East-West Acupuncture

Steve channels 5,000 years of acupuncture wisdom with a western, no-​nonsense nonchalance. I just returned from treatment for ankle pain and it’s already better!
I’ll go back a few more times to shore up the progress…
He helped me with back pain before… and he’s helped me again. Thanks, Steve!

I have been going to East West Acupuncture for at least ten years and plan to go for many more. Originally I went to see Steve Snyder for treatment of chronic gynecological problems. He treated me with herbs and acupuncture that helped with symptoms almost immediately. After the original symptoms subsided, I continued to get acupuncture at least once a month to prevent recurrence. I continue with acupuncture and occasionally customized herb treatment to this day, to stay healthy and to treat anything I might be dealing with, such as muscle soreness, headache or stress, Relief is almost always immediate.
The ongoing effects of regular acupuncture is indisputable. Acupuncture costs very little when compared with other medical treatment, and is an incredible value. Besides all that, I really look forward to the session, and the relaxed flowing state one enters during treatment. Understanding how acupuncture works is an important part of the mind-​body healing process, and Steve is able to describe it in a very down to earth way. Steve also has a very good sense of humor. I have had a few different insurance providers during the time that I’ve been seeing Steve, and they all cover treatment at East West. I highly recommend Steve and East West Acupuncture and herb treatment!

I have had back pain for several years. I have tried physical therapy and medications but wanted a fix for my back not a cover up. I walked by East-​West almost every day and made an appt. I was nervous that it would hurt, even though I love to get tattooed. But I felt no pain, and the great thing is, my back pain is almost all gone. I was going every 2 weeks, then 3 weeks now its been over a month and my back pain is just starting to come back. Steven is the best, he is so nice and easy going. I will be using acupuncture for everything that I need. I have told so many people my awesome success with acupuncture and have told many people to go see Steven.

My experience with acupuncture have not been very pleasant. I still have memories of painful needle insertion and the forced «exotic Asian» office decoration. I ended up with a lot of useless tinctures, herbs, and a lot more stress.
Then my work switched insurance providers, this time giving me a healthy acupuncture benefit I didn’t want to waste. Out of all the local practitioners my chiropractor pointed me to Steve and I’m happy she did. Right away I noticed his needles don’t hurt like the old place I went to, which he explained might have had to do with the quality used. When we ran into some insurance difficulties on my end he was understanding through the whole process, working with me until I managed to get it resolved. Great service, very helpful, uses a wide variety of techniques, and someone I’ve already recommended to other coworkers.
Full disclosure: He just started a program to provide a $ 5 discount for people who write positive reviews on Unilocal and Citysearch, which may seem kind of strange but I completely understand why he’s doing it. I honestly like the guy so much I’m going to refuse it, which sounds kind of cheesy but the guy has been so nice to me that I’d rather give him back the money.
