Steve has helped me over the years with my TMJ, headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, trigger finger, allergies, and I'm likely missing something. He is truly gifted, kind, professional, funny, and I recommend him all the time.

I HAVE BEEN GOING TO STEVE FOR MANY YEARS. HE IS EXCELLENT IN TREATING ALL TYPES OF PAIN, FROM NECK, BACK, FOOT, AND SCIATICA PAIN. HE IS THOROUGH AND DETAILED IN HIS TECHNIQUES. HE KNOWS HIS ACCUPUNCTURE. AN UPDATE ON A RECENT VISIT WITH STEVE. I HAD CONSTANT PAIN IN THE HIP GROIN AREA. AFTER THOROUGH RESEARCH THE POSSIBLE PAIN AREAS. HE ACCURATELY FOUND THE TROUBLED SPOTS AND USED HIS TECHNIQUES TO ELIMINATE ALOT OF THE SWELLING. AGAIN ANOTHER EXCELLENT VISIT WITH STEVE PHILLIPS

Steve's been a lifesaver. I started seeing him more than 15 years ago. He's treated shoulder, knee, and back injuries for me, so that I could return to lifting, running, skiing, etc. He's also treated me for high blood pressure, eliminating the need for medication. Steve's the best.

I highly recommend Steve Phillips and his acupuncture services. My family has been seeking his expertise for over 20 years now! He has assisted me personally, in healing from a horrible car accident in 2005 and most recently, after a pretty excruciating tailbone injury sustained during child birth this year. In 2 sessions, I felt so much better. His knowledge and professionalism is just incredible! My father has come in literally crawling from a back injury and within hours of seeing Steve, he was up and functioning again! I can't recommend Steve and his acupuncture service enough!

Simply the best in my 20-year quest for pain relief. I hurt my back at work and subsequently had multiple surgeries, which didn't really help because my pain level remained high. Western medicine had little to offer other than drug therapy. I have found I consistently get my best pain relief from Steve's acupuncture. His treatments have been more effective than those of others I have tried.

I was having nerve issues that caused my hand and foot to fall asleep and go limp frequently. I went to see Steve, and he spent a lot of time identifying possible causes to make sure he selected the right treatment plan. Each week he assessed my progress to determine if he should adjust the plan. He was clear with me that if I did not improve after 3-4 sessions, I should go see someone else because he did not want to waste my money if he could not figure out the cause of my issues.

I really respected that. That was unnecessary because I improved each week. After 7-8 sessions, we have moved to an "as needed" basis. I will be sure to call Steve if I have any flare ups in the future.
