If like me you've spent loads of money and time seeing the doctor for chronic fatigue, sore throat and painful glands, headaches, PMS and depression and nothing seems to help, I would look no further than this website and make an appointment to see Steve for some acupuncture. I got mono while I was living in England which over time turned in to Chronic Fatigue, a feeling of absolute exhaustion. Not the kind where you've been out late the night before, an exhaustion that makes you feel like you can't get out of bed at all. You have headaches, sore throats, feel shivery and the feeling does not go away like the flu does after a few days. The symptoms for me have often been worse leading up to my period. I began having acupuncture in the UK and after I moved to Sacramento I decided to find an acupuncturist here as it had helped me so much in London. I can honestly say I feel like a different person. I have energy from the start of a working day to the end, my glands rarely hurt, my PMS is hugely better and I rarely have days where I just need to sleep all the time. I look forward to my acupuncture appointment as it is so relaxing. Steve is great and is so professional. Thank you Steve for making me feel so much better.

Through my sessions of acupuncture with Steve Phillips, I have experienced health benefits beyond my expectation. Having never experienced acupuncture for myself, and yet hearing what benefits others had received, I decided to give acupuncture a try. When I consulted Steve Phillips for treatments, I was experiencing difficulty with sleep, with waking up feeling tired and lethargic, with puffy eye areas, worsening menstrual cycle symptoms, and a general feeling of malaise. I had tried over the counter and prescription medications for help with these areas, but my symptoms were not resolving, they were getting worse. I changed my diet to mostly vegetarian, exercised, and sought to decrease stress in my daily life, and yet, I still wasn't really "up to par". I increased exercise, only to find that I still continued with my symptoms, and in fact, stopped the exercise all together because my energy levels declined to an all time low. It was at this time that I met Steve Phillips and began to participate in acupuncture therapy for a period of a few weeks. Since that time I have had the first PMS free cycle I have had in 20 years, my eyes are not puffy, the malaise is mostly gone, I am exercising again.
Throughout the course of my treatment with herbal supplements and acupuncture treatments from Steve Phillips, I have been impressed with his consistent and calm nature and with his thorough approach in assisting others through his practice. I feel that Steve has helped me to move into a recovery that is a "milestone" experience for my health. Steve's experience and expertise made all the difference. I also brought my daughter to Steve's clinic for help with her cigarette smoking addiction. She has stopped smoking, and has never said one word about missing the cigarettes. I am thankful to know that in this busy world, that there are still practitioners and health advocates who really make a difference, in the lives of people like me, who just want to know better health and to feel well.
Thanks to you for reading my testimonial, I hope that it may encourage you today, and that if you the reader may benefit from acupuncture treatments, I hope that you find a practitioner with excellence such as I did, someone who can assist you into your better health. Thanks also to Steve Phillips, for a job well done. I feel very comfortable recommending him to my close friends, and to my family.

I met Steve Phillips over 10 years ago during Martial Arts training. I began to visit Steve because I was looking for a healthier alternative to Western medicine. Steve uses a comprehensive approach toward helping people live better lives through better health. Steve's acupuncture treatments and his knowledge of herbal remedies, are a pleasant change from today's "take a pill and call tomorrow" outlook in the medical industry. I was suffering from PMS and headaches. After my first treatment with Steve, the relief was tremendous. I actually fell asleep on the table. The PMS also responded well over time. I was also recently treated for sciatica with good results—the pain was gone in three treatments!
I highly recommend that anyone who hasn't tried acupuncture or isn't happy with their current acupuncturist, try Steve Phillips. You'll be glad that you did.

I have been going to Steve Phillips for several years. I am 57 and have found relief for various injuries, including "tennis elbow" and a too-stretched glute muscle.
He has also treated me for allergies, sinus problems, bladder infections and premenstrual symptoms.
Once a month "energy balancing" treatments have helped keep me very healthy for the last few years.
When I was younger and one of my three children experienced continual ear and sinus infections, I grew tired and concerned about all the antibiotics he was consuming. I took him to Dr. Phillips when he was three or four years old. After a year of treatment he has had, to date, no problems. His immune system is very strong and at 18 years of age, he is very healthy.
I cannot recommend Steve Phillips more highly.
I also want to thank him for informing me of acupuncture for age-related problems of the face. It took at least five treatments before I began to notice improvement. But there it was—especially in the texture, the brown lines, and the sagginess of my skin. I had a lapse of treatment for a few months, but my skin seemed to stay firm. I have begun sessions again with Steve for continued improvement.
