Last winter my shoulder was injured; a partial tear of the right shoulder tendon. It was very painful and I could not raise my arm high enough to do my hair. My doctor told me this just happens as we get older and react to injury, unofficially calling it "50 year old woman's disease". He told me I might never get my full range of motion back because tendon doesn't regenerate. I cried, did some googling of my own, and then cried some more....

Good morning,

Trying To Conceive for 2 years Before Seeking help
Difficulty in conceiving a child was never considered as a reality as we set out to expand our family. However, two years later, we decided that despite best efforts in charting, using ovulation kits, and raising legs in the air, help was needed. Help came in the form of Dr. Ryan Funk, the genial acupuncturist at Acubalance Wellness Centre.

I Never Thought I'd Be Here Hugging My Daughter
I came to see Dr.Ryan Funk at Acubalance Wellness Centre in early September 2017. When I walked in with my husband, Ryan was warm, kind and immediately put us at ease. He asked us some questions and drew up a treatment plan. I was sent home with some supplements and much needed alterations to my poor diet.
I wholeheartedly recommend Acubalance!
Ever since I was a child, I easily became dizzy on car rides and boat rides. Over the past five years, I've noticed that condition worsening. I saw two different ear nose and throat specialist so, neither of whom could find anything that was functionally wrong. Even finding a diagnosis, let alone a solution, proved impossible because I did not have the typical motion sickness symptoms of queasy stomach and vomiting.

I wanted to take this day to thank Dr. Emilie Salomons for being such an
important part on my journey to being a mom.
The Benefits of Acupuncture
Even before the thought of having children was an option for me, I focused strongly on my fertility. Having a history of PCOS, I wanted to gain control of my reproductive health to avoid risking a long and arduous conception journey. Through a friend, I met Ryan from Acubalance, and he quickly became my families Acupuncturist.
