Pain

Pain is incredibly common, and is a leading cause for missed work and diminished quality of life. Some pain is acute, directly linked to a specific injury and of a limited duration. Other pain is chronic, severely limiting life activities for months or even years. Western medicine has long struggled to treat pain with a combination of harsh drugs and physical therapy, but has achieved only mixed results. In addition, some of the medications that showed the most promise in relieving pain have been pulled from the market due to their dangerous side effects. Fortunately, there is another solution.

Acupuncture has been a key component in Eastern medicine for thousands of years, and is gaining acceptance among Western physicians as well. Safe, effective, and painless, acupuncture is approved by both the NIH (National Institute of Health) and the WHO (World Health Organization) for many applications.

Emotional

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is normal and healthy for an individual to experience all emotions in moderation - joy, anger, worry, fear, and sadness. If we experience too much, too little, or repress an emotion, this disrupts the balance in an individual’s overall health. The effect of disordered emotions on the body and mind can cause a wide range of issues like gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, heart palpitations, dizziness, hyperactivity, anxiety, and depression. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs can help correct these imbalances in a natural manner by balancing neurotransmitter levels to promote a feeling of well-being.

Women's Health

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is effective healthcare for women throughout all phases of life. It is successful at restoring the body’s hormonal balance by acting on the Hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis. Studies have shown that by acting on the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis—the link between your central nervous system and endocrine system, Acupuncture along with Chinese herbs, diet & lifestyle modifications can help rebalance hormone levels.

TCM is also very effective at treating stress and anxiety that is so common in the lives of today’s women. Consistent acupuncture treatments can lower cortistol levels ( stress hormone) and reset the nervous system resulting in a feeling of well-being and calm. Consistent acupuncture treatments leave you feeling renewed and rested.

Testimonial Summary

“Today was my 10th acupuncture session with Reagan at Balance Houston Acupuncture Clinic, and she is truly wonderful. This has been my first acupuncture experience, and I have been going once per week (focused on fertility). I am not a fan (at all!) of needles, but the way Reagan treats you throughout the process is not only beyond professional, but she is really gentle and cares so much about how you feel. I highly recommend this clinic, and most definitely recommend Reagan!”

“Very grateful indeed for the acupuncture session I received for digestive issues. I felt so much better afterwards, a welcomed improvement. I would definitely recommend this practice. The desk staff are amazing and efficient, making you feel welcome and comfortable. A gem of a clinic!”

“I had been suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) for a month and had tried everything from the Epley maneuver multiple times to seeing a chiropractor to just giving it time. My last resort was acupuncture, and I got complete relief after two sessions. Cannot recommend Stephen enough!”

“Reagan has been helping manage my anxiety through acupuncture and has made a world of difference for me. I've seen changes that medication and therapy haven't been able to achieve. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Steve is a passionate and dedicated care provider. He's constantly learning and expanding his skills. As a birth worker, I am well-acquainted with Steve's work in pregnancy. I can confidently send my clients to Steve for issues from nausea to labor preparation and know that he will provide sensitive care to help their bodies reach optimal health. I now recommend acupuncture with Steve to all my clients as a part of a healthy pregnancy.”

“Can’t recommend Reagan and Steve enough! Very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. Going through a long journey and felt so much support throughout the process by Steve. Always flexible appointments, positive mindset & very professional. Will continue to see him!”

“Dr. Stein is so rare in the world of doctors! First, he really listens to you, and respects your ideas and opinions, he is very integrative, not closed minded at all! Then he delivers... he does what he says he will do!! I have multiple health issues that he has helped or eliminated, from allergies or small injuries to high blood pressure and diabetes!”

The desk staff are amazing and efficient, both Desiree and Briana make you feel welcome and comfortable. A gem of a clinic !”

“I’ve been going to Balance Houston for just about a year now and am so thankful for Steve’s expertise. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and explain his process. I originally tried acupuncture for my headaches, which it has drastically helped, but it also helps with my anxiety and sleeping issues. I can’t recommend Steve enough!”

“I have been seeing Stephen for more than a year. I have chronic skin eczema and my body is prone to respond to humidity, weather changes, stress, food, air pollution... all kinds of stuff. I get stiff shoulder, headaches, stuffed nose, itchy eyes, depression, etc... His treatments always help me go through various symptons and discomforts that come from those factors. I used to take anti-histamine and topical steroid for my skin, but now I don't need to do. Steve is so easy to talk with and can treat my symptoms always very well even though they are so different each time.”
