Welcome to Mickel Therapy

DR DAVID MICKEL qualified as a Medical Doctor in 1992 before going on to specialise in General Practice in 1996. He spent 6 years working full-time in practice in Elgin, Scotland.
He developed an interest in CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia during this time and became frustrated by the lack of success of conventional and alternative treatments for the conditions. He spent a number of years researching and experimenting with a variety of approaches and methods until he finally developed the process of treatment now known as
