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.

I had severe arm and shoulder pain. I am rarely slowed or stopped by pain, I usually can work through it. Working through this pain was not going to happen. I could not get away from it. It was interfering with my ability to do my job. I am the Financial Director of small social services nonprofit and my job puts me in front of a computer all day. The pain was so bad I could hardly move my arm and I was having problems lifting my arm to type. All this happened in the middle of our annual audit. I started looking for alternative treatments because I just could not work and take pain medicine and I needed to work and provide the information required by the auditor. I fully committed to treatment with Steve and within four visits my pain slowing decreased until now I rarely have any pain in my arm or my shoulder. Steve recommended that we do several more visits to make sure that everything is completely gone. Thank you Steve, great job!

Steve,

I really hate needles! That tells you how difficult it was for me to go to an Acupuncturist.

My husband had gone to Steve Phillips with great success, so I gave him a try. I had tennis elbow and was in a lot of pain. After five visits, the pain was gone and it never came back. My next visit, some years later, was for shoulder pain on one side and arm pain on the other side. I waited three months to call Steve. By that time, the pain was severe. Again, five visits and it was gone.

I am now seeing him for lower back pain. I have no doubt that it will gone soon.

I have recommended Steve to several friends. They have also been relieved of their pain.

I still hate needles, but continue to go to Steve for permanent relief of my aches.

Over the last 10 or so years, I have experienced increasing numbness in my arms and hands while trying to sleep after extensive use of my arms, i.e., a weekend of yard work involving raking, pruning, hedge trimming, and weeding; several days of wall and trim painting, moving heavy boxes, etc. Additionally, this problem also began to occur after a few hours of typing at the computer and while driving. The numbness had become so persistent and uncomfortable that it was regularly interrupting my sleep. Upon consultation with Steve, he explained what he thought the source of the problem was and I embarked upon a series of once weekly acupuncture treatments. I felt relief from the numbness after the first treatment. This condition has continued to improve after each treatment. I am sleeping much better now, as the numbness occurs only infrequently and not enough to interrupt my sleep
