Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
In November of 2008, I came down with plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinitis. I was getting ready to start training in January 2009 for my first 100-mile endurance run (www.ws100.com), the premier 100-mile ultra. From January 1st through June 27th, training harder than I've ever trained before, averaging 70 + miles per week, and running anywhere from a 50K to a 100K per weekend, you kept me pain-free and helped the healing process. I crossed the finish line after running 29 hours and 25 minutes on June 28th at 10:25 AM. PAIN FREE for 100 miles!!
Thank you so much for helping me achieve my goal.

I am a runner who recently had to cease doing what I love doing due to plantar fasciitis. During a 1/2 marathon, around mile 11, I began experiencing a tremendous amount of pain in my left foot. I finished the race, but could barely walk. I could put no pressure on my heel whatsoever. Although I iced the affected area, took ibuprofen, elevated & "babied" my foot, I felt no relief to the constant pain. I was not interested in conventional methods of treatment, e.g. cortisone injections, so I decided to try acupuncture. I'd never had acupuncture before, so did not know what to expect.
I was pleasantly surprised that my foot felt approximately 50% better after the first treatment. After the second treatment, my pain level was about 10% of what it had been. Now, after my third treatment, I'm back running again! I was astonished to see such a rapid rate of response to acupuncture treatment. I am now quite a proponent of acupuncture & will share my story with anyone who asks (and even some who don't!).
Thank you,

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

Steve Phillips with his athletic savvy and acupuncture talents has kept me in the best possible condition I need to not only work, but to enjoy life to its fullest. My immune system is better than it's been in years as well as my general health and energy level. His practice combines a kind concern with a no nonsense view towards health care that is quite refreshing. I certainly recommend it strongly.
Sincerely,

Steve Phillips is, hands down, the best acupuncturist that I have ever worked with. I come to him when I am injured or out of balance, and I have referred several clients to him, as he is very knowledgeable when it comes to treating sports-related injuries.

I have been seeing Steve Phillips for Acupuncture since he moved to this area in 1991. His treatments always help me feel more balanced and energized. Steve has helped me at times after various injuries and I always feel better after his treatments. I would recommend him to anyone.

My name is Eric. I injured my back in a work related injury in 1989. From 1989 to 2004, I was in continuous back and neck pain. I tried physical therapy, medications, chiropractic treatment, but nothing seemed to work. In 2004 I heard about Steve Phillips Acupuncture Clinic and decided to give it a try. After the first treatment I felt instant relief. I could not believe that after two more more treatments, I did not experience any more pain in my back and neck for over a year. In my time off work, I help coach high school baseball. I've been so impressed with Steve Phillips' Acupuncture Clinic, I have recommended several athletes and their parents, as well as co-workers. Not one of my recommendations have come back with negative results. I would recommend Steve Phillips to any one who has physical ailments.

A nagging hip-flexor injury had made lifting weights very uncomfortable for me. I tried a number of different treatment options, but none were successful until I visited Steve Phillips. His experience and expertise led to an acupuncture method that was highly effective. Shortly after my visit to Steve's clinic, I was able to resume my weight-training program without experiencing any pain. Needless to say, I was tremendously pleased!
