When Michael Niss was young, he developed significant lower-back pain while on a swim team. His parents recommended acupuncture, and the treatment helped. What stayed with him was not only the relief, but the way his acupuncturist, Dr. Ray Rubio, looked for how the problem developed in the first place—asking about Michael's swim technique, suggesting changes, and including nutritional and lifestyle advice to support recovery.
I knew I wanted to combine humanity's ancient and ongoing relationship with natural medicine with the modern diagnostic tools available today.
