Has kept me in the best possible condition

I am a 53 year old woman who trains horses for a living and has a martial arts filled past. In other words, I am a gold mine of old and current injuries, particularly my ankle, shoulders and lower back.

Steve Phillips with his athletic savvy and acupuncture talents has kept me in the best possible condition I need to not only work, but to enjoy life to its fullest. My immune system is better than it’s been in years as well as my general health and energy level. His practice combines a kind concern with a no nonsense view towards health care that is quite refreshing. I certainly recommend it strongly.

My shoulder could have had surgery

Acupuncture therapy with Dr Steve Phillips for couple of months has been the perfect treatment to my pain on my shoulder and ankle and my recovery has exceed my own expectations. My shoulder could have had surgery as an option but Dr Phillips and his treatments took care of it and made a huge difference. I feel great. Thank you Steve, job well done!

My ankles and wrists significantly improved

Although I am only in my early 50’s, my arthritis problems started about 10 years ago and significantly worsened over the past year. Most significantly affected were my knees, ankles and wrists/hands. After being told by a physician that I “just have to learn to live with arthritis”, I decided to try acupuncture.

I have been receiving treatments from Steve for several months. I didn’t notice that much difference after the first two treatments, but I was amazed at my improvement after the third treatment. The pain and stiffness in my knees completely disappeared. Over the next treatments, my ankles and wrists significantly improved, as well. At this point, I am not taking any pain medications for my arthritis and I can say I am mostly pain-free. I don’t know how it works, but it does.

I would highly recommend Steve’s acupuncture skills and acupuncture in general. My results are far beyond what I expected and I am very grateful.

I have suffered from hay fever all my life

I have suffered from hay fever all my life, and the spring is a particularly difficult season for me. This past March, I went to see Steve Phillips to try acupuncture for my allergies. What a wise decision that turned out to be! Steve’s treatment somehow managed to alleviate the great suffering my allergies always cause once the trees start blooming. I certainly have Steve to thank for the better quality of life.

Keep a lid on hay fever

Steve Phillips has been my acupuncturist since he started his practice in Sacramento. He can whisk away fibroid tumors or keep a lid on hay fever. Any hurtful illness or injury deserves a visit to Steve. He helped me keep my mother-in-law balanced for three years until her death at 98 years. Steve treated her in her nursing home at the end. He also cared for my mother when she was ninety and staying with me (cleared up some new varicose veins).

Effective for a wide variety of ailments

My name is Dean Myers and I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Steve for close to 14 years. When it comes to health, Steve is very knowledgeable. I can attest that his acupuncture treatments are very effective for a wide variety of ailments.

Before my first visit, I thought the needles would hurt or be painful. I am happy to say that this was a misconception. Steve inserts the needles painlessly, and afterwards, I lay quiet for about 30 minutes, enjoying soft music. During this time I just relax or practice meditation and prayer. A side benefit of each treatment is being energized and feeling improved self-esteem.

I have had treatments for pulled hamstring and calf muscles, a torn ACL knee injury, allergies and respiratory ailments in general. These treatments relaxed these injuries and promoted excelled healing. After each visit, I experienced reduced pain, and greater mobility. From my sessions for allergy, my symptoms have been reduced, and I remain less affected by them, even living in Sacramento!

Thank You Steve

Cortisone had not solved my problem

I have been an acupuncture client of Steve Phillips since 1995. I had been referred to him from a massage therapist for a knee problem. Two shots of cortisone had not solved my problem. Steve worked his magic and I was able to return to my career of teaching little children to dance. He has helped me recover from other problems such as a major painful stomach disorder, shingles, nasal congestion and various other problems.

I moved a few years ago and have tried other therapists in other areas of the country but find that they do not have the healing power of Steve. When I return to Sacramento, my first phone call is to Steve for my general tune up. It just makes sense to keep the energy points flowing free to continue having the highest quality of life. You who live in this area are blessed to have the highest quality of “acupuncture by Steve.”

Found relief for various injuries

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.

No longer have seasonal allergies

I started seeing Steve Phillips about ten years ago at which time he treated me for various symptoms including general well-being. As a result of the general well-being treatment and some more specific treatment for allergies, I no longer take Allegra and no longer have any seasonal allergies.

I was hoping for relief and received a full pardon!

Steve Phillips is a knowledgeable and caring physician. I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Steve for over three years. He is straight forward in his treatment and very honest.

I had sinus headaches and severe hay fever allergies each spring season. While taking all the recommended pharmaceuticals I still suffered. One January I decided to see Dr. Steve monthly to begin a curious experiment of inner strengthening and healing hoping to improve the inescapable torment of spring. Unbelievably April, May, June came along and I experienced absolutely no symptoms at all. I was hoping for relief and received a full pardon!

There have been times when my energy flow was “off”… I mentioned it before a treatment and with the proper placement of needles I could honestly feel my energy align itself. I have called at the last moment feeling a cold or flu trying to grab me. Dr. Steve would manage to find time to see me and after the one hour treatment the symptoms had evaporated! Amazing!

I highly recommend Steve Phillips to anyone willing to try acupuncture for relief and healing. I am no longer skeptical; I remain grateful.
