About PJ Steyer, Lic.Ac.
PJ says, "After a back injury, I was in a great deal of pain and could barely move. I was being encouraged to have surgery, but I wanted to try acupuncture before it came to that. I was just amazed with the results. Every time I had a treatment, I felt a little better, and after a few months, I was completely cured! I decided then to study to become an acupuncturist myself."
