I have battled depression, chronic insomnia and back pain as long as I can remember. Doctors couldn't explain the extent of my problems, neither give me medication that would alleviate my symptoms. I was taken 13 different pills a day, to the point that doctors decided to quit prescribing me medication. Nothing helped!

I approached Steve Phillips last February/2008 when I read an article about acupuncture and its amazing results. At first, I have to say, I wasn't very sure about it as many doctors couldn't find what was wrong with me, but since I had already given up on traditional medicine, I thought: Why not? What else is there to lose?

First consultation with Steve was a blessing by itself. He spent the longest time just listening to my complains and with great kindness he smiled to me and said not to worry because he was going to help me. I asked about the length of the treatment, having in mind that my doctors treated me for 15 years without success, and Steve calmly answered me that it would take five sessions. I was in dismay, but I was willing to try anything that promised me relief.

Well, I do have to report that Steve was wrong about it. I felt visibly better after the first session. In the second session, my back pain seemed to have vanished. My third session gave me my first night with 8 hours of sound sleep in the last 15 years. My fourth session brought me so much peace and tranquility that I thought I had finally found the cure. After that I felt so much better that I didn't go back to see Steve for another seven months. Yes, it took less than the predicted five weeks, but hey, no complains there!

Last week I went to see Steve again to balance out my energy as I was getting quite stressed and my back started to hurt again. I had a great session and my back pain and stress vanished a couple hours later. I am happy to report that I no longer take any medications, haven't had any deppression episode since February, my sleep pattern is 70% better and I had no back pain at all until last week. Acupuncture is an amazing technique that truly works, and Steve is a natural healer. I highly recommend him to everyone, who just like me, is looking for real healing.

While training for a half marathon I began to experience a constant pain in my upper hamstring. The pain became so bad I was unable to bend over. After my first acupuncture treatment with Steve I noticed a remarkable difference and after the third was experiencing no pain at all. I have been able to consistently train for several different races with no problems whatsoever.

Acupuncture has also helped me sleep better at night. I no longer wake up during the night and when I get up in the morning I feel refreshed and am able to accomplish more during the day.

Thanks for everything, Steve! Molly K., Female, age 30-35

 

Through my sessions of acupuncture with Steve Phillips, I have experienced health benefits beyond my expectation. Having never experienced acupuncture for myself, and yet hearing what benefits others had received, I decided to give acupuncture a try. When I consulted Steve Phillips for treatments, I was experiencing difficulty with sleep, with waking up feeling tired and lethargic, with puffy eye areas, worsening menstrual cycle symptoms, and a general feeling of malaise. I had tried over the counter and prescription medications for help with these areas, but my symptoms were not resolving, they were getting worse. I changed my diet to mostly vegetarian, exercised, and sought to decrease stress in my daily life, and yet, I still wasn't really "up to par". I increased exercise, only to find that I still continued with my symptoms, and in fact, stopped the exercise all together because my energy levels declined to an all time low. It was at this time that I met Steve Phillips and began to participate in acupuncture therapy for a period of a few weeks. Since that time I have had the first PMS free cycle I have had in 20 years, my eyes are not puffy, the malaise is mostly gone, I am exercising again.

Throughout the course of my treatment with herbal supplements and acupuncture treatments from Steve Phillips, I have been impressed with his consistent and calm nature and with his thorough approach in assisting others through his practice. I feel that Steve has helped me to move into a recovery that is a "milestone" experience for my health. Steve's experience and expertise made all the difference. I also brought my daughter to Steve's clinic for help with her cigarette smoking addiction. She has stopped smoking, and has never said one word about missing the cigarettes. I am thankful to know that in this busy world, that there are still practitioners and health advocates who really make a difference, in the lives of people like me, who just want to know better health and to feel well.

Thanks to you for reading my testimonial, I hope that it may encourage you today, and that if you the reader may benefit from acupuncture treatments, I hope that you find a practitioner with excellence such as I did, someone who can assist you into your better health. Thanks also to Steve Phillips, for a job well done. I feel very comfortable recommending him to my close friends, and to my family.

My experience with Steve at the acupuncture clinic has been very positive. On the advice of a friend I sought out an acupuncturist for the treatment of anxiety as well as insomnia. Each session, along with being extremely calming in and of itself, has contributed to what I've noticed has been a real decline in my anxiety and an increase in my ability to sleep well and through the night. I'm so pleased with the results and I definitely recommend it to others with anxiety and insomnia. And as a side note to those who may be anxious about just receiving acupuncture, relax! It's a very calming experience!
