Welcome! I am Dr. Dawn Potter (formerly Dawn Balusik). Since 2004, I have been providing natural solutions for a variety of health concerns including pain conditions, women’s health, infertility, endometriosis & cancer support to the Clearwater area. It is my joy to help people regain & maintain vibrant health using acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, manual therapies & whole-food nutrition.
Conditions Treated
All Conditions Treated
The World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health have endorsed the use of acupuncture for conditions relating to all systems in the body.
Each year more research studies, from the U.S. and abroad, demonstrate acupuncture’s effectiveness for an ever growing list of conditions.
Fertility
Acupuncture for infertility is one of Dr. Dawn Potter-Balusik’s favorite specialties.
Acupuncture & Oriental medicine can be used alone or in combination with conventional assisted reproductive technologies for both male & female infertility.
Endometriosis
Acupuncture for endometriosis is a special area of interest for Dr. Dawn Potter-Balusik.
Endometriosis is a gynecological condition that can cause severe pelvic and abdominal pain, excess menstrual bleeding and/or infertility.
Pregnancy & Birth
Though, at first, you may not think to put acupuncture on your “to do” list when you find out you are pregnant, acupuncture for pregnancy and childbirth is actually a valuable and natural way to help ensure a healthy pregnancy, a smooth delivery and a quick post-partum recovery.
Pain & Injury
Acupuncture for pain of all types is what acupuncture is most known for. Whether it is acute or chronic, due to injury or degeneration, internal organ pain or muscle/joint, it is all treatable with acupuncture, manual therapies, and Chinese herbs.
Cancer Support
Cancer treatment success rates are increasing due to advancements in cancer treatment. However, the treatments themselves are still very taxing to the body. Acupuncture for cancer support is a wonderful complementary option to help lessen the side-effects, alleviate pain and strengthen the body.
Patient Testimonials
*individual results may vary.
*One year after having total knee replacement I was still experiencing pain. This was affecting my sleep and my ability to carry out day to day activities. I had followed all of the recommended rehabilitation therapy and drug treatment and still not received any relief.
At this point is when I reached out to Dawn to see what options could be afforded by acupuncture.

Infertility Success: Endometriosis
*In October of 2006, I was in a car accident and suffered 2 herniated discs in my lower lumbar region. I had been trying for years to get rid of the lower back pain that I was suffering from but to no avail.
Low Back Pain after Car Accident
*After going through many miscarriages, we went to an infertility specialist. All the numerous tests we did were inconclusive and they couldn’t find out what had been causing the early miscarriages.
