We Love To Work & We Love Where We Work

More than an organization, Balance is a collection of hearts and minds, each with their own unique perspective on the human body, and each with a passion to heal. Our goal is to help where we can in a safe, nurturing environment. We also pride ourselves on keeping our patients’ best interests at heart, going to great lengths in working with mainstream medical providers.

After working on their own for six years, Eric Strand and Daniel DesJardins got together in January 2006, combining the oriental arts of acupuncture and herbal medicine with chiropractic care. The result rippled through their combined patient population and they quickly outgrew the 600 square foot, three-room office. After a first expansion they realized the idea of Balance was just too big to stay in one place, and in February 2013 the clinic was relocated into its current, 2,700 square foot clinic.

Balance currently boasts 11 treatment rooms with two spacious lobbies; one for the main clinic, and one for the quieter massage side. No longer just an acupuncture and chiropractic clinic, we now also offer massage and rehabilitation.

At Balance, we are committed to providing fully integrated, safe and effective patient-focused healthcare; with an emphasis on education and prevention, and a belief that we all deserve a life of Balance.
