Booking an Acupuncture Appointment

We have appointments available at our downtown Chicago acupuncture clinic Monday through Saturday. To schedule your first appointment, please click on the Book Online button or call the office at 312-890-5553. If for some reason we are unable to answer your call, please feel free to leave a message or email ang@acubalancechicago.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Please give us at least 24 hours notice if you are unable to make your scheduled acupuncture appointment. We know your time is valuable and we have reserved your appointment time just for you, so please give us the same consideration.

What to Expect During Your First Acupuncture Visit

We recommend that you eat a light meal or snack prior to coming in for your first acupuncture treatment. You may wish to wear comfortable clothing for your acupuncture treatment, however, we always have clothing for you to change into if needed.

Expect to spend about one hour in the office for your first visit. During a typical first visit, your acupuncturist will ask you questions about your health background, get details about your chief complaint, perform a physical exam, which includes looking at your tongue and examining your pulse, and determine a differential diagnosis for you. From this, a treatment plan is designed and administered. This plan may include acupuncture as well as adjunctive techniques, such as cupping, bodywork, electro stimulation, herbal and dietary recommendations, gua sha, or heat therapy, if necessary. You will receive an acupuncture treatment during your first visit.
