I developed severe rheumatoid arthritis almost 10 years ago. Since then I have been going to Deep River Wellness Center and working with Michael to treat my illness. I almost cannot say enough good things about Michael, but I will try to describe how much he has helped me in my journey towards health and healing.
When I first went to Deep River I had no use of my shoulders and 6 of my 10 fingers, my feet "sloshed" when I walked, I couldn't put on shoes, and I was in more pain than I thought any human being could possibly live with. I hadn't slept more than an hour at a time in months, and I was depressed beyond belief. I can remember filling out the form to fax to Michael, it showed the outline of a body and said to circle where you had pain. I think I finally circled the whole body because there really wasn't a part of me that didn't hurt.
After the first session I remember feeling alive for the first time in months. I think the best way to describe it was that I felt hope. The acupuncture treatment itself was actually relaxing. (i won't say that the herbs were easy to take at first, but you do get used to them and the do help a lot.)
I cannot say it's been simple, but I can say that every day I get closer and closer to a healthy life. I have lost almost 80 pounds and I am able to exercise. I can do this without poisoning my body or risking my health with chemotherapy or other immune-suppressing therapies. My Doctor cannot believe how much progress I have made.
I continue to use Michael's services and am grateful to have found not only a caring healer but also a true friend and guide.

I started seeing Michael about a year ago for a knee injury. I had gone to an orthopedic MD and a physical therapist. The MD suggested surgery, no thanks. The PT put me on a regimen of exercise, but it was Michael's acupuncture treatment that really got me on the road to total recovery. My knee is as good as new now! And as a bonus, I discovered thru Michaels suggestions of herbal treatments the most effective and safe treatment for my painful shingles. NO MORE prescription antiviral drug needed, that had wrecked my immune system. Thru Michaels knowledge and treatments I am healthier and stronger now than I was, and for a 61 year old, that is great!!

Michael Norris has been helping me with several health issues. Along with acupuncture, he has recommended books, herbs and given me good advice for better health both physically and mentally. My first visit was a very calming experience and each time is just as refreshing as well as healing.
I have recommended him to several of my friends and will continue to do so.

I have been seeing Michael for about 18 months due to symptoms from a hysterectomy (anxiety, depression, fatigue, hot flashes, stress, panic attacks) and severe skin breakouts. I was on medication for cholesterol, anxiety, depression, and had taken Acutane for the adult acne. The skin breakouts continued and the other medications were causing my blood pressure and sugar to increase. My doctor wanted to put me on more medication to treat the blood pressure and sugar.
Within 3 weeks of working with Michael, my symptoms were improving. Michael uses a whole system approach – mind, body, spirit – to heal. With his help, I stopped taking all medication and used the combination of acupuncture, food, exercise, vitamins, and Chinese herbs. My symptoms have improved – lower cholesterol, controlled anxiety/depression, and blood pressure and sugar were back to normal. My doctor was amazed at and happy with my improvement.br>
Unfortunately, I am moving out of state and will miss his acupuncture treatments. He has offered to be available to consult when I find a new practitioner.

A few years back, I had same day sinus surgery. The Knoxville group accidentally punctured a hole in my skull and serious consequences came after that. Needless to say, I still had sinus problems. Recently, I have had TN- Trigeminal neuralgia. This has been the most pain I have endured. After a MRI ruled out any tumor or artery problem, I was placed on seizure medicine and hydrocodone for pain. My options were to have surgery with the possible cutting of the nerves ect.NOT This Time! In August 2011 a friend recommended Deep River Wellness Center- Michael Norris. I started out 3 days a week and am now down to one day a week. Michael has treated me for sinus and Tn. After being on Chinese medicine and acupuncture since August, my pain has gone away. I have stopped using western medication for Tn and sinus problems. For the first time in a long time, I am pain free and feel 100% better. If you are having any health issues, I would seek medical attention and rule out any life threatening consequences and then go have a consult with Michael Norris. I hope that he can provide you with the relief that I feel I would never would have obtained otherwise.

Finally – Hot Flashes that are under control.
I was taken off HRT two years ago, cold turkey. Since then I have suffered with frequent hot flashes day and night. I was turning down the furnace in the winter and in the summer the house was as cold as a meat locker. My poor husband was turning blue from the cold. I found Michael through a referral and started seeing him twice a week for three months. Finally I was able to go once a week and now I am going every two weeks. Life has improved 100% because of the medicine and caring that he has shown me. I would recommend him to anyone that is having this problem, just be patient because it takes time to readjust the body.
