The Man Behind The Medicine

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. 

Doc Blackstone, not unlike the iconic martial artist Bruce Lee, has taken the most useful parts of various healing disciplines and formed a cohesive healing system taking acupuncture to an exclusive level.

He is renowned for many great displays of talent and skill. There is one legend that involves 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 resulted in the development of an ingenious new therapy for a rare form of cancer  (pleomorphic lipocarcoma). Additionally, Doc devised a technique for manual manipulation of the eyeball to reduce 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 Doc’s more fun, unique and widely read articles include the origins of ticklishness and its clinical significance and his discussion regarding ear candling.

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.

Doc is widely recognized in the Chinese Medicine community for his skills in Asian Bodywork (specifically Tuina and Medical Qigong). National certification by the AOBTA (American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia) ensures his level of education. Doc’s license to practice in Texas is in accordance with regulations set forth by the Texas Department of Health an Human Services.
