I didn’t want my knee to be injected with steroids so I thought I’d try acupuncture

Getting older I found I had tweaked my knee as my body went one way and my knee stayed put. It was really painful and I felt tired and frustrated and like I was just getting old. I didn’t want my knee to be injected with steroids so I thought I’d try acupuncture. Nothing is instant, but I found each treatment I had such a huge difference. It’s been over a month and I can walk without limping, can sleep though the night and am not taking meds. Steve also worked on my tiredness as my thyroid labs were low but not enough for my PCP to prescribe anything. I showed a fast response in feeling more energized and less tired.

All in all this was a great choice and I would seek acupuncture for any ‘new’ issues that come along.

I have a new zest for life

To: Dr. Steve Phillips
This is an appreciation letter.
I have had a pain in both knees and both of the bottom of my feet. My two feet was numbing I can barely walk, I see the orthopedic so many times, he helped me with my pain, but I still had a stiffness with my knees and the bottom of my feet. After that I talk to a woman, she asked me if I see acupuncturist, I told her no, and she encourage me to go. And I found your name in the yellow page. After I visited you three days I already feel good. What a blessing to have you as my Dr! Right now I feel great and alive again and I have a new zest for life. You saved my life. Now I can walk as much as I want. God bless you and keep you well.

Most effective acupuncture treatment I have every had!!

I started seeing Steve when my chiropractor recommended that Steve might be able to add to the treatments she was doing for my knee pain as he had recently helped her with her shingles. I had an old injury (10 yrs ago) and the pain and swelling had been severe for months. I had to do something. After only a few months of seeing Steve, I no longer have knee pain. I am up to 6 miles of hiking on the week-ends and a very happy camper. I continue to see Steve, but now we are addressing other chronic problems I have had and am looking forward to having these resolved as well. Most effective acupuncture treatment I have every had!!

Steve,
It has been a long time since my last visit, but I wanted to thank you for helping me with my pregnancy.

You were always so kind and your office was a very soothing place to relax.
I hope all is well. Molly is now 3 months and keeping us busy.
Thanks again, take care

Treated (for): Infertility

Acupuncture helped us bring a healthy life into this world!

After trying to get pregnant for over a year with no luck, my husband and I decided to seek the help of an infertility doctor. I was put on many different hormones so that I would produce more eggs. We tried artificial insemination a couple of times with no luck. We were getting very frustrated and my mood swings were terrible from all the hormones the doctors were pumping into my body. We had started to take the first steps in planning invitro fertilization, which is very expensive. It would have taken all of our savings and then some.

My husband suggested I see the acupuncture clinic down the hall from his office. This was the best decision we made. So I made an appointment with Steve Phillips, and my husband and I went in to talk with him about our situation. I immediately started acupuncture and took a break from all the hormones and procedures that we had been doing at the infertility clinic. After a few months of acupuncture and my body being free of all the synthetic hormones, I found out I was pregnant! This was one of the happiest days of my life, to realize we had gotten pregnant without artificial help, and with the aid of acupuncture! I always looked forward to the sessions of acupuncture at Steve’s office. He always has soft music to listen to, and a nice atmosphere, which allows you to relax and rest, while you are having the acupuncture done.

After I found out I was pregnant, I immediately called Steve to let him know and thanked him for helping us achieve our goal. He suggested we name our son after him 🙂

9 months later, I gave birth to an 8 pound, 7 ounce little boy. Acupuncture really helped us bring a healthy life into this world! I am grateful I had the opportunity to try this holistic method. It was the best decision I ever made. Thanks, Steve!!

Improved immunity

I began seeing the acupuncturist, Steve Phillips, at the Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Clinic on June 8, 2009. I had just finished a course of antibiotics for a bronchial infection and I also had stabbing pain (from neuralgia) behind my left ear. After one treatment of acupuncture the pain behind my ear was gone!

I had blood drawn before I began acupuncture and after only four treatments, the following values are the results:

Before RX: May 29, 2009	After 4 RXs: June 25, 2009
White cell count(WBC): 3.2 thousand per UL (out of range)	WBC: 6.1 thousand per UL (it doubled)
Lymphocytes: 672 cells per mcL (out of range)	Lymphocytes: 2135 cells per mcL (it more than tripled)
Platelet count: 105 thousands per UL (out of range)	Platelet count: 164 thousand per UL (increased by 59 cells/UL)

My immunity and well-being have greatly increased.

What a relief to not have to consider taking chemical meds!

Hi Steve
I just wanted to let you know how things went after my acupuncture treatment for my high blood pressure. I had been tracking my blood pressure for a couple of weeks and it had been consistently in the 160s over high 80s. After the first treatment you gave me, I went home and checked that evening as usual. My BP was 115/74. It has stayed under 130 for a week now. What a relief to not have to consider taking chemical meds!

Thanks and see you next appointment,

My hot flashes have reduced by 90%

My name is Isabel Hurley, I had a double mastectomy between sept/oct of last year. After the first operation I starting to have hot flashes and I couldn't sleep and began getting in bad moods from the lack of sleep. A friend of mine recommended having acupuncture to see if it would help with my situation. I went to see Dr. Steve and after 3 months of treatment I can really say that my hot flashes have reduced by 90% and I have been getting a good night's rest. Thank you Dr. Steve for your knowledge and your patience.

The hot flashes are 80% gone

What a difference Steve has made in my life. When I came to Steve I was having hot flashes. Not only was I having hot flashes during the day, I was also unable to sleep through the night. After my first treatment of acupuncture I noticed a huge difference. I could sleep through the night, during the day the flashes were much less severe. After a couple of more treatments the symptoms disappeared completely. After four or five months I noticed the symptoms started to slowly reoccur. By the time I made an appointment with Steve I was once again waking up in the night. After one treatment I noticed that the hot flashes were again manageable. I have gone for three treatments this time and the hot flashes are 80% gone. Thank you Steve for giving me back my quality of life.

The treatments reduce my stress level and have a calming effect

Last summer I was diagnosed with colon cancer and breast cancer. After two surgeries, six weeks of radiation, tamoxifen medication and my estrogen patch taken away- I was stressed and instantly in full blown menopause. I took every over the counter concoction trying to cure the insomnia and hot flashes but nothing worked. On the recommendation of a family member, I decided that I would give Acupuncture a try. I found Steve through the Internet, and decided to consult with him because of his informative website and training. I am pleased to say that the insomnia has stopped and the hot flashes have diminished. The treatments reduce my stress level and have a calming effect.

Steve was also kind enough to do some allergy treatments and cured a strange random pain in my arm at no additional charge.

Thank you Steve for improving my quality of life!!
