I want to say that I was skeptical about acupuncture at first. I'd been in medical training where we had to practice injections on our classmates, and I don't mind telling you that it hurt sometimes. The idea of putting needles in me all over the body was not what I was looking forward to.
I received a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia years ago and work with constant aching pain all over the body with this there are daily headaches for me. Then recently I was diagnosed with bilateral hip arthritis and bursitis and had trouble walking. This last diagnosis was the final straw for me and I called Steve in desperation. After about 6 treatments, I am walking well (unless I sit too long but it's not as long to get up as it was). The Fibromyalgia pain has lessened and the flairs that I have had are not as bad nor last as long as they did before. AND I now have the occasional headache that lasts for a day maybe and is easily treated with a Tylenol or aspirin. (before these OTCs would just take the edge of the pain away). The intensity being less than 1/2 of the original headaches.
I am definitely a convert for acupuncture!!! Thank You Steve for showing me what it can do.
Steve, I hope this is what you were looking for! and the best thing… it's all the truth.

I've been treated by Steve Phillips for chronic bursitis of the hip, diabetes, depression and various other aches and pains for several years. Many times I've walked into his clinic near tears, but I always leave pain-free and with a smile on my face. Steve takes time to listen to my troubles and ensures that the area being treated feels better.
