About this Experience
What you'll do:
Sit down with Dr. Reiman for a session built entirely around your body, not a generic treatment plan. He starts with a pulse check to identify exactly which points your body needs that day, so no two sessions ever look the same.
Pulse Check - Dr. Reiman reads your pulse to pinpoint the specific imbalances your body is holding onto.
Personalized Point Selection - Your treatment plan is built in real time based on what your body needs, not a set routine.
Needle Insertion - Needles are placed with precision and generally removed right after insertion, keeping the experience quick and comfortable.
Root Cause Treatment - Instead of masking symptoms, Dr. Reiman works to correct the underlying imbalance causing them.
Private Recovery Moment - You get quiet, uninterrupted time to notice how your body feels different before you head back to the group.
You leave the room lighter, calmer, and more like yourself, ready to rejoin your group with your energy actually reset instead of just distracted for an hour.
Why we love it for your group:
Fully Private Sessions - No shared rooms or shared attention; every person gets one-on-one time with Dr. Reiman.
Genuinely Different Activity - A group wellness experience your crew won't have already done on another trip.
Real, Felt Results - This isn't a passive treatment; you notice the shift in how you feel by the time you leave.
Balances the Whole Group's Energy - Great for resetting the vibe before a big night out or a long travel day.
Built for First-Timers - No experience with acupuncture needed, Dr. Reiman walks you through everything.

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.
