About this Experience

What you'll do:

Step into a truly personalized healing experience with Dr. Reiman at Five Element Chicago. Your session begins with a pulse check to identify the perfect acupuncture points for your body — because no two people are the same and neither are their treatments. Needles are generally removed immediately after insertion, making this a comfortable and interactive experience. The goal is simple: leave feeling like yourself again. We do this by treating the root imbalance, not just the symptoms.

Why we love it for your party:

  • A one-of-a-kind bachelorette or girls' trip activity that actually that is mindful of your wellbeing

  • Completely private sessions — no shared rooms, no distractions, just you and Dr. Reiman

  • Interactive and hands-on — you'll feel the difference and return to the party feeling like yourself again

  • The perfect reset to balance your emotions and keep your energy positive

  • A wellness experience that your crew will be talking about long after the trip because it helped everyone

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Classical Five-Element Acupuncture?

Classical Five-Element Acupuncture is a specialized, holistic approach that focuses on diagnosing and treating your "Causative Factor"—the deep-seated root cause of your health struggles. Rather than just offering temporary relief for surface-level symptoms, this method uses traditional tongue and pulse diagnostics to encourage the body's natural healing response. This restores inner balance and systemic harmony, leading to deep, lasting recovery.

What conditions can acupuncture at Five Element Chicago help treat?

We provide expert care for a wide range of physical conditions and complex emotional challenges. Our patients frequently find sustainable relief from chronic migraines, acute and chronic physical pain, digestive issues, and severe allergy symptoms. Because we treat the root cause of your imbalances, patients also commonly report bonus benefits such as improved sleep quality and a much greater sense of emotional calm.

What should I expect during my first acupuncture appointment?

Unlike a standard doctor's visit, your first appointment at our Northbrook clinic involves a comprehensive two-hour diagnostic intake. We conduct a deep-dive analysis of your health history, lifestyle, and current physiological state. This thorough assessment allows us to pinpoint the underlying energy patterns causing your symptoms so we can create a fully customized, highly effective treatment plan.

How many acupuncture sessions will I need to see results?

It is possible for significant improvement to happen during the first visit. Treatment frequency depends on whether you are dealing with acute pain or longer-standing, chronic concerns. Typically, we recommend new patients come in once a week for four to five weeks to stabilize their physiology and set a new course for their health. Once your core health is stabilized and you are feeling like yourself again, we usually reduce the frequency of your treatments to simple seasonal maintenance visits.

Does Dr. Reiman have any special requests for your first visit?

We ask our patients to refrain from wearing makeup, perfume, scented products or sunscreen to allow for diagnostic clarity.
