About Doc: The Man Behind the Medicine
Enthralled with reading and puzzle solving from a young age, by age 10 Doc was certain that medicine was his calling. Shortly thereafter he began studying anatomy and physiology independently. He took up the New England Journal of Medicine provided by encouraging physicians reading them from cover to cover with the utmost in comprehension and retention.
Steven “Doc” Blackstone is a military veteran (USAF) hailing from San Antonio, Texas. His nickname doesn’t come from numerous academic degrees. It comes from the affinity his many clients have for him. They respect him for his knowledge and devotion to serving others through his profession. People call upon Doc in much the same way as were the wise and experienced country doctors of the Old West… counseling on everything from baby’s first cold to where to find the voltage regulator on a ’69 Firebird.
Where to Find the Master:
The Stewart Center Building at 5108 Broadway is a stone’s throw from St. Peter’s Church and the Broadway 50/50 Lounge on the same side of Broadway.
Doc Blackstone, not unlike the iconic martial artist Bruce Lee, has taken the most useful parts of various (healing) disciplines and formed a cohesive system taking acupuncture to an exclusive level. A prime example of Doc’s legendary skill is the story of the restoration of hearing to a deaf infant while still studying Pediatric Tuina under the guidance of his mentor, Dr. Yongxin Fan. His keen observation and inquisitive nature led him to specialize in idiopathic disease. His independent clinical research yielded an ingenious new therapy for a rare form of cancer (pleomorphic lipocarcoma). Additionally, Doc devised a technique for manual manipulation of the eyeball. His innovation reduces ocular pressure in cases of acute angle closure glaucoma thus, preventing blindness.
Doc has numerous published works including blogs. He has published literature describing the origins of fibromyalgia. One essay slated for publication relates to the Chinese Medicine diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and its relationship to the Heart. Among his more fun, unique and widely read articles include the origins of ticklishness and its clinical significance and his discussion regarding ear candling.
It is my goal to provide an option to choose 'the best'.
Doc’s pastimes include horseback riding, tinkering with vintage cars and riding motorcycles. He has an affinity for playing guitar and Native American flute. Additional accomplishments include award winning martial artist, author, graphic artist and photographer.

Success Stories
I feel so much better. I could hear out of my right earthat had bee greatly impaired for a long time!
I was told I’d need knee surgery. Doc worked on my knee for an hour, and when I got up off the table, I could walk better than I had in years. A few more sessions and my knee has never caused me problems again.
Doc helped me with my neuropathy and my back and neck in ways that no other doctor could. He twisted me like a pretzel but I felt so much better I was emotional! He provided the best relief for me and I had been in pain for 20+ years.
After a terrible accident that totaled my vehicle, I was in excruciating pain. Steven has helped me by about 80% and brought back functionality when I could barely stand up or use my arm.
