Trigger Point Specialist Extraordinaire

Trigger Point Specialist Extraordinaire is how I think of Steve Phillips. My first visit to the Acupuncture Clinic brought relief. I had been off from work for nearly three months with muscle strain/tendon pain in my forearms. Virtually complete rest of the forearms was the prescription for curing this problem and although helpful did not get me to the point of returning to work. Since I am in front of a computer all day I could not do my job or much of anything else that required use of my forearms, which is just about anything. I discovered through Steve there are trigger points in the forearms and once the trigger points are targeted, the acupuncture does its magic. I was so very happy to return to work and I truly attribute this to finding this miraculous treatment and the very kind and caring specialist who administers the care. Thank you so very much, Steve.

Made me not want to eat all the greasy foods

A very calming experience!

My experience with Steve at the acupuncture clinic has been very positive. On the advice of a friend I sought out an acupuncturist for the treatment of anxiety as well as insomnia. Each session, along with being extremely calming in and of itself, has contributed to what I’ve noticed has been a real decline in my anxiety and an increase in my ability to sleep well and through the night. I’m so pleased with the results and I definitely recommend it to others with anxiety and insomnia. And as a side note to those who may be anxious about just receiving acupuncture, relax! It’s a very calming experience!

Very professional

Steve Phillips has been treating me for around two years assisting me to cope with several chronic medical issues of mine, which include chronic low back pain, a rotator cuff problem in my shoulder, and anxiety. I can say without any doubt that Steve is very professional and has a deep concern for his patients. Prior to each session, Steve is sure to evaluate me and makes sure to address any issues that are currently hindering me. He is then able to adjust my treatment so that I’m able to gain the maximum benefit from the session. Steve has always clearly explained his recommended treatment with me and made sure that I was comfortable with his suggestion before proceeding.

Through the past two years with regular acupuncture treatments I have found that most of my medical issues are much easier to manage. The back and shoulder pain is much improved. In addition, each session has allowed me the time to grow through the solitude and quiet music which allows me to easily fall into a meditative state and focus on my body and spirit. This greatly helps my anxiety.

I would highly recommend to someone who is having difficulty maintaining any medical issue to sincerely consider Steve Phillips Acupuncture Clinic. It truly is an incredible alternative method of treatment to utilize in conjunction with your current medical treatments.

Stress levels are minimal after I leave Steve’s office

Re: Steve Phillips

I am a patient of Steve Phillips. I came to him with complaints of lipoma of the neck and leg, and stress levels that bring on panic attacks.

Since coming to Steve, the lipoma in my leg has dissipated and the one in my neck is half its size. I believe it would be smaller than that, but due to my constant travel schedule and my failure to keep all of my appointments, he has not had a chance to fully focus on it like he would like to.

My stress levels are minimal after I leave Steve’s office. I am calm and at peace. When Steve first started seeing me, I was WIRED (for lack of a better word)…now I relax and fall asleep on the table, and leave feeling great.

I have been to 2 other acupuncturists over the last 10 years. Never once did I leave their offices feeling relaxed.

I enjoy seeing Steve because I can communicate with him. He answers any questions or concerns I may have. He an understanding and kind person. He’s great at what he does and he clearly enjoys what he does for his patients.

I recommend Steve to my own patients as well as friends who live in this area.

Today I feel strong

After a fall two years ago, doctors found signs of multiple sclerosis. Ever since then, Steve has been treating me for that as well as back and leg pain and weakness. Today I feel strong and stable, and I look forward to my future with confidence and enthusiasm. The acupuncture has also helped me a lot with stress and anxiety.

Truly cares for his patients’ well being

I started going to the Acupuncture Center in September of 2007. Prior to my first treatment with Steve, I was constantly anxious. I would get attacks frequently. Sometimes I would feel like I was at the end of my rope, like I had no way to escape the way I felt. Steve listened to all of my concerns and adapted a treatment plan that made me feel safe. I feel he truly cares for his patients’ well being. On occasion I have missed a week with Steve and find that I feel much more anxious than I normally feel. Today I still treat with Steve, but I feel much more in control of how I feel. I feel hopeful for the future. One that is free of anxiety.

Dramatic improvement in both frequency and severity of headache

I was referred to Steve Phillips by Kaiser for headaches, where I’ve been treated for many years. I have daily headaches with several severe migraines every year bad enough to cause me to miss work for several days at a time.

After my first visit I had a few days of minimal headaches; after three or four visits I noticed a dramatic improvement in both frequency and severity of headache. Additionally, I noticed I no longer had a need to continue taking a prescription anxiety medication which I’d been taking for years, so I stopped taking it. In hindsight I realize the acupuncture treatments were indirectly responsible for this change.

I’m very happy I was referred to Mr. Phillips and would recommend him to anyone.

Disabling anxiety problem

My husband and I started acupuncture treatment with a great degree of skepticism but it was our last resort to find a cure for my husband’s anxiety problem. It was affecting his quality of life. To our amazement after visiting Steve for a number of weeks he is completely cured of his anxiety. I still can’t believe this miracle that Steve has performed and I am now a true believer in his treatment. The 100% success rate for his disabling anxiety problem speaks volumes for the power of acupuncture and Steve’s complete competency in his field. Thank you Steve.

Results were so stunning (20 years of chronic pain gone!!)

I began treating for plantar fasciitis, and the results were so stunning (20 years of chronic pain gone!!) that I asked about other ailments that acupuncture might help with, including back pain (instant relief!), and my sense of smell. After taking a prescription nasal spray I lost my sense of smell a few years back, and since I had been informed that might be a side effect, I thought nothing of the loss. However, it was a huge annoyance to friends and family who couldn’t understand that I just didn’t smell, anything! When I discussed the situation with Steve, he tackled the issue with enthusiasm. After just one treatment I was smelling the fragrant incense he uses in his office, which I’d never before noticed. The results, like the elimination of my chronic pain, were once again amazing. Traditional doctors said there was nothing that could be done to regain my sense of smell. But they were wrong. After just one month with acupuncture, I’ve regained a significant amount of my smell.

The treatments are soothing and relaxing and I’m just amazed at the range of ailments and symptoms that can be relieved or eliminated with acupuncture. While I believe in acupuncture, I also believe the acupuncturist is the most important component of the treatment, and Steve is excellent to work with. He listens to ensure he understands the issue, is patient and persistent in locating the source of the pain or injury, and makes sure you understand the recommended course of treatment. I can’t thank him enough for eliminating my painful plantar fasciitis and giving me back my sense of smell. Thank you, thank you!!
