I had heard of acupuncture before, but I had never tried it. My son has been going to Steve Phillips for a back injury and told me I should try it. I am a diabetic with neuropathy of the feet. I had no feeling in my toes and bottom of my feet. In fact, my first visit to Steve Phillips I didn't feel anything. I was shocked to see all the needles in my feet. Now, after eight visits, I have feeling in my feet and I am a believer in Steve Phillips' acupuncture. Thank you so much.

I have suffered from back pain for many years. I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in my back. Also have neuropathy from chemotherapy. Since previous treatments didn't seem to help, I decided to try acupuncture. After a few treatments with Steve, I began to feel better. I continued to see him and over a 6 week period, my back pain and neuropathy has significantly diminished; I have more energy and a more positive outlook toward my health and well being. I not only like Steve's holistic approach, but his great sense of humor makes sessions enjoyable. I am not extremely fond of needles, but the treatments have been immensely beneficial and so I look forward to my treatments! Thanks Steve!

About six months ago, I was diagnosed with neuropathy of my feet. My left foot was more painful than my right foot. My primary care doctor suggested acupuncture treatments. After four acupuncture treatments, the pain is less in both feet. I am able to walk longer distances with little or no discomfort.

I came to Steve Phillips for relief of my Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet. I started to get relief on the balls of my feet by the third visit. He really has helped me and now I can walk a lot further without me feet hurting. I have been a diabetic now for 35 years.

I have been going to Steve Phillips for nearly 15 years now for acupuncture treatment of peripheral neuropathy in my feet. I can definitely attest that the treatments work to manage my pain and maintain my mobility.

I sought acupuncture for my husband, Bill J's neuropathy in the left side of his abdomen. This is one of the more unusual sites for diabetic neuropathy and standard medical practice has little to offer besides drugs. After only a few treatments with Dr. Phillips we began to see results and at this writing Bill has had 7 treatments with more than 50 percent improvement in his pain and discomfort as well as a general feeling of well being without the use of drugs. Our appointments with Dr. Phillips are very positive, relaxed and uplifting. I feel that the operative word here is treatment, when you go to Dr. Phillips you are treated for exactly what is troubling you in a pleasant personal and relaxed atmosphere. My husband and I are very pleased with the results of Dr. Phillips' Acupuncture.

Over the last 10 or so years, I have experienced increasing numbness in my arms and hands while trying to sleep after extensive use of my arms, i.e., a weekend of yard work involving raking, pruning, hedge trimming, and weeding; several days of wall and trim painting, moving heavy boxes, etc. Additionally, this problem also began to occur after a few hours of typing at the computer and while driving. The numbness had become so persistent and uncomfortable that it was regularly interrupting my sleep. Upon consultation with Steve, he explained what he thought the source of the problem was and I embarked upon a series of once weekly acupuncture treatments. I felt relief from the numbness after the first treatment. This condition has continued to improve after each treatment. I am sleeping much better now, as the numbness occurs only infrequently and not enough to interrupt my sleep

Fred P. has been doing acupuncture with Steve Phillips for several months. His pain from neuropathy has been disabling through the past years.

He tried acupuncture years ago with another health provider and it was not successful!

Fred was taking ice baths during the night to try to deaden the pain. The Florin Pain Clinic suggested trying acupuncture again. Fred was skeptical—but willing to try anything. His pain seems to have lessened considerably. The positioning of the needles is different from before. He has found the sessions relaxing and the pain threshold less often reached.

Thank you,
