rollers, Tylenol, ibuprofen, trigger point injections, nothing worked like the magic of his knowledge of muscles and how the body is connected . He has helped many I

I've been seeing Dr. B for close to two years now. I only go for maintenance at this point, but originally I went in after months of trying to resolve carpal tunnel pain and I was at the point where I was considering surgery because the pain was so bad. I was receiving regular cortisone shots, too. In just a few visits, he not only relieved the pain temporarily but made it go away permanently using ART therapy. I went in today after having gout in right ankle for a few weeks and after one visit I am feeling 80% better. I have referred at least 6 people to him and can't rave enough about how he

I have so many wonderful things to say about Dr. Behymer. Let's start with he genuinely cares about people and really wants you to feel better. I started seeing him last January when I could barely walk due a car accident that left my lower back in excruciating pain. After taking x-rays with Dr. Behymer he quickly noticed some issues and started working on me. After about a week of consistent treatment with him I was walking again with little to no pain! Since then I have continued to see him for regular maintenance and I feel better than ever and wished I started seeing him years ago. My husband

I don't know what I would do without Dr. Michael. I am a full-time fashion design student who commutes 2 hours each way to campus, and I also have two jobs. I spend a lot of time in a chair or hunched over a table measuring, cutting, etc. Even with my crazy schedule Dr. Michael always makes times to see me a couple times a week. The adjustments help immensely and he is able to do work on my muscles as well. Last week I had a throbbing pain from my ring finger down to my elbow and he was able to take care of it for me! He can fix anything from my jaw, my mid back, my hands, my neck, and once I went

Was having issues with my hands and arms going numb while doing the simplest activities-writing,talking on the phone, and even driving. My hands started to become weak to the point I could barely do my job. Holding groceries was painful and even petting my dog would hurt. I found Michael through a friend and decided I would try him out. It took a few weeks to get the strength back in my hands, but it came back!! The numbness started to fade and my neck wasn't as sore. Michael walked me through everything and always answered any questions i had. He was always veryh tentative and worked around my
