I was a skeptic at first because, I had tried another form of acupuncture and found it only helped a small amount, but my husband's back had gone out on him and he could barely walk. A friend told us about Steve Philips' acupuncture clinic and my husband had tried the chiropractor and was in even more pain, so we called Steve. We walked in with my husband bent over and in pain hoping he would walk out with less pain and better posture.

When my husband walked out straight and with less pain I was a believer and made an appointment for myself because I was suffering daily with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

I had been seeing many doctors for my issues and only resulted in taking more medication and not relieving much of the pain. After a few appointments I was amazed at how good I started feeling. With help from the acupuncture and Steve knowing just where to treat my problems, I actually started feel better than I had in years. Then when I started getting cold or started feeling bad I would call and my symptoms would disappear within a day.

Before seeing Steve I had a weekend immune system and if I caught a cold or the flu I was down for at the least a week. Now if I feel I am getting sick or I am in pain from the IC and IBS I call him have a treatment. I am either better when I walk out or within a couple of days.

I have watch co-workers, friends and family get sick and when they are on their second bottle of antibiotics or even their first I am over it and never even took any antibiotics.

I call Steve my miracle worker, I know he doesn't like to be called that, but it has helped me tremendously. I take less medication and feel healthier than ever.

If you are reading this you are on the web site and considering treatment, well I wholeheartily believe you need to call and make an appointment, walk in with an open mind and let the acupuncture work for you because it will. Once Steve listens to your reason for being there he will find the right spot and start treatment, it may take a couple of treatments, but you will be amazed at how you will feel.

In March 2006 a head doctor of a specialty clinic of a HMO referred me to Steve Phillips for monthly acupuncture treatments. For some years, I've had deteriorating degenerative disc disease that causes pain and stiffness. Over a period of some 20 years I have had a condition called IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) that causes spasms and abdominal discomfort. Acupuncturist Steve Phillips' treatments have greatly reduced these two physical conditions so that I am able to participate in gym workouts, play the piano, and continue the routine of everyday living. I am greatly indebted to Steve Phillips for the benefits I have received from his monthly treatments, and recommend this highly skilled medical professional to all those in need of pain relief and/or discomfort in everyday life.

In 2004 I began acupuncture treatments with Steve Phillips for muscle pains related to arthritis in my leg and hip. Very often I have limped into his office, and then walked out as if there had never had a problem. During those visits he would often treat a stiff neck as well as a sore thumb which was interfering with piano performances.

Sometimes he has combined treatments for carpal tunnel with a basic energy treatment which has never failed to improve my spirits. Presently, he is treating me for IBS symptoms and there has been much improvement in just three sessions. In addition, after a recent total hip replacement, he is treating my lower back (sacroiliac joint) and helping my knees to recover from misalignment pains which resulted from compensating for that worn out hip.

I am very grateful to Steve for taking away so much pain and diminishing the need for medication, and for doing so with good humor, a very caring heart, and much professionalism.

Many thanks, Steve…

I began seeing Steve Phillips for acupuncture several months ago. I visited Steve initially with great skepticism to attempt to get relief from chronic depression. I was seeking out anything contrary to the approach with which several doctors had treated me (more and more pills). I was out of hope that I could and would get any better, so I figured it was worth a try. Steve welcomed me into his clinic and demonstrated just how very intuitive he is about how the human body works. With a few questions in the first session, he had honed in on a plethora of symptoms (that all certainly contributed to my depression). I had been 'dealing with' these things, as they seemed to be a normal part of my body's functioning. I began treatment and a few short months later, my skepticism has melted into tangible relief: my digestion is better (I had very chronic IBS), my immune system is stronger, I have not had the allergy problems I typically survive through (and my chronic sinus infections are gone), I deal with stress better. I am no longer surviving as a victim of my body, but in greater harmony with it. I am all-around a more happy person, and this was no small feat! I am so very thankful that I gave Steve and acupuncture a try; I fear what I would be like today had I not.
