In our Calgary Acupuncture Clinic we treat various conditions using natural medicine. We also offer treatment for Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other chronic conditions.
After my daughter was born, I was suffering constant fatigue; repeated colds, flus, and bouts of mastitis; and a general sense of unwellness - all of which was very uncharacteristic for me. I am normally a healthy, active, and happy person. My doctor wasn't very interested in my symptoms and didn't take their affect on my life very seriously. After about 8 months I found Dr. Rebecca - she's amazing. She was able to get to the bottom of what felt like a very nebulous condition in a single visit, and within a few weeks I was feeling like my old self again. Her techniques and treatments are extremely focused and effective, and she is extremely knowledgeable. I recommend her services often and without hesitation. She really is amazing!
I was delighted and hopeful to recently have found Dr. Risk, a health professional who not onlt successsfully beat Lyme Disease but who now treats this devastating disease with success.
For those of us with Lyme, the battle for effective treatment in Alberta is a huge and frustrating experience. Yet from my first appointment with Dr. Risk I was treated with understanding, compassion and most importantly, given hope for recovery.
I have found Dr. Risk to be extremely patient, knowlegeable and Lyme literate - a rarity amongst health professionals. Not only is she all this but she is willing to spend the time necessary in treating a complicated and debilitating disease with dogged perserverence..
I'm so thankful I found Dr. Risk and highly recommend her!
I've been a patient of Dr. Risk for over two years to address a number of concerns including knee osteoarthritis, various muscle injuries and a cluster of complaints which we now know to be caused by Celiac disease. Dr. Risk is compassionate, experienced and truly looking to improve your health with the aim of future visits being solely for maintenance.
I have been impressed with the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), both the treatment modalities (i.e. acupuncture, moxa) and the supplements Dr. Risk has provided to improve my severe arthritis and help heal sports injuries. Dr. Risk also used BioMeridian testing to assess me as having Celiac disease/gluten intolerance. I went from sleeping 10-12 hours a day, fighting depression and suffering various gastrointestinal complaints to enjoying lots of energy on 8 solid hours of sleep, eliminated the chronic swelling in my knees, and feel happy and productive.
I may not understand or be able to appreciate the subtleties of TCM but all I have to do is look at my results and be grateful that I found Dr. Risk. She's easy to talk to and takes the time to uncover how seemingly unrelated symptoms may be related to a single cause and then effectively treats it. I can't recommend her highly enough.
