I had believed my only option was arthroscopic surgery.  The MRI had revealed  significant medial tear in the meniscus-the cause of the pain and swelling in my knee. Since the knee had become locked, I did not think twice about scheduling surgery. I had been treated by another acupuncturist with no improvement so I was skeptical that Steve could help me but a family member insisted I had nothing to lose by seeing a practitioner who utilized another style of… Read more »

“After being hit with a polo ball my right elbow became swollen and painful. I really thought that given the nature of the injury, being hit by a polo ball at 130 mph, that I would have had a longer recovery. After just one acupuncture treatment, the swelling went down to almost normal and two days later, the elbow was normal and the pain was gone. I recommend acupuncture to all my friends. It was a remarkable recovery!” ¬Arno Mares,… Read more »

“Due to past surgery, I have chronic swelling of the anterior tibialis muscle and knee pain in my left leg. After my first treatment, the swelling and pain were greatly diminished plus I felt very relaxed and I slept great. Whenever the swelling returns, I go for an acupuncture treatment and the swelling goes down every time. I highly recommend Steven for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and swelling.” ¬Charleene B. O’Connor, Fitness Director/Trainer, Clay New York ,NY

“I feel extremely lucky to have Steven Gordon as a Health Practitioner. He is there when you need him, he’s easy to relate with and quite simply, he’s good! His treatments convinced me, Surgery is not the only way to deal with Fibroid Tumors. He has kept the Fibroid’s symptoms and side effects to a minimum. Much to my GYN’s dismay and grudging respect, the tumors shrunk considerably—from 16 weeks in size to 10 weeks—with his treatments and herbs. We… Read more »

“I came to see Steven after I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy by my Medical Doctor. The left side of my face was numb and drooping and I had considerable pain in the back of my head. I was told that because I entered treatment quickly that my prognosis was excellent. I saw results after my first treatment and after several more treatments, the numbness, pain and drooping was gone. It is now six months later and I am completely… Read more »

“I came to Steven with two ovarian cysts which bothered me for about a year. I think most women know what kind of pain they could cause and that usually is followed by an operation. Nevertheless, I decided to try some non-traditional methods of getting well: acupuncture and Chinese herbology. Steven told me that in my case Chinese Medicine takes some time before you notice that you are healthy, but it’s worth it because you actually not only get rid… Read more »

“I thought you’d like to hear the prognosis on my stiff neck issue. You will recall you convinced me to try four sessions very close together over an 8-day period to try to ‘break the pattern.’ Well, your strategy WORKED!! I must say I was troubled after the final treatment. Twenty four hours after my last treatment, my arm began to throb and ache just as it had during treatment—or even more. But it passed gradually over the next few… Read more »

“After 3 years of trying to conceive and two 2 IVF procedures, I still could not get pregnant. I had been waking up everyday with headaches and low energy and I was depressed and easily stressed. I was at the end of my rope but I didn’t want to give up. Someone told me that acupuncture and Chinese medicine was sometimes successful when medical procedures were not. I found my way to the Flatiron Acupuncture Center and to Steven Gordon… Read more »

“For the past five years my periods have been irregular, I had profuse bleeding with dark clots and a pre-menstrual discharge. My depression and anxiety had worsened since surgery in 2001 and my periods were becoming more frequent. As I am already in my fifties, I thought this was the beginning of menopause. But after three months of treatment with acupuncture and Chinese herbs, I now have no menstrual symptoms for the first time in 10 years and my depression… Read more »

“I started seeing Steven a year and a half ago and was not ovulating monthly. Within weeks I noticed a vast improvement in both my physical and mental health. Acupuncture and all its benefits helped my body and mind cope with a very rigorous IVF cycle. Without Steven’s help and knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine I would not be where I am today—5 months pregnant. I am convinced it was one of the leading factors in my successful… Read more »
