Patient Testimonials

Over the years our patients have been kind enough to post a few words about our services. Enjoy!

  I have had had 4 surgeries since 2000, all on my hip, until in 2005 they had to literally take out my hip socket and an old hip prosthetic which left me without a hip and upper leg bone until 12-2008, when I received a new hip and cadaver bone in my thigh. I was recovering in a lot of pain and then was rear ended in my vehicle and injured by shoulder, neck and ribs. I was tired of taking a pill for this and a pill for that and asked around for some alternative health care when I was referred to Balance Health and Injury Clinic. I have been going since February 2008, and in that short amount of time I have never felt better in my life. The combination of acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage have eased my pain to the point of finally getting off large doses of morphine. I've lost weight, my skin is glowing and I feel a zest for life I forgot I had. People who haven't seen me in awhile constantly ask me what I'm doing because I don't look like I'm in pain anymore and I just have a glow about me. I am grateful for my accident because it brought me to a place where skilled professionals like Eric Strand, Daniel DesJardins, and Amber Buxton listened to my problems, came up with a treatment plan and have changed my life. I really mean this and I will continue my care and come to the clinic before I go to hospital doctors who will scribble out a prescription and send me on my way instead of listening to me and helping my body heal itself like all of you at Balance. My body, mind and spirit are grateful for the care and healing I have received. You are all awesome, fun, and talented at your gifted positions. I will tell everyone I know about your hands-on natural healing methods because it works, pill fee, pain free and relaxing. Again, thanks.

As an avid martial artist I am prone to injury. Without Sifu Strand it is unlikely that I would be teaching Kenpo today. His style is compassionate and extremely effective.

  After years of unsuccessful visits with dermatologists, allergy specialists and naturopaths, which included innumerable and futile tests, ointments, lotions, soaps, oils, and dangerous topical medicinal creams, my husband and I brought our eczema ridden son to Eric. As you can imagine we were skeptical when Eric said a once a week session and an herbal prescription would accomplish what dozens of other doctors had failed to do, help our son. However, within 3 months every sign of the eczema was gone! Three years later we are still amazed by our son’s nearly flawless skin! THANK YOU ERIC!!!

  After my fourth concussion, and the loss of my vision, I was told that I would never surf, skate or snowboard again! Eric saved my way of life! My headaches are gone, my vision is better than ever, and I am back on my boards again.

In my line of work injury is to be expected. After a particularly painful experience I was introduced to Eric and Daniel, who put the pieces back together again. For the professional and aspiring mixed martial artist there is no alternative!

Eric is one of the best acupuncturists I know. A seasoned practitioner, Eric is who I want treating me.

I was skeptical at first. But after receiving treatment for what I thought was a broken rib from a sparring session, I am convinced. I highly recommend Eric!

I decided to try acupuncture after about 10 years of anxiety and depression. I was surprised how quickly my symptoms went away. Thank you, Eric!

As an acupuncturist myself, I can tell you Eric is not just good - he is one of the best! I wouldn’t let anyone else work on me.

Eric is one of the good guys. He practices with an honesty, integrity and compassion I’ve found unparalleled in medicine today. My injuries and medical issues are unique and I need someone I can trust. Eric fits.
