East-West Acupuncture Clinic
Recently, Steve has completed a program in MPT (Micro Current Positional Tuina). This is an amazing new method of relieving Pain using a mobile micro current device and pulling shortened muscles back into place. We are seeing amazing results with this. I was having a lot of pain in my left shoulder/arm.

I located Steve through my medical insurance and he was able to accommodate me that same day. Steve made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I wasn't out of pain but felt a bit better after the first visit. Let me first say that I am not much for needles. That being said Steve made me feel very comfortable.
Services
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine stainless steel needles into the body. Acupuncture treats the whole person on physical, emotional, and mental levels. Acupuncture therapy attempts to regulate what the Chinese call Qi, in simple terms to bring harmony to the body. Acupuncture effectively regulates the functions of the body and strengthens it's resistance to disease.
What happens during an acupuncture treatment? Normally an initial acupuncture session lasts one and a half hours. It starts with the patient filling out a complete health history. Next, we talk about the patient's complaints, exploring many details about his or her problems. If the problem is mainly neuromuscular (i.e. a pain) problem I will palpate the body and have the patient help me find painful spots.
The discomfort of nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as nervousness, irritability, tension and cravings can be effectively treated with Acupuncture. Properly administered Acupuncture in the context of a well planned and complete program is the only therapy which demonstrates a powerful ability to provide relief for withdrawal symptoms allowing the patient to quit smoking naturally.
Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well. Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being.
Acupuncture has been employed as a health care modality for over 5,000 years. Modern science has begun to understand the secrets of this ancient medicine with the support of new studies conducted by leading scientists, hospitals and medical research facilities from all over the world. Today, acupuncture is receiving wide acceptance as a respected, valid and effective form of health care.

East-West Acupuncture has been the most comprehensive and helpful acupuncture I have received in the Portland Metro area! Steve can do Macca, cupping, specialty massage, and more... He has been incredibly helpful in my time of need, and I am forever grateful for his care.

I have been going to the East-West Acupuncture Clinic for approx. 5 years. I have chronic back pain with intermittent sciatica. Through regular visits, We have been able to significantly reduce my back pain and nearly eliminate my sciatica. I have gone to other acupuncturists and haven't seen the results I have with Steve. I recommend him highly.

Over the past 5 years, I have sought acupuncture treatments for a variety of ailments (sciatica/back problems and shoulder/neck pain among others.) In every case I was extremely pleased with the results as I was anxious to avoid surgery and dependency on drugs.
Steve Snyder is a very talented and caring professional. I knew he was as interested in my recovery as I was, and the quality of my life was greatly improved. I would recommend Steve to anyone.

When I first walked into the clinic, I was super skeptical about acupuncture, but I was in so much pain that I was willing to try almost anything. I’m a believer now! I had forgotten what being pain free felt like. Stephen is not only excellent at finding problem spots, he’s also doing it with a great sense of humor. I highly recommend his services.

East-West Acupuncture has really addressed my need to stay focused and relaxed during a very stressful time. It just became time to try something else (acupuncture) rather than ask my doctor for another medication. When the body starts breaking down from stress, Steve's treatments are able to change body's response! I look forward to the treatments as I know I am going to feel better! The price is very affordable with or without insurance coverage!

I found this place in a time of need, I was in a great deal of pain and got an immediate appointment. Steve is a very warm person, making sure you are comfortable at all times, and walks you through what he is doing throughout the session. I have had acupuncture many times, and he is my favorite, I would recommend to anyone! An added bonus is he takes all kinds of insurance so it makes getting multiple sessions a very easy thing to do for your health.

I have been seeing Steve at East-West Acupuncture for the last few months for mild/severe lower back and hip pain. Within those few months, after treatment with Steve, the pain I was experiencing has dramatically reduced and I am able to walk, sleep and generally move without experiencing so much pain. Steve at East-West is absolutely amazing with the work he provides to his patients!

I've been seeing Steve for a year and a half for my menstrual migraines I've had monthly since I was a teenager. Over the counter headache medication never worked, and migraine medication from my doctor helped about 50% of the painful headaches, which lasted for three and a half days every month. After fine tuning the locations a few times, I'm happy to say my headaches are much improved- either lasting just a number of hours rather than days, or not having them at all! Even though I'll be moving across town in a short while, I'll still be making my monthly trips to see Steve.
