Got me to quit smoking w acupuncture. And I was a real addict!

I have been going to see Stephanie Lum for years. She is the only one that was able to give me relief from severe allergy problems. Ive also noticed that she is able to calm my nervous system, when Im anxious about something major going on. Although Im not keen on needles, Stephanie’s needles go in and Im able to get into a deep relaxation and sleep while I wait for the needles to be removed. She is kind and generous with information, never rushed. You always feel like her most important patient. I highly recommend her!

Stephanie helped me with my overall «blah» feeling and helped get me back on track with my energy level. I go back every now and then for little tune ups and to destress. I appreciate her advice and thoughtfulness and her nice relaxing atmosphere.

I decided to try acupuncture about a year ago after having seen the positive results from my dog’s experiences. A friend recommended Stephanie to me after i complained of chronic neck, shoulder and back pain (i also see a chiropractor on a regular basis). The relief I felt after the first session is like nothing i’ve ever experienced… my body felt light for the first time in years! I’ve continued to see Stephanie and I’m always impressed that she can tell what my body needs by just lookng at me and feeling my pulse! I highly recommend her.

Stephanie has bailed me out 3 or 4 times on short notice. It seems just when I want to go on a trip, that my old sciatic nerve down my let leg acts up. Usually one treatment with Stephanie calms it down considerably and eventually eliminates it. I went for 8 months the first time until I finally decided to give acupunture a try after Chiropractic, PT and pain meds — should have went sooner.

i went to see stephanie when i was having trouble sleeping and pains in my neck. literally after the first session i felt major improvement. she also gave lots of good health tips and practices that i’ve made part of my daily routione. steve c.

Dr. Stephanie Lum helped save my life. I say this jokingly but I was in some serious pain from a herniated disc that had been bothering me on and off for over two years. The latest bout had me writhing in pain at night and unable to walk 100 feet with out having to stop to regroup. I was referred to Dr. Lum by my boss who also had lower back pain that was cured by Dr. Lum. After 1 session I was probably 85% better. Not in my wildest dreams did I expect this to happen. It did return though and I had to see Dr. Lum about once or twice a week for about a month and a half in addition to intense physical therapy and chiropractic work, but it helped tremendously in my overall recovery and I am now about 95% better. Dr. Lum is overwhelmingly kind and is the one who referred me to an awesome chiropractor/​physical therapist, Dr. Zach Brantner in San Francisco, who was also integral to my recovery. THANK YOU DR. LUM!

I can’t recommend Stephanie highly enough!
I’ve recently gone to Stephanie for lower back pain that had me so crippled that I almost couldn’t get out of bed. After two treatments (price is quite reasonable), it has gone from a major issue to a minor one. (I’m headed for a third treatment today.)
Needless to say, she is a skilled practitioner. She is also a kind and caring human being. Sessions with her are incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating. I recommend her with reservation!

I have been going to Stephanie Lum for over 3 years. I went to her originally for arthritis in my thumb. A hand specialist said that I needed surgery, and I wanted to find other alternatives. After a couple of months with Stephanie, I have no more pain in my thumb! I continue to go for periodic treatment, and it is the most relaxing time of my day. Stephanie is the best.

Stephanie Lum is the practitioner. She is funny and kind. She originally was a respiratory therapist so she knows her western medicine, but practices eastern medicine now. I valued her reminders that my body is one working organism, so you can’t just focus on your arm when it’s your arm that hurts– you need to look at the rest of your body too. Anyhow I felt she genuinely cared about my well being in every sense of the word. I highly recommend her. Oh yeah, and she has those new acupuncture face-​lifts. I’ve heard they’re great!
