Rebalance Acupuncture is a northwest Edmonton clinic founded and operated by Dr. Elad Shalev, Dr.Ac., a Doctor of Acupuncture with over 20 years of experience. The clinic’s name reflects its two core offerings: Balance Method Acupuncture and Recall Healing, which Shalev integrates to address both the physical and underlying emotional dimensions of chronic conditions.
What the Evidence Shows:
- Clinical Criteria: Dr. Shalev holds a Doctor of Acupuncture designation and is a registered acupuncturist with the College of Acupuncturists of Alberta. His primary modality is Balance Method Acupuncture, a system developed by Dr. Richard Tan that uses contralateral needling principles to produce fast, often in-session relief from pain. He has studied directly under Dr. Tan for over seven years. Recall Healing, the clinic’s second offering, is a structured consultation approach that explores the connection between life events and physical symptoms. The clinic also incorporates TCM herbal therapy. Recall Healing consultations are available both in-person and via Zoom for clients outside Edmonton.
- Operational Criteria: The clinic operates as a single-practitioner practice, with Dr. Shalev managing both clinical and administrative functions. Direct billing is available. The clinic is located at 119 Street NW and operates Sunday through Thursday.
- Reputation: Rebalance Acupuncture holds 57 Google reviews at a 5.0 rating. Patient feedback consistently highlights rapid symptom relief and Dr. Shalev’s thorough, root-cause approach to complex chronic conditions.
- Outreach: No formal community partnerships or outreach programs were identified. The clinic’s reach extends internationally through online Recall Healing consultations.
