Sick and tired of all the medicine doctors kept wanting to “try”

For years I have suffered from digestive problems and terrible skin issues and I was sick and tired of all the medicine doctors kept wanting to “try” to help my condition. After one session of Acupuncture with Steve I slept better and started to feel more relaxed. Now just after 5 acupuncture sessions with Steve Phillips my issues have been solved and I will continue with my treatments and give high recommendations to Steve Phillips.

Tangible relief

I began seeing Steve Phillips for acupuncture several months ago. I visited Steve initially with great skepticism to attempt to get relief from chronic depression. I was seeking out anything contrary to the approach with which several doctors had treated me (more and more pills). I was out of hope that I could and would get any better, so I figured it was worth a try. Steve welcomed me into his clinic and demonstrated just how very intuitive he is about how the human body works. With a few questions in the first session, he had honed in on a plethora of symptoms (that all certainly contributed to my depression). I had been ‘dealing with’ these things, as they seemed to be a normal part of my body’s functioning. I began treatment and a few short months later, my skepticism has melted into tangible relief: my digestion is better (I had very chronic IBS), my immune system is stronger, I have not had the allergy problems I typically survive through (and my chronic sinus infections are gone), I deal with stress better. I am no longer surviving as a victim of my body, but in greater harmony with it. I am all-around a more happy person, and this was no small feat! I am so very thankful that I gave Steve and acupuncture a try; I fear what I would be like today had I not.

My journey back to good health

With gratitude to Steve Phillips, I would like to share with you my journey back to good health.

I began acupuncture treatments with Steve Phillips three months after having pneumonia. I had been on four courses of antibiotics, and was ready to try an alternative to Western medicine. My chest still felt heavy and tight, I had a lingering cough, and I just didn’t feel well.

After starting acupuncture treatments, what I noticed first was that my chest and sinuses didn’t feel quite as tight. As importantly, I felt an underlying calmness that I hadn’t felt before. Over the next three months, my symptoms subsided and, gradually, I felt healthier. Rather than merely treating the symptoms, however, I felt as if I were getting better from the inside out.

Now I can truly say that I feel I have regained my sense of physical and psychological well-being. It’s not to say that I don’t feel down or catch a cold once in awhile. It’s just that I bounce back faster. I feel like myself again…healthy, peaceful and capable of healing myself.

Many thanks to Steve!

I have been a patient of Steve’s for about 20 years. Over the years he has treated me successfully for sciatica; he has accelerated me through flu and cold symptoms so that I could return to work instead of having to take days off to endure the illness. Steve also uses acupuncture to calm nerves which is amazing to me. I do not seek acupuncture treatments on a regular basis, but when the need arises we usually succeed. Many thanks to Steve!

Cold sore disappeared

Dear Steve,

Thank you treating my son’s cold sore. It disappeared after 4 days of treatment.

As usual we think very highly of you. In fact just yesterday we recommended you to another friend of ours.

I hope you will be in practice a very very long time.

Take care

Stopping my cold from getting worse

Thank you for getting me well so I could enjoy this gorgeous weekend. I don’t know exactly what you did on Thursday, but it helped so much in stopping my cold from getting worse and taking off. It surprised even me how quickly I recovered, but I knew you’d know what to do. You are Super!!

The pain has lessened

I am a registered dental assistant for a private dental office for about 20 years. I have carpal tunnel syndrome due to work-related causes for the last ten years now. I am constantly in pain throughout the day. The severity of the pain increases as the day continues. Ever since I have been receiving acupuncture procedures, I noticed the pain has lessened. I am able to work efficiently without constant pain.

The only option offered to me from my primary care physician was surgery

For the past three years I have suffered with carpal tunnel syndrome. It wasn’t bad at first, but then, I began to have numbness all the time and, at night, I had severe pain even though I was wearing splints on both hands. The pain sometimes kept me up for two hours. I was tired all the time and something needed to be done. The only option offered to me from my primary care physician was surgery which I did not want to have. (I have had Type I diabetes for 56 years and surgery is not something I want at this time of my life.) After telling a friend about my predicament, she suggested that I try acupuncture with Steve Phillips. Her daughter had the same problem and acupuncture had cured her carpal tunnel syndrome. I made an appointment with Steve. Steve is a very knowledgeable person and it is a pleasure to work with him. After just a few treatments, I noticed that my condition improved immensely. Now, I haven’t had any numbness or nighttime pain for several weeks. I highly recommend Steve and his acupuncture treatments. They work!

With a smile on my face

I’ve been treated by Steve Phillips for chronic bursitis of the hip, diabetes, depression and various other aches and pains for several years. Many times I’ve walked into his clinic near tears, but I always leave pain-free and with a smile on my face. Steve takes time to listen to my troubles and ensures that the area being treated feels better.

About 95% to almost 100% recovered

One day we noticed that our 11 year old daughter lost movement on her left side of her face. Early signs were she was having difficulties keeping liquid in her mouth; her left eye would not close completely shut; and her smile was crooked to one side. We took her to a neurologist who diagnosed her with mild to moderate Bell’s Palsy. Oral steroids were recommended but it would come with certain possible side effects. We felt that we needed to do something and opted to go with acupuncture.

Because we didn’t know any acupuncturist in the Sacramento area, I googled and found Steve Phillips on the Internet. I called and spoke with Steve Phillips and asked lots of questions. Dr. Phillips was very helpful and patient on the phone. I also spoke with another acupuncturist that someone recommended but was bit turned off by her absolute promise to cure.

Subsequently, my daughter had three sessions with Dr. Phillips during a 3 week period. My daughter after three sessions is now about 95% to almost 100% recovered. We are very grateful to Dr. Phillips.
