Services
We are a full service Oriental medicine clinic located in the Oak Hill region of Southwest Austin. We offer acupuncture, acupressure, tuina (asian bodywork), cupping therapy, herbal medicine, guasha, nutritional support, taichi and qigong. Treating a wide range of both acute and chronic conditions, our natural focus is on pain management, sports medicine, auto-immune disease and facial rejuvenation.
I started out as a kid really wanting to be a vet. I followed my vet all over the place and decided horses were the only thing worth working on. I went to Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and graduated with a BS in Anatomy and Physiology. Along the way I had discovered that I was going to have study pigs, sheep, cows and other animals and decided that maybe medicine for people was a much better idea.
Gary was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease 14 years ago. We exhausted what conventional medicine had to offer during these years: Numerous medicines, DBS: Deep Brain Stimulation (brain surgery)and intensive physical therapy. While some things had been helpful, they all had a downside or hit a limit.
We utilize a wide variety of modalities to treat our patients. Below is an explanation of each modality. None of these modalities are used every single treatment. Instead we prefer to work with our patients to determine which treatment options are suitable for their condition and then collaboratively design a treatment plan based on the patient's goals and comfort level with each treatment.
Initial visits generally last from 30 to 90 minutes. Your acupuncturist will take a detailed health history, perform a physical exam, and provide you with your unique treatment plan. During your first appointment, you may be asked a wide range of questions about your symptoms, eating, exercise, sleep habits, emotional states and anything that may offer insight into your health.

Both Stephanie and Susan are incredible. INCREDIBLE. Efficient and professional, funny and conversational without any fluff or fake. The atmosphere is far more comfortable than clinical, and Sara is a wonderful administrative coordinator. I've undergone both an ankle/heel surgery and bicep tendon rupture repair, and rather than the standard "pop pills and wait it out" path, I've done herbal remedies, body detoxification and multiple treatments on both fronts. My injuries have shown major progress and I have seen incredible success without having to dope up or endure the same levels of consistent

I've had 6 sessions with Dr. Dwyer so far. My initial appointment I explained to her my history and why I wanted to try acupuncture. I was in the military for 9 years, and had injured my back while serving. My primary doctor wanted to prescribe me pills, but I was against that method. After the 6th session yesterday, my pain has almost subsided. During my first visit, I had intensive lower back paid, numbness on both hands and neck problems. After only 6 sessions, I can say I feel about 90% back to my old self. The power of acupuncture and Dr. Dwyer's attention to detail has defiantly proven creditability

I started seeing Dr. Stefanie in December for sciatica and insomnia. Being terribly afraid of needles, this was a last resort and I only made the appointment because of my daughter’s stubborn insistence. I was very anxious before the consultation. Dr. Stefanie’s demeanor and knowledge put me at ease enough for me to agree to let her treat me using needles! By the end of the session, I was feeling much better, my pain and anxiety were greatly decreased and I booked my next appointment for a few days after.
So far, I have been to see Dr. Stefanie 10 times since that first visit and the change

After over 40 years of acupuncture treatments, I have FINALLY found the perfect acupuncture specialists for me! Stefanie is amazing, to put it mildly. We're treating things that needed to addressed decades ago. What is the best part is that the treatments are HOLDING for up to 1 week at a time!
I have a very complex congenital condition that needs regular monitoring.
I'm beyond grateful for AOMA students leading me to this place.

I have worked with Stefanie for years and not only is she good at what she does (acupuncture) but she also makes me feel comfortable and relaxed, which I find is just as important as the acupuncture itself!
I have specifically worked with Stefanie on boosting my fertility and supporting a pregnancy. I have a history of recurrent miscarriage and am currently 18 weeks pregnant! I credit acupuncture and Si Shou with helping to contribute to this healthy pregnancy. I had horrible morning sickness my first trimester but I often found some relief (even if it was only a few hours) after my acupuncture

I entered Si Shou in a great deal of pain, chronic pain, and I left feeling both relief and hopeful!
It's been a couple of months since my first visit, and I feel like a new person. Chronic pain is now a thing of the past (yes, I do have aches from time to time, but they are now very manageable)!
Steffanie has worked with me incorporating acupuncture and herbs into my care. The moment I met Steffanie, I was immediately at ease and felt as if I was truly being heard. Her plan of action has offered me a new perspective on my physical abilities and soothed my soul.

Stephanie is amazing! A friend gifted me a gift certificate for a an acupuncture treatment here. I have a residential cleaning business and it's very hard on my body. I went in with a knee in serious pain and have been struggling with trigger finger in both hands for over a year.
Two hours later, my knee was pain free and hands 60 percent better. I was blown away! It's well worth it. There's not a price tag for good health and relief from pain. Give it a try!

I’ve been getting treatment at Si Shou for over a year now, and my mental, physical, and emotional well-being has SIGNIFICANTLY improved. Dr. Stefanie Dwyer is a top-notch provider who connects well with her patients and provides individually tailored treatment. Patients well-being are the number one priority. She is more than flexible in helping patients with their scheduling needs. Thank you, Stefanie, for excellent service and a positive experience!

I have known Stef for about 4 years. My experience with her has been as a patient and peer. I was having trouble with chronic neck pain, and her treatment helped immensely to decrease the pain and help me get through my portion of treating. Her knowledge of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine is vast, and she is extremely talented and proficient. She has a big heart for helping others, and I have always appreciated her willingness to share and help others. Her space is absolutely beautiful, very soothing and relaxing. A great place to relax and find healing! Her treatment partner Colleen

Stefanie felt like a friend the first time I entered her practice. I had nausea and my digestion wasn't great. After explaining to her my short story and what was on my heart, she immediately knew which "program" my body needed, one of them was to release old emotional blocks. She did 3 sessions on me, which was all my body needed at the time.
Her confidence and ability to listen to her intuition made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
