While we are both equally excited about her back pain relief, there are so many more exciting implications for what she has experienced. Do you think chronic pain relief is even possible? Well, many people don’t and so they go from doctor to doctor looking for solutions. I think that what this woman shares so beautifully is just how Network Care can help people with a variety of conditions and symptoms but who maybe have some ‘limiting’ beliefs about what it takes to heal.
If you’re experiencing issues with back pain or fibromyalgia or lack of energy or zest for your life, know that these same types of results are possible for you, too. As your Gilbert chiropractor, let me be your guide on this healing journey. Until then, enjoy this amazing personal story.
Hello Dr. Mike,
I just had to drop you a line and thank you so much for the extra time you spent with me tonight. I was stuck in that place of thinking my body is defective and I’m never going to be normal. Your “support” and “care” helped me more than you may know. I came home and tried to cry some more, but no – I’m only able to cry in public. Ha.
I’ve spent the last hour 1/2 in a very peaceful place, and had what I will call a spiritual awakening – I realized on a very deep level that:
“All is well and I am whole”
I didn’t just hear the words, I know that I know it’s true – you know what I mean.
Funny thing is…the pain is gone.
I’m not sure if it will be back tonight, or tomorrow, or never come again, but it doesn’t really matter….all is well and I am whole.
I’m so thankful to be in your care, where as you say, I can laugh, cry, swear, etc, etc, etc. I feel so supported by you on my path to wellness and tonight you literally supported my back, until I was able to stand on my own. Good thing, or we may still be there 
Thank you.
You are such a blessing,
Lots of love,
D
My reason for beginning Network Care was…
“My reason was due to stress and how to handle it without flipping out, leading to a calmer life and not worrying about the small stuff and learning to let go.”
Since beginning Network Care (6 months ago), I’ve noticed these changes in my symptoms, my body and my life…
“I am more intuned with my body. It’s crazy! I can move my body and feel my spinal cord move and adjust to accommodate my tension. It’s almost like I’m giving myself a mini treatment! I’m up and down as far as emotions go. But what I can say is I truly understand how it feels to be happy and sad. I feels great to feel every emotion and have control of my life.”
What I enjoy most and what I would like someone to know about Network Care at Infinite Healing Arts Center is…
“What I enjoy most is that it helps you put your life into perspective and you actually control your wants and needs. The feeling is indescribable. Your life becomes effortless.”

]]>“…a few months ago, I was experiencing tremendous neck and shoulder pain due to stress and tension. Not wanting to accept the miserable state I was in, I sought out advice from my general doctor. After X-rays, muscle relaxers and physical therapy, my body continued to hurt. I was extremely frustrated! There had to be a better, non-medicated way of healing.
Since beginning Network Care (3months ago)…no pain meds! No physical therapy! No more pain and discomfort! My entire being has been transformed into positive energy . Through prayer and the precious knowledge of Dr. Mike, I now have peace. My body knows how to deal with stress and tension in a proper manner naturally. Network care has been life changing! The past three months have allowed me the opportunity to experience my “wonderful self” again.”
What I enjoy most and what I would like someone to know about Network Care at Infinite Healing Arts Center is…
“You will be enlightened; mentally, physically, and spiritually! Dr. Mike creates an environment that uplifts the human spirit. Thank you for giving me the tools to live in harmony with myself. You exude an abundance of happiness!”

]]>As a chiropractor in Gilbert, I’m among a population of active and busy families. We get to see mothers, children, babies, grandmothers and dads all working and playing, doing as much as they can to enjoy their lives. So, it is always a treat when we can play some small part in another’s healing journey and help keep families healthy together. Here’s one of our favorites from the sciatica treatment category…
“I was referred to Dr. Mike Funicello after enduring excruciating pain for over seven months. I had already tried six different Dr.’s and while they were able to help me get to a certain level they were not able to get rid of my pain. I had suffered from a very bad fall and had injured the left side of my body and fractured two discs in my back. I was still suffering from Sciatica and Piriformis Syndrome and bad spasms in my spine. I was not able to sit and walking was barely manageable. My life was barely tolerable because of the pain. For seven months, I had lived day to day on very strong pain pills and could barely manage to get our of bed, much less walk. This was not the way I wanted to live the rest of my life.
I have been in network care for two months and the changes have been amazing! I can now stand straight! I now can walk, I can sit and I can also lay down and be comfortable. While I still have a limited amount of pain and am still stiff and sore at times, I no longer have to take pain pills. Finally, I am able to get my life back on track. I am so much more aware of my body! I am so much more in tune to what my body is telling me and I am learning to listen to my body. I am so much more aware now of my body and how emotions and stress played a significant factor in my not being able to get rid of the pain.
My emotions have changed from a very negative out look to one of joy and happiness and contentment and I am looking forward to the future once again. My happy spirit is back once more and I can laugh, I can live each moment and enjoy my life for the first time in nine months without excruciating pain.
What I enjoy most about the Network Care at Infinite Healing Arts Center is that I am getting well! I am learning so much from Dr. Mike Funicello about how much body awareness plays a vital role in wellness. I am so grateful that he is so patient and so knowledgeable and so efficient and effective in his practice. His treatments have been so effective that I am now on the road to wellness. These treatments really do work.
I have come a long way from my very first visit that I had with Dr. Mike. When I went in I was so skeptical as to how he could help me in my condition; I could not grasp how the treatment could help me with my injuries and how he could possibly get rid of my pain. Two months later I am now a firm believer! Going to Dr. Mike has turned my life around! This has been and continues to be a life altering, positive experience for me.”

]]>My reason for beginning Network Care was…
“…mostly because of chronic pain in my left foot making it difficult to walk or just do the things I enjoy. This made me extremely irritable at times and a little depressed (I have been diagnosed with Lupus).”
Since beginning Network Care (3 months ago), I’ve noticed these changes in my symptoms, my body and my life…
“I wish I could explain the whys, because it is hard to accept that the Network Care has been the reason for having less pain and being more at ease. But it is the only explanation for the way I have been feeling and I am very grateful.”
What I enjoy most and what I would like someone to know about Network Care at Infinite Healing Arts Center is…
“Dr. Mike is passionate about what he does and he definitely gets results!”
~Michele G., Mesa
]]>“I had been thinking about beginning Network Care for a few years, not for any specific reason, but because I wanted to feel my best. With the chaotic schedule of families today and no “real” reason to make time for myself to go, I didn’t.
Several months ago I began having low energy, brain fog, weight gain, joint pain, hearing problems and skin changes. A blood test determined I had hypothyroidism. While researching alternatives to taking thyroid medication for the rest of my life, I came across The Hypothyroid Sourcebook by M. Sara Rosenthal which, to my amazement, cited The Association for Network Chiropractic as a healing alternative to taking a pill. Soon after my diagnosis, my daughter’s gymnastics coach suggested she seek chiropractic care. Now, as a busy mom, I had a “valid” reason to begin chiropractic care.
The diagnosis of hypothyroidism motivated me to not only begin Network Care, but also be more diligent with healthy nutrition choices and ramp up my exercise and Yoga program. My good intentions faded during the holidays and exercise went to the bottom of the to-do list. Thankfully, I continued Network Care. I have been receiving Dr. Mike’s therapy for about 6 months. Since beginning I’ve noticed ease in my breathing and a higher energy level. The most remarkable change can be seen in my lab results. After 5 months of care my thyroid level dropped to the normal range. This outcome can be attributed to Network Care alone!
What I enjoy most and what I would like anyone to know about Network Care at Infinite Healing Arts Center is Dr. Mike’s commitment to the treatment and healing of his patients. His positive attitude and genuine dedication to his patients’ health inspires me to approach life with the same posture. “

]]>If you’ve been injured in an accident and you’re looking for a chiropractor in Gilbert to help you, then consider Infinite Healing Arts Center. We’ve been providing gentle chiropractic care to people injured in accidents of varying levels of severity since 1998. Listen to one story here…
My reason for beginning Network Care was…
“My reason for beginning Network Care was due to a car accident 5 years ago; I have had continuous pain in my neck and back and nerve damage in my right arm. I was diagnosed with bulging C5-6 and C6-7 disk and herniated disk, as well as nerve damage. I have had pain blocks done for 3 years with it only being a temporary fix.”
Since beginning Network Care (about 1 month ago), I’ve noticed these changes in my symptoms, my body and my life…
“Since I started with Dr. Mike I have noticed that I’m no longer a walking blob of pain! I’m off all of my pain medication as well as muscle relaxers. My life is more exciting. I’m able to get up in the morning without feeling pain and go all day without taking a nap due to all of the medication. I’m more relaxed and not as irritable “I’m actually pleasant to be around again”. I have a positive outlook on life. Since the accident it was taken away from me for 5 years it’s good to have it back!
I can actually tell what my body is feeling and what my posture should be doing and how I should feel. It’s a GREAT feeling to be able to have control over my mind and body!”
What I enjoy most and what I would like someone to know about Network Care at Infinite Healing Arts Center is…
“I look forward to going to Dr. Mike every week! If it wasn’t for him I would still be on all of the pain medicine and still going through life wondering if I was ever going to feel good again. I’m a living testimony that Network Care at Infinite Healing Arts Center can change your life!
Thank you Dr. Mike!”

At Infinite Healing Arts Center, we feel that incorporating these types of breath and body awareness exercises into the care of our patients, as well as in their home care yields great results that are often quite profound.
My reason for beginning Network Care was…
“I was stressed and I felt it in my back for a few years”
Since beginning Network Care, I’ve noticed these changes in my symptoms, my body and my life…
“Today we did an exercise where I quickly breathed in my mouth and out my mouth and then a separate exercise with breathing in/out quickly through my nose. ..I felt and uncomfortable emotional reaction where I first felt I was doing it wrong and felt laughter, then I felt I was holding tears back…then I sat up and was told to think about what I felt and as I told Dr. Mike I felt sad…I started crying. I felt those short quick breaths I take when I am upset. I always forget to breathe when stressed.”
What I enjoy most and what I would like someone to know about Network Care at Infinite Healing Arts Center…
“I think it made me aware of how I will not allow myself to breathe when panicked. It was strengthening in that I could allow myself to release the tension without the stress.
This made me feel open and ready for change in my spine. I felt I was pushing it to move before and now it is pushing me to stop my bad habits (breathing/posture).
It can change your whole attitude towards life.”
~G.W., Scottsdale

We feel our services are unique enough and our caring approach exceeds that of anyone here in the Valley. So, while we can’t toot our own horn as well as our patients, we can agree with them. Ha! See you soon…
]]>“I was traveling over a long weekend and my neck, shoulders, and back locked up. My doctor called in prescriptions for a muscle relaxer and an anti-inflammatory – I took the medication for four days, but nothing changed. When I returned home I came in for Network Care. During the treatment I felt a strong vibration going back and forth across my lower back and the tingling a the top of my head. After lying on my back, I could feel the energy rushing up and down my spine. Dr. Mike then had me sit up and straddle the table – a great feeling rushed through my entire body – I felt euphoric! The pain I had been feeling over the past five days was completely gone and then I had a vision. The vision was an answer to prayer. I had been praying for several weeks, asking God for a clear answer about a situation in my life, after the vision, the direction was clear”
