Acupuncture is a time tested, safe and effective treatment for both acute and chronic pain. Whether you have a fresh injury or have been dealing with pain for decades, acupuncture can help. At Balance Acupuncture & Natural Medicine are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest level of care.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine have been used for literally thousands of years to improve hormonal balance and promote natural fertility. In the last two decades scientific research has revealed the mechanisms by which this ancient form of medicine can be so helpful in the modern epidemic of infertility.
Chinese medicine has been used for centuries in the treatment of women's health. The tools that this ancient medicine has developed can help to improve the vast majority of hormonal imbalances, from painful periods to menopause. When functioning as intended the hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle are a beautifully orchestrated web of communication between your brain and your body.
Our approach to treating your migraines or chronic headaches, takes into account the functioniong of your body as a whole. It's not usually a single imbalance but multiple factors that work together to trigger your headaches. We address the physical components such as neck and jaw tension right alongside the systemic components like hormone imbalance, stress and allergies.

I've been going here on and off for years. Over 10 years ago, Scot cured bursitis in my shoulder with a couple of treatments. I'd been getting steroid shots into the shoulder joint when it got bad for two years before seeing him. Since, no problems, and I am very active (weight lifting, martial arts, general silliness). Recently, I lost hearing in one ear after a diving incident. I'd been deaf and on steroids for 6 days, thought to try acupuncture, and about 4 hours after treatment, the hearing started coming back. He's also helped with other injuries and issues, but those two were incredible successes

Scot has been an integral part of my wellness journey! I was a little hesitant to try acupuncture, but Scot calmed my fears immediately. He has a demeanor that makes you feel safe and cared about. His practice is very professional and makes scheduling (and remembering!) appointments easy. The individual rooms are private and very relaxing and the time I spend having treatment is priceless. I highly recommend Scot and Balance Acupuncture!

Unfortunately I was not able to be seen in the clinic BUT that did not stop one of the practitioners from speaking with me on the phone and walking me through every thing that I needed to do and could do for my pregnancy. He was extremely kind and even gave me products to help me despite me not be a paying patient. He had no obligation to help me but he still voluntarily took the time and I am extremely grateful for all of the help he provided and the kindness that him and his front desk staff showed me.

I have been one of Scot’s patients for several years now and am so appreciative of all that he has done to help me with my chronic pain and difficult digestive issues. Scot is extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring, kind, resourceful, helpful and is an excellent listener. I have been to eighteen different practitioners over the past six years and Scot has consistently provided excellent care and insight into what could be causing my health issues. I always get relief after my treatment sessions and also have a sense of hope that someone cares, understands and is committed to helping me

Staff was very friendly! Went in for infertility problems. I was doing my second FET(first FET didnt work). I did some research and thought I would try out out acupuncture. Started looking at Google reviews around the city and found this place, so happy that I did I am now almost 8 weeks pregnant and I do believe Scot and his team played a major role in that! Forever grateful. Would recommend to anyone.

My wife and I were dealing with infertility for years. We found that some recent literature supported positive effects of acupuncture on fertility. Then we came across Scot Taylor's clinic. Long story short... we received treatment for a few months, after which, we conceived, and now have an amazing baby girl. Scot and his staff were amazing throughout the entire process. Can't thank him enough.

This place is perfect! I visited for a few chronic issues. I practice medicine myself and can vouch that they do practice legitimately. The intake forms and initial exam are very thorough.
I've seen all 3 practitioners (Scot, Karyn and Tim) and can see that they follow the same basic principles, but each have their own spin and preferred techniques. This means that any acute/temporary type issue can definitely be addressed by any of them, but also that chronic/long-term cases can be managed by one of them or you can see them all and get slightly different techniques added that help you explore

The staff at Balance is AMAZING! I went in because I was going through the in vitro process, trying to get pregnant, and had heard that acupuncture is very beneficial for this procedure. Scot was immensely helpful in explaining exactly what the benefits were, and made me feel like I was doing something to really help my situation. I went through my procedure after attending multiple acupuncture sessions and I'm pregnant!! The staff was so accommodating and kind and made me feel so welcome in their beautiful office. I would recommend this to anyone dealing with these issues or anything else. THANK

I started visiting Scot a year ago, so I guess it's about time I write a review. I've suffered from generalized anxiety for about 30 years, and acupuncture and herbs have really helped more than anything else. I feel so fortunate to have found such a patient and understanding Chinese medicine/healing person in San Antonio. Unlike Western medicine practitioners, Scot thoroughly explains the way one's body is working and not working and how the treatment he provides can be helpful.
I HIGHLY recommend visiting Scot.
