On the Mark Health

Before coming to Ryan Funk the acupuncturist I had been suffering from chest pains evertime I made the nbed, swept the floor, climbed the stairs or even tried to do simple exercises such as walking.  My doctor had given me a number of prescriptions for medications that never seemed to help.  I was at my wits end.  My husband suggested that I try Acupuncture, What did I have to Lose ?

Wall, after the very first treatment, and to my surprise, I was able to walk up a full flight of stairs with NO PAIN.  None at all.  I have had several treatments now and I am very happy to say that I have not had anymore severe pain at all.  The odd twinge is getting less often and only happens when I am rushing to get somewhere or over-exerting myself.  I have been feeling so much better being able to make the ned, climb the stairs, go for walks and even go golfing again without having that terrible pain anymore.  I really do believe that the acupuncture has helped me an awful lot in regards to the hiatus hernia.

Dear Ryan Funk

    Within four sessions in a period of two weeks acupuncture has cleared up some weakened organ functions as old asa lifetime, and as recent as a year ago.  I went in to this healing format as a last resort to deal with limited circulation, which in itself caused achiness in my lower legs, unnatural body chills, irregular bowel movements and acne.  Due to my lifestyle, I believed I had to accept tension headaches and at times, migrains as part of my daily exisistence.  However, back-aches, neck tension as well as tennis elbow that led to my frequent headaches and pains have been arrested.  All of these issues at the age of forty-five are clearing up and allowing me to experience a new sense of vitality I thought I would never have.

For two years I have suffered with tendonitis or tennis elbow.  I was unable to sleep as each time I tossed and turned painwould weken me.  I had on occasion to resort to extra strength motrin to relieve the pain, I had no strength to lift even the slightest weights.  I tried physiotherapy and after six visits I felt the treatments did not give me significant relief to continue.  I had considered asking my doctor about surgery but instead asked him his opinion of acupuncture, he was in favor so, I began treatments with Ryan Funk. 

I was surprised to find how well I responded  and within a few visits I was 75% cured of the pain, further visits brought me to within 5% or 10% of being rid of the problem altogether.

Today I am left with a slight stiffness, no pain and greatly improved mobility.  I hope others can find the relief as much as I have done.

I spent a year going back and forth to various other doctors who were unable to help me with medical problems that I was having.  I was given medicine to treat the symptoms but the doctors were un-willing or un-able to get to the root of the problems so the symptoms kept re-occurring.  Knowing that the medicines I was taking were not good for me long term I went to Ryan Funk, hoping to get to the root of these problems.  With-in only a month of treatment my symptoms were nearly non-existent.  He was able to pin-point what was causing these problems and he taught me to control the factors involved and now with very minimal maintancne I am problem Free !!    I am so happy with the results that he will be my first course of actionwith any future problems that come up.

When I  began treatment with Ryan Funk 2.5 months ago in January, I was having digestive problems which he correctred in approximately five acupuncture treatments.  I had been troubled with this problem since November, my physician initially thought I had a gallbladder problem.  I had an x-ray, CT scan and ultra sound, the CT scan showed some clouding in my pancreas, gallbladder was fine.  I then consulted my herbalist and she recommended some specific herbs.  My symptoms partially improved but were not completely alleviated until acupuncture.

Now Ryan is working on my menopausal symptoms.  Mood swings, sleep disorder, energy level have improved immensely.  I am still having hot flashes but are few and less intense than before.  My health is great and I feel balanced and happier.  Also I had a pain my foot that he fixed after only one treatment.

Ryan has recently began treatment on my husband who has crones disease, after two visits the diarrhea has diminished and his energy level has improved.

We recommend Ryan's qualified treatment to everyone, even for people who are not presently ill, acupuncture is beneficial as a prevention to future problems.  He is an amazingly brilliant Dr. of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.   

Dear Ryan Funk

    I am writing to thankyou for the great treatment which I have received from you.

For about a year before coming to you I had been dealing with pain in my knees.  This was especially annoying because many times the pain prevented me from engaging in the activities which are important to me like running and hiking and biking.  The pain also made it very uncomfortable to sit at my desk at work.  

Initially I went to my family MD.  He diagnosed the problem as a strained muscle and prescribed Tyleno 3's and a muscle relaxant.  I took these drugs for as long as I could stand them.  I found that they made me very sick, I felt dizzy and was unable to concentrate at work.  They also upset my stomach and just generally made me feel awful.  The net result was that the problem mwas still there.  Nothing had healed.

Since I have been coming to you for treatment the pain is just about completely gone, and my knees are so much stronger.  I appreciate you in-depth consultations and follow up to the treatments.  I can sit comfortably at work and I am able to engage in my sports without the pain.

Yours Truly

I went to see Ryan Funk after suffering a week with a pinched sciatic nerve running down my left leg.  After just one treatment I recieved relief and the pain slowly started to subside.  I was never fond of needles but could hardly wait for my next visit.

I'm sure I was able to get back to work alot quicker with the acupuncture treatment.  I would recommend it to anyone in pain

I have been treated by my general practitioner and psychiatrist for over 10 years for fatigue, insomnia and a poor memory with little or no results.  These symptoms started during my menopausal years and have slowly progressed over the years.

I began seeing Ryan Funk after my daughter suggested I see him for my fractured wrist.  Since my daughter was helped by his acupuncture treatments I decided to give it a try. 

Upon seeing ryan, my fatigue was so severe my arms and legs felt so heavy that it took all my energy to just move them.  To leave my apartment I had to climb six sxteps, I would have to sit and rest after going up three steps.   Many times I had to reschedule appointments because my fatigue was so bad I couldn't get out of bed. 

I have coped with Insomnia for years, at worst I would not sleep for several days, some days I would fall into bed exhausted and not be able to sleep.

My other main complaint was a "brain fog" or poor concentration.  I would read something over and over but still can't understand what I'm reading.  If I do understand it, I'm unable to retain it.  During the worst of it I would forget which side of the road I should be on. 

I also had times of weepiness where I would cry yet not be sad or depressed, this was very frustrating for me. 

On my initial visit my fractured wrist was very painful but after 6 treatments the pain has greatly improved, no longer do I have pain in the wrist area !

Along with Acupuncture Ryan also put me on a nutritional plan where I took a three week cleansing treatment.  These treatments have been extremely effective in alleviating my symptoms.  My energy level has improved greatly' my sleeping has drastically changed from little or no sleep to an occasional full eight hours of rest.  My concentration and memory are also much improved !
