The Balance Center

Lisajeanne Potyk, L.Ac., is the practitioner behind The Balance Center in El Cajon. Lisajeanne came to acupuncture from a career in music, and still sees the body the way one sees an instrument: the meridians are the scales and the points are the notes. Lisajeanne's work is to help each patient feel better, move freely, and return to balance.

How they work

The Balance Center is built around a distinctive style of acupuncture. Rather than needling directly into a sore area, which can aggravate it, Lisajeanne uses the Balance Method, an approach rooted in the I Ching and refined over many centuries. The points used sit on the scalp and ears, from the elbows to the fingers, and from the knees to the toes, opening blockages and helping the whole body settle back into balance. The needles are as fine as a hair, so most treatments are comfortable, and many patients feel deeply relaxed while they rest. When it is helpful, Lisajeanne adds Chinese herbal formulas as support.
