Pure Acupuncture in Lincoln Park, Chicago

Many people think of acupuncture treatment for pain relief. What people often don’t know is that acupuncture addresses many imbalances caused by lifestyle, stress and illness. Acupuncture helps to improve digestion, energy and sleep. It helps relieve symptoms of allergies, headaches, migraines and the impact of stress. Acupuncture also supports fertility (including with assisted reproductive technologies such as IUI & IVF), emotional balancing and an overall sense of wellbeing.

Acupuncture recognizes the vital energy behind all of life. It is believed that this energy, called qi (pronounced “chee”), circulates throughout the body along meridians or channels. When this energy flow is disrupted, pain, disharmony or illness occurs. Acupuncture points are stimulated using hair-thin needles with the intention of treating the root cause or weakness of the body, as well as the symptoms that are causing discomfort.

Chinese medicine is based on the belief that we live in a universe in which everything is interconnected. This is mirrored in the body: what happens to one part of the body affects every other part of the body. The mind and body are not viewed separately, but as part of an energetic system.

Acupuncture can address many issues, including the following:

Fertility, pregnancy, menopausal support

Emotional & hormonal balancing, increased sense of well being

Body pain, headache & migraine relief

Sleep, energy & digestive support
