Significant relief

Acupuncture has helped me immensely with ongoing chronic health issues. The treatments provide me with significant relief from arthritis by improving mobility and joint stiffness. I have also experienced relief from sinus discomfort. Acupuncture, with its gentle and natural approach, gives me a peaceful sense of well-being.

I recommend that people give acupuncture treatments a try and see for themselves the benefits.

Helped me to feel better

I have been a patient of Steve Phillips for 16 years. His treatments have helped me to feel better so many times it’s difficult to remember the different problems I have had that he has helped me with.

I had been having problem with sinus headaches, one side of my head always hurt more than the other. The regular doctor gave me many medications, some would help but when the dosage was gone the pain would come back.

I was tired of taking so many antibiotics when a friend suggested I should try acupuncture with Steve. I did so and received the most relief from pain I had in months. I was so happy with the outcome and could hardly believe it.

I moved to Stimson Beach and was there for five years. The climate was so much better for me. However, I still received acupuncture treatments.

Due to other health problems, I returned to Sacramento to be close to my daughter and her family. After about six months, I started having sinus pain and my doctor wanted to start with the antibiotics again. I am once more receiving treatments and getting great results.

I would suggest anyone having pain should give acupuncture a try. I’m sure you will be happy with the outcome.

The right acupuncture treatment

For many years I suffered from severe allergies that would last for months. No medicine or over the counter drug could relieve my symptoms. In desperation, I decided to visit Steve Phillips and try acupuncture. After receiving one treatment from Steve, my symptoms went away within one week! I have also used acupuncture for relieving knee and hand arthritis, with great results! Regardless of what ailment I have, Steve always prescribes the right acupuncture treatment, which enables me to stay healthy and physically active at age 52. I have and will continue to refer people to Steve, so that they may experience the same benefits I have from his quality care. Thanks again Steve!

Success with allergies

The constant nasal drip down the back of my throat got to the point where I could hardly talk. My voice was a whisper or worse, like a frog. I was always “aheming” to clear out my throat. And I’m a teacher. It was affecting my job not to mention my enjoyment of the outdoors. I tried several remedies; inhalers, different prescription antihistamines, saline sprays, over the counter nutrients, natural remedies, or drugs. It got to the point where nothing was helping. My sister suggested acupuncture. Now, I don’t usually listen to my sister but I knew she had tried it for a knee injury with success and she mentioned a friend who’d had success with allergies. I thought why not? It was amazing. After the first few treatments I had positive results. I could talk normally again and my throat felt clean and clear. I haven’t had to use any of my former prescriptions or products. I can’t tell you enough Karen B. to be able to do gardening, camping, hiking, or just sit out and enjoy my yard without worrying about the allergic reactions I would have had a year ago.

Keeps my Sacramento allergies at bay

Testimonial for Steve Phillips

I have been seeing Steve for several years for treatment of arthritis in my left ankle, right knee, both thumbs and lower back. In addition, he keeps my Sacramento allergies at bay by treating my sinuses.

I firmly believe that the acupuncture treatments have helped to keep my arthritic joints moving so that I can swim, do aerobic exercises and lift weights with little discomfort. I am sure that left untreated, my joints would freeze up and leave me very unhappy.

Steve and I have many great intellectual discussions and some that are less intellectual, and there are some that are, as he said last week, “a poke and a joke.” My appointments with Steve go by very quickly, either because we are talking or because I feel safe and relaxed enough to take a quick nap

I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone for acupuncture treatment.

Positive results

I first saw Steve Phillips for acupuncture treatments in 2004. I was experiencing headaches and nausea from subdural hematomas. The sessions helped to lessen these symptoms. Over the past few years I have undergone acupuncture treatments for a variety of conditions such as anxiety, pain in my knees, my shoulder and a sinus condition. All of these sessions have given positive results. I presently continue with the acupuncture sessions to maintain good health and a sense of well-being.

Acupuncture is relaxing and restful

I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Steve Phillips for over 2 years. I began going in order to get relief for lower back pain, and to improve my immune system. Because I have bad allergies, he also began treating my sinus area as well. The back is fine now, but I continue to go for treatments because it really helps clear my sinus area and gives me relief for my allergy symptoms.

I believe it has also helped my immune system. I don’t get sick as often, and when I do get sick – it doesn’t seem to be as bad or lengthy as in the past. I have also done some research and found that boosting the immune system is one of the things that has been studied and proven to be helped by acupuncture.

Acupuncture does not hurt, and is relaxing and restful. I have recommended Mr. Phillips to my friends with allergies, back pain, or chronic pain of any nature.

Restoring me to better health

I have undergone Western medical treatments for over 20 years for asthma, food and seasonal allergies. These treatments included corticosteroid inhalers, allergy injections, nasal sprays and oral medications. Normally I experienced several sinus and bronchial infections each year which were treated with many antibiotic medications. I also suffered from irregular heart rhythm on a frequent basis.

Since beginning acupuncture treatments 6 months ago, I have begun to experience much improved health. I no longer require the use of any asthma or allergy medications, and the irregular heart rhythm episodes have dramatically diminished. My energy level and skin tone have noticeably changed for the better. After not feeling well for so many years, I am really appreciating the overall sense of well being I now enjoy.

The funny thing is that I only tried acupuncture to keep a friend company who was going to have treatment for the first time. I thought it would be good encouragement and support for him. Little did I know what a life-changing experience it held for me in restoring me to better health.

I no longer dread the spring season

I began to suffer from seasonal allergies when I moved to Sacramento about 15 years ago. My symptoms became worse every year until I was a complete mess every spring, with itchy, watery eyes; a runny nose; constant sneezing; an itchy palate; and wheezing at night. Before I tried acupuncture, I tried a variety of allergy medications. They helped, but I didn’t like the side effects, particularly the way they dried out my sinuses. About ten years ago, I decided to try acupuncture, and it worked. Acupuncture relieves my symptoms as well as if not better than the allergy medications I had tried, and there are no side effects. Now I see Steve Phillips for several treatments every winter before the spring allergy season hits. I no longer dread the spring. In fact, I enjoy it! I recommend acupuncture to everyone I know who suffers like I did from seasonal allergies.

Worth a try

Six years ago when I relocated to Sacramento, I expected that to have allergy issues with my outside activities. It did happen and I needed over the counter allergy pills and nose spray to get through the seasons. I found that the medication was had negative side effects and wanted a better solution. I had tried acupuncture before for other conditions and was convinced that it would be worth a try. I researched the area and decided that Steve Phillips had the depth of experience and training that might help me. As I now conclude my second year with him I no longer need pills and nose spray. In fact, I have been allergy medicine free in 2010.

Steve has also been helping me extensively with a tennis elbow injury and temporary hearing loss. Both conditions have shown improvement through his treatment. I highly recommend Steve Phillips as a very professional and caring practitioner of acupuncture.
