Welcome

Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine

Specializing in pain management, digestive health, mental-emotional balancing, as well as, holistic treatment for the entire family.  Acupuncture With Steve offers safe, effective, drug-free therapies that can assist the body’s natural healing process.

Private (house-call) Services

Acupuncture With Steve began with the simple concept of bringing acupuncture and Chinese Medicine directly to the patient. With discretion being a primary consideration for many of Steve’s high-profile patients, providing acupuncture, herbal and nutritional consultations, and qi gong movement therapy in a private, comfortable, non-medical environment helps set the tone for a more convenient, relaxing, and therapeutic experience.

Acupuncture With Steve caters to music, TV, and film professionals in the privacy and comfort of their home, office, set, hotel, or most any location.  Services are also available to anyone who prefers to experience acupuncture therapy in a location of their discretion.

Acupuncture With Steve services the general Los Angeles area, with many of Steve’s patients residing in Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel Air, Holmby Hills, and adjacent neighborhoods.

Acupuncture

I feel like this was a life changing experience that has helped me in other areas of bodywork I use for medical treatments. I recommend trying this doctor 100%!

— M. G.

Fine, sterile needles are placed at specific locations on the arms, legs, and head to stimulate the peripheral and central nervous system to regulate pain, inflammation, and various internal disorders such as poor digestion, insomnia, stress and anxiety.

Specifically, acupuncture has a profound effect on the various physiological systems by exciting or calming the “fight or flight” and “rest and digest” wings of the Autonomic Nervous System.

The classical style of acupuncture that Steve practices utilizes points on the arms/hands (below the elbows), legs/feet (below the knees), and head/ears. This allows the patient to experience acupuncture treatments without having to disrobe or wear a gown.

Qigong

Gentle movements, coordinated with the breath, are performed standing, sitting, or lying down to strengthen the entire body, relieve muscular tension and pain, improve digestion, increase circulation and cardiovascular health, reduce stress, stimulate the immune system, increase sexual arousal and functioning, boost energy and stamina, increase youthfulness and longevity, develop emotional stability and a more positive approach to life.

The movements, which are gentle enough to be performed at any age and at any fitness level, are very easy to learn and can be effortlessly incorporated into your daily routine.

Qi Gong compliments Acupuncture therapy by addressing the mind-body complex through a systematic, active approach that will empower you to take charge of your health.
