Steve is an excellent acupuncturist who is attentive, knowledgeable, and easy going. I see him monthly and have gone into his office, on a few occasions, in need of relief due to chronic back pain, sciatica, and other joint issues. He has approached the issues with a variety of treatments. Each time I have left feeling better, feeling relief! I feel fortunate to be able to receive acupuncture from him on a regular basis! read more

Steve was great made me feel completely at ease and I felt relief after just one session for golfers elbow .

I have been suffering from chronic lower back pain and it got extremely bad, then I found Steve and it's been an incredible change. Unlike other methods like massage, chiropractic, and yoga, his treatment provided long-lasting relief. Steve listened to my needs and tailored the sessions to what was going on. His knowledge of the body and attention to detail really showed, leaving me physically rejuvenated after each visit. What's best is each day after treatment I felt better and better, which is not usually the case with other options. I highly recommend Steve for anyone seeking effective relief from lower back pain or any other ailment. Thank you for restoring my well-being! read more

I have genetic peripheral neuropathy in my feet, which means my feet are basically numb. Neurologists can't do much for me, so I gave acupuncture a try. Steve's services have made a huge difference in my neuropathy. I have gotten some feeling back and I feel much more stable on my feet. He has also helped with some random gout/bunion pain. Steve is a pleasure to work with; he's funny, knowledgable, compassionate and honest. I am so glad I found this place! If you're in doubt, just try it. You will be singing "tingle bells" before long! : ) read more

I just have to give Steve a shout out for his expertise in acupuncture. I was experiencing horrible hip and back pain. Every time I moved I would be in excruciating pain that made it difficult to walk. I thought I needed a hip replacement but with only 3 visits with Steve I am miraculously pain free! He knows what he's doing and doesn't expect you to come in for the rest of your life be fixed! That was the best news for me. I know I can call him with any of my physical ailments from now on and most likely be fixed. read more

Steve's expertise in acupuncture has helped me immensely! I had never tried acupuncture before, but after suffering a work injury where I herniated 2 discs with nerve impingement, I made an appointment to see Steve. I'm so grateful to say my back pain has decreased and my leg weakness/numbness has subsided. Every session improves my overall health, decreases my pain, and makes me feel like I'm floating on a cloud. Thank you Steve! read more

I started seeing Steve back in May of this year. I went to him to treat residual side effects from a double middle ear infection in my ears. I was having pressure issues and horrible tinnitus. He told me he could help me which was music to my ears (no pun intended) and I really appreciated how he took the time to explain his treatment plan for me. Not to mention he has an amazing bedside manner and really has that care factor for his patients. I started seeing results within the first month of my treatment! He has really helped me immensely and I highly recommend him to anyone in search of Eastern remedies for their issues/concerns. He is amazing! read more

I went to Steve for years until he left the country for a while. Upon finding out he had returned - I made a point to contact him. In the past he has helped me with my sinus problems, back pain, injury to a knee, and other things. He is kind, efficient, professional, but great to talk to in a relaxed way. Go see him - it will do you good. His new location is very nice, clean, and relaxing. read more

I started seeing Steve for pregnancy related pains. I was suffering from awful lower back pain that made it difficult to get up from a seated position, bend over, or even just move around in general. I also was suffering from the worst heartburn I've ever experienced that caused radiating pain from my chest up through my left shoulder blade. I was a little skeptical as I had never received acupuncture treatment before, but he has been able to alleviate all my original pains and any additional pains that have come up. Anytime I come to him with a new complaint (most recently neck and hip pain) he is able to resolve them. I have been telling all of my friends about Steve's healing, especially all my newly pregnant friends. Thanks Steve for making this pregnancy a little less difficult by alleviating these pregnancy aches and pains. I also suffer from lupus, and I plan on returning to him post pregnancy with any lupus symptoms that come up. I would also like to add that I've been seeing Steve even through the pandemic. I feel safe attending his clinic because he always sanitizes everything right in front of me, so I know everything is clean. I'm also swept away into my own private room as soon as I arrive. I feel completely comfortable being at Steve's clinic, even as a pregnant high-risk person. read more

Conventional Western medicine had failed me. Now what? I spent a small fortune on two naturopaths in Sacramento as well as two other holistic practitioners in the Bay Area, and they couldn't fix me either. I was tired of trying to find a solution to my health challenges. I felt my situation was hopeless. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired! One day while doing some research on the Internet on my various health issues, I came across Steve Phillips' name listed under acupuncture therapists. I had never tried acupuncture before, but I was so miserable I figured what do I have to lose, since I've tried everything else. During my first appointment with Steve I told him I was suffering from fatigue, malaise, digestive problems, candida albicans and thyroid problems. No wonder nobody could help me as that's quite a list. Steve and I talked for awhile and he took my history. He took the time to really listen to me and then quickly mapped out a treatment plan specifically for my needs. He recommended treating the candida with anti-fungals/Chinese herbs but everything else he treated with acupuncture. I'm not the same tired and depressed person that I was the first time I walked into Steve's clinic. My energy levels have greatly improved and I have a greater sense of overall well being. My stomach problems have improved and continue to get better. Life is worth living again! I wasted so much money on outrageously over-priced "natural" supplements that did nothing when the answer I was looking for all along was in the power of a few tiny needles. Steve knows exactly where and how to place each needle to make me feel better and bring healing. And the best part of all.... It doesn't hurt! :-) I've counseled with many health practitioners in the past few years but none of these people displayed the genuine compassion that Steve has for his patients. I feel so safe and comfortable talking with Steve because he really listens to my concerns and never passes judgment. He is extremely intelligent, intuitive and gifted at his life work. Another great plus: Steve has a wonderful sense of humor. I appreciate that he is open-minded, supportive, professional and willing to go that extra mile if needed. Thank you, Steve Phillips. I appreciate you so very much for giving me my life back! Susan H. Sacramento read more

I have never had acupuncture done till I started visiting Steve Phillips at Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Clinic. He explains why you would have acupuncture in terms I would understand. He put me at ease from the first day I started visiting him. Steve has really helped with my migraine headaches, as well as the pain that I have in my lower back. He has a great sense of humor and always a joy to visit. I see Steve just about once a week now and have started seeing improvements in my pain level. I would totally recommend Steve for anyone who has never had acupuncture before! read more

Steve was my first practitioner and he saved my life. I couldn't walk without two canes, couldn't breath and was on massive amounts of opiates just to tolerate the pain. After three months of treatment by Steve was able to move to the next levels of my treatment plan. He is a caring, intuitive caregiver and I recommend him highly read more

Steve is great! I have pressure and pain from time to time and he always relieves it in just a few sessions, if not just one. He's amazing. One of the tables that I was on (facing down) had reminants of saliva from a previous patient so cleanliness is my only complaint. read more

I've had amazing results from my acupuncture sessions with Steve. He's professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I've been suffering for many years with back pain and Fibromyalgia. After years of taking too many meds that didn't work I decided to seek treatment beyond what my medical doctors prescribed. I'm so glad I found Steve as he has the experience and knowledge of Fibromyalgia symptoms and how to best treat them. My pain level has decreased from a consistent 6 to about 2. There have been many times where I could barely walk and his treatments have been very helpful in my recovery. We've resolved a lot of the back pain I've carried with me for the last 40 years. My fibromyalgia symptoms have lessened considerably; very mild to no nerve pain; completely resolved painful neuropathy in my toes and fingers; and I have tons more energy. Absolutely, I would recommend Steve for pain management. read more

I have been a patient of Steve Phillips for about two years now. I have recently been in a health crises involving the immune system, that has been helped greatly by the treatments I have had from him. In the past I've gone to him with spasms in my arm muscle that were immediately stopped as if I had experienced a miracle. I did not have to miss work or file a disability case due to the healing that took place with just one acupuncture treatment. I highly recommend Steve Phillips as an acupuncturist. His gentle doctor manner is also greatly appreciated. read more

I came to Steve barely able to walk in his office from a back injury,2-3 acupuncture visits later I was walking straight .6 visits later and I'm virtually pain free.He is not only smart,calm and just a personably acupuncturist,he is easy to talk to and will do what it takes to fix you and I am not just saying this. Thank you Steve,you are a super knowledgeable guy who helped me. read more

Steve received my migraine headache. I had been suffering for at least a month with a stubborn migraine headache that was not relieved by anything- ANYTHING. But treatment with Steve helped to lessen the pain on the first visit and then get rid of it altogether from subsequent visits. I'm a RN by trade and am now a firm believer in this practice. Western medicine is not a cure all. It's worth a try if you suffer from chronic pain, migraine headaches like me, or even GI upset (which he also helped to improve for me). Seriously, It's worth a try. His prices are really reasonable and he accepts insurance (I have WHA and he took that). read more

I was hurt badly in a motorcycle accident in October where I suffered a brain injury and lost my left leg. Suffering from pain and the "phantom" leg issues my wonderful wife brought me here to see Steve. He is excellent in the way of acupuncture and within my first visit he had rid me of 95% of my "phantom" leg issues and also helped me with my long suffering mid back pain. I would highly recommend this place to anyone else who wants to be on a path to pain freedom and off those unwanted pain meds! read more

This review is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overdue! This man is AMAZING! I was referred to Steve from a coworker. I had Plantar Fasciitis years ago. I went to the Dr's then the specialist. They suggested surgery and medication. I went to Steve with an open mind and he told me in about 3 sessions he could help with my pain. After ONE SESSION IT WAS GONE! I couldn't believe it! Fast forward to a few years later my finger went numb and i started having a terrible pain in my arm. I ended up not being able to move both arms. I went to the Dr and they told me I had damaged my "nerve highways". They recommended a specialist. So I went to Steve! Within 4 sessions NO MORE PAIN! The great thing about Steve is that he is professional but also has a great sense of humor. He makes you feel so comfortable, really takes his time and seems to truly care. What a great guy! read more

I started receiving care from Steve Phillips at Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Clinic after foot surgery, and although the surgery was initially successful, I still had lingering pain making it difficult to walk. Steve cured my foot problem, and has given me excellent care every since which has included sinsus issues, knee problems, anxiety, as well as other issues as they have cropped up. Now my husband sees Steve weekly for a foot issue he has been experiencing for several months, and my husband is seeing positive results. I give Steve five stars for excellent care, knowledge and treatment and I have recommended Steve to several of my friends and coworkers. read more

I had never had acupuncture before, but after waking up one morning with a painful and stiff neck and severely limited range of motion which wasn't improving after four days, I figured it couldn't hurt to try acupuncture. I just did a quick internet search for practitioners in my area and found this office. I liked that he's been in business for 23 years and that it wasn't too far from my house (driving was difficult). Had my first treatment on a Monday, saw a tiny bit of improvement that evening. Saw him again on Tuesday, and things really started resolving after that. By my final visit on Thursday, one week after I'd woken up in pain, my neck was 95% better! Highly recommend this business, Steve is very personable and knows what he's doing. read more

Once every couple years I get hit with back spasms that flatten me for about a week. I limped into Steve's studio on the verge of passing out with pain and he methodically isolated the problem before explaining what was going on, it fit what I was feeling. He explained his strategy in a way that I understood before we began. I have had some unfortunate sticks in the past but all I felt was the tap of Steve's fingers before the insertion as I melted, slobbering on his table. I was in the hands of an experienced veteran. Two days later I was on a hiking trail. STEVE! read more

There aren't enough stars for Dr. Phillips! I've been going to acupuncturists for over twenty years, and with the exception of one acupuncturist, I've had all my medical woes cured. Within the first week of seeing Dr. Phillips, I began to lose the arthritic knee pain; three months later, I've stopped all pain medication; I jog 1 hour five mornings a week (instead of hobbling for a half hour), and my citrus allergy is gone. Dr. Phillips takes all kinds of insurance programs, so the cost isn't much for those with insurance. It's actually cheaper to pay for a good acupuncturist, than to suffer with pain and sickness. Generally, doctors will just treat the symptoms with medication, rather than cure the maladies. When you take medications, they can bring on other woes; then you have to take medications for the new woes; then all the medications fight with one another. Lose the medications, and get right to the root of the problem. With acupuncture. read more
