Description

Specialties

Since 1995 I provide Hands-​On treatment for patients with headaches, injury and dysfunction including acute and chronic pain.

I use gentle and effective osteopathic manual therapy, including cranial osteopathy, to treat a variety of ailments, from headache/​migraine, acute injuries to more chronic conditions such as arthritis.

Osteopathic Manual Therapy can help with many types of complaints including:

back pain

neck pain

migraine/​headaches

spinal and joint problems

muscular tension

nerve related problems

persistent pain

postural strain

sports injury

stress related tension

work related pain problems

responsible for the primary area of discomfort.

Many of today’s health problems arise from stress. Because stress upsets the delicate integral balance of all of our body’s functions, regaining the balance oftentimes is most successfully treated with a holistic approach. My approach is conservative and is tailored to my client’s specific needs. I use techniques that safely and effectively reduce stress and also are widely used to help obtain relief from many specific problems.

My biggest challenge working with many of my headache and chronic pain patients is helping them believe that they can live a symptom free life without pain. Unfortunately, many of them are so resigned to living with it they don’t believe it can be overcome. The good news: Possibilities are in your favor that you don’t have to live with it any longer…

I have been going to Michael for almost a year after suffering lower back pain from a bulging disc. He gave me exercises to do multiple times daily along with helpful suggestions about proper sleeping positions. He also recommended strategies and devices to support my back while driving and sitting. He is an amazing talent who systematically identifies problem areas and relieves the tension and pain.

I was recommended by my primary physician to Michael. I was having chronic headaches along with neck and shoulder pain. I had for years tried to maintain my headaches by getting massages every two weeks as well as getting adjusted. I had «knots» in my shoulders that could never get resolved. My range of motion was not good. It effected my daily activities. I have also been recently diagnosed with arthritis in my neck. Having had a period of pain lasting weeks with no relief from medication, massage or adjustments, I went to see Michael. He strongly believes in the work he does and the results that he can provide. After the first session, I noticed I did not have those «knots» anymore. I have sought help for years for those «knots» and have never received the relief I felt after just one session with Michael. Of course, I have seen him more than once, but the immediate difference was glaring. I am feeling great, learning about the things that could tribute to the pain and being an active participant in my health. Michael is personable, knowledgeable, accommodating and a must see if you suffer with headaches.

I was referred to Michael by my primary care physician who sees him herself. I had been suffering with daily neck pain and limited range of motion. While I’ve only been treated for a month, I’ve already noticed a marked difference in my pain level and my range of motion has been fully restored. I look forward to continued progress and am confident that Michael will continue to deliver great results.

I am writing this review to hopefully persuade anyone dealing with chronic pain to let Michael help you. i have Lupus and Arthritis so I am used to living with varying degrees of pain but I entered a period of time where I was in very bad pain that I could not control. I had pain and numbness in my arms and hands. I was in physical therapy and had cortisone shots. I had acupuncture, saw specialists and spent a lot of money. I ride horses and my symptoms were so severe I had to stop. I found Michael from an article in a local paper and read that he helps with chronic pain. I made an appointment and from our first meeting Michael was able to diagnose my problem. I was so impressed with his knowledge and also confidence in being able to help me. And help me he did. I now have no pain and I ride my horse almost every day. He gave me my life back.

I get debilitating migraines that cause me to vomit, make me sensitive to light, and really take a toll on my productivity at work and my quality of life. I’ve been dealing with pain for years, but after coming across Michael Pys and seeing him for a few months I’ve actually started to feel better.
I have gone from waking up with a migraine every single day to having a headache once or twice a week which is a vast improvement. I’m able to manage my pain through certain techniques he has shown me; he has gone over proper sleeping positions, helped me improve my posture, and he has really educated me as to what triggers migraines and what muscles are associated with the pain.
Definitely recommend him to anyone that is having issues with migraine or pain. He’s extremely knowledgeable and eager to help. I often go to his office with a headache and leave feeling better, happier, and energized.

I am a 23 year old man, and you would think that my health is next to perfect, but since my car accident in 2008, life has been very difficult. For 6 years I was in constant pain that even limited my career and I visited over a dozen doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists that could not improve my quality of life. Thanks to several sessions with Michael, I noticed that I experienced chunks of time without pain. Now two months in, I have mostly normal days and I feel like I have my youth back. If you are experiencing chronic pain, do yourself a favor and make an appointment.

I came across an article in Daily Herald about neuromuscular therapy Michael Pys uses to relieve headaches, back and neck pain. At the time I was suffering for months from horrific pain in the neck, shoulders and mid-​back, along with tingling and numbness in my hands/​arms, pressure under the tongue and headaches. I went though multiple tests, seen specialists, did physical therapy for 10 weeks, yoga 3 – 4 days a week, even tried acupuncture. All to no avail! After reading the article, I figured, I’ll give a try since nothing else was working.
I started my therapy with Michael in late April. By mid May my headaches were long gone and the tingling/​numbness in my arms went away. Very soon after I had no pain in my back, shoulders, nor neck. The sensation under my tongue was gone as well.
Michael possesses an exceptionally impressive knowledge of the human body. He would find a painful spot in my neck before I had a chance to tell him where it hurt — and he would fix it. I learned from him about the contributing factors to my pain and the ways to prevent it in the future. I highly recommend Michael to anybody suffering from problems similar to mine.

I was incredibly lucky to be able to consult Michael Pys for neck/​back/​arm pain following three different injuries. His work is superb! He worked on my pain with careful diligence, and gradually the excruciating pain I had felt began to recede. He clearly explained to me during all three treatments the reasons for my pain and made important suggestions regarding posture and exercise to preven re-​injury. He is completely professional and highly skilled. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone in pain!
