Angie and Justin have changed my life. I've been going to Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness for years, and I can't imagine where I would be without this team. My preference is to do chiro before acupuncture, and the office is always willing to do what they can from a scheduling perspective to accommodate my request, which brings us to our first stop, Justin! Embarrassing for me, but I've cried a few times in Justin's face because of aches and pains. Justin always takes his time to listen to my physical woes, and he goes to work to get 'em out. He uses a variety of methods from heat to stim to good 'ol chiropractic adjustments- all with a smile. I definitely feel loosey-goosey and ready to get poked, which brings me to my second stop....Angie! No matter the challenge I bring into the acupuncture room, Angie is ready to meet it. Angie also uses a variety of techniques from different laying positions to stim to heat lamps. PS Angie- where can I get one of those heat lamps for my house?? I don't think there's ever been one acupuncture session where I haven't gone into a fully meditative state. The hour long session feels like it's 5 minutes, and I always wake up feeling fully refreshed. We usually end our sessions with cupping, which has been a game changer in my physical healing journey. I genuinely don't know where I would be without these two. Every time I'm in this office I reflect on how grateful I am to have this tremendous duo in my corner. If I skip a week, I can absolutely tell a difference in my body. Suffice it to say, Angie and Justin won't be getting rid of me any time soon! Angie, Justin, thank you infinitely. You both are blessings! read more

I came in to receive acupuncture for hormonal balancing and overall wellness care. I enjoyed my acupuncture sessions with Angie and Sarah. I've been sleeping better and looking forward to visiting them in the future. read more

Convenient office location in the Loop. I came here for my first appointment not knowing what to expect. I had gotten acupuncture in the past, but it was a while ago, and the place was not super easy to get to. In spite of my lapsed attendance, I knew I wanted to revisit this ancient yet effective natural treatment to help address some imbalances that I have been facing. I like this location for its privacy, the ease of booking appointments, and calm, informative demeanor of the practitioner Sarah, as well as the soothing nature of the office itself. I will be back in a matter of days for my follow-up appointment and look forward to making my visits here a regular part of my healthy routine. read more

Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness was an awesome introduction to acupuncture. It was very soothing and effective treatment that has allowed me to get back to real stretching and strengthening after several months of weakness and atrophy. Both Angie and Sarah were great. Highly recommended. read more

Nice office. Staff is great. Place is clean. Pricing is good. I love acupuncture and it definitely works. read more

I worked with Angie as my primary acupuncturist. I went to her in January '22 for fertility acupuncture, given I am in my late 30s, had low AMH and had trouble getting pregnant. This was my first time doing acupuncture. Angie was amazing and she took the time in the first session to explain acupuncture to me and answer all my questions. I would fall asleep during 15-20 mins of the session which felt great and relaxing. I re-did my bloodwork in April and my fertility numbers improved drastically. I eventually attempted an IUI in May and got pregnant. I believe that the acupuncture sessions had a huge part to play in it. I recommend Fertility Acupuncture sessions to anyone in their fertility journey, and highly recommend this practice. read more

Had a couple of visits 2 years ago. The place was busy. Not too personable. After one of the sessions, I had some blood leaking out of my head from a needle, NOT a tiny amount to be clear. I don't understand how she didn't notice once taking out the needles. I had to ask the receptionist girl for something to clean the blood. Never returned after that and found a different place where the acupuncturist is more personable and isn't rushing & checks the skin after taking out the needles. read more

Angie was recommended by my doctor to help manage an issue with chronic pain. She has been a wonderful partner, and takes an active interest in my progress. I try to see her every 1-2 weeks, and I always feel much better after my sessions. I am delighted to have found Angie and her team! read more

I come once a month for Accupuncture and i wouldnt think of going elsewhere. Angie is very knowledgeable and puts you at ease....the office is very calming and peaceful...i almost always fall asleep during a session. The session from start to finish is very nice, never feels rushed and very thorough. Ive gone to other places for accupuncture before i started here but this is where i feel the best. I also love that its very easy to communicate when setting up appointments...i have a weird schedule and im not always available at a consistent time...Angie is great at communicating times available to me promptly so i can get in to see her. I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a wonderful place for accupuncture services read more

A friend recommended acupuncture to me as a way to address lower back pain from years of being a desk jockey. I'm grateful my first experience with acupuncture was with Angie! She is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and kind, and went out of her way to explain everything she was doing on my first few visits to help put me at ease and understand how acupuncture really works. After my first session, I honestly felt like I was walking on air. The tension in my lower back had evaporated! I continued seeing Angie for the rest of my time in Chicago, and she helped me address other lingering issues in my neck, shoulders, and upper back, all of which I had accepted as inevitable, though now I know a lot better. The second I'm back in Chicago, I will be making appointments with Angie again! read more

Angie and Michael are outstanding wellness practitioners and masters of their craft. They both bring different lenses to your wellness plan and offer valuable suggestions for long-term self-care, like stretching, meditation, etc. Both Angie and Michael have changed my life in terms of making me more calm, reducing my medication dependence (especially Ambien!) and helping me manage my work/life balance. I highly recommend AFBW as a place to reach your zen! read more

At 38, my husband and I struggled to get pregnant. I began seeing Angie at Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness after 2 rounds of failed ivf treatments and with a lot of fear regarding the future. I did acupuncture treatments, weekly, for 3 months as I tried to prepare my body better for the next round of ivf. For us, thankfully, that 3rd round was the charm and I'm now almost 4 months pregnant! Infertility is complex but I really do believe that acupuncture helped, even if simply to destress me during a very stressful time. Sessions were a lot more affordable than some of the other Chicago fertility acupuncture centers, making it feasible for me to go each week. Also, I continued with Angie for a total of 5 months (through my first trimester). She proactively told me that I didn't need to come during my second trimester and that I should return in the third. I was sad to see our weekly sessions end, but appreciated her honesty as it showed that she is not just doing this work for the money. I would highly recommend this center and can't wait to return in a few months! read more

Angie is a fantastic acupuncture professional. She listens to what you are dealing with and creates a path that gives you relief and helps you to rehab back to full health. She was able to unlock a frozen shoulder and heal a post-surgical site that had been a problem for more than 9 months. She is gentle and genuinely cares about her clients. Her office is clean, quiet and relaxing. I have seen acupuncturists for more than 15 years and she is the finest. A real joy. read more

I'd be remiss if I didn't provide a review for Angie. From tendonitis, muscle strains, internal organ issues, and anxiety, she has done wonders for me. Much more convenient and less invasive than "solutions" provided by Western medicine, which typically involve surgery and/or drugs with heavy side effects. If you're losing hope with the lack of results from Western medicine "treatment", give Angie a try. I was skeptical at first, but now I'm wholeheartedly aboard. If nothing else has worked for you, you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain! read more

I was so excited to find MAT (Muscle Activation Therapy) in Chicago that's covered by insurance! And in the Loop where I can go during lunch break! I used to pay for it out of pocket for the past few years because it's the only healing treatment that works on my stupid body and I was willing to try anything. I'd even tried rolfing, which is good too but really painful. I prefer MAT where they test my muscles and work on the weaknesses. They usually identify a weak muscle that I didn't realize was related to the original tightness I mention. A pain in my neck might be due to an issue in my foot or hip, for example. My flexibility and range of motion have always been terrible since childhood, I can't even reach my shins most days when I stretch to reach for my toes, but the improvement I've noticed most from MAT is that I injure myself far less. I used to get aches and pains or pull a muscle from simple everyday sort of movements, but MAT has made me more stable -- moving toward a normal human body. Ask for an appointment with Ralph Klisiewicz. A massage therapist had recommended MAT to me so I researched it and found Ralph's video, and now he's at the Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness office! The office is really nice too. I was impressed because some of the offices I go to in these Loop high-rises are dated and stuck in the seventies. This office was very modern though. It's clean but not sterile or unfriendly like a clinic, it's a little like a spa even. read more

Angie Ng is amazing!! Her acupuncture and cupping treatments have given me movement in my arm and shoulder from pain due to severe adhesive capsulitis. I also have pain from robotic surgery and she has lessened the surgery pain. The nerve loss and numbness is lessening. She's given me my quality of life back. If you doubt the treatments of acupuncture, don't!! Book with Angie, you won't regret it!! read more

Mike is an amazing! I've been seeing him for a few years for pain and migraines and he has magic hands and needles:) . Everyone here is terrific Angie and the massage therapist are wonderful. I'd highly recommend this business! read more

I've been receiving acupuncture here for for over five years. Angie is the best! I have several chronic health problems, including chronic neck pain and migraine headaches. I've tried every treatment and medication imaginable, but nothing helps as much as my regular treatments with Angie. She is professional, efficient, and very calming. I highly recommend Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness. It has been life changing for me! read more

Best acupuncture in Chicago and beyond. I travel a good bit and have experienced a fair number of offices and Angie is hands down the best I've found. She is a unique combination of knowledge, kindness and patience. She is open and deeply present to your needs. One of my favorite spots! read more

I love this place! Both Angie and Michael are amazing. I leave here feeling happy, relaxed and ready for a nice sleep. I bought a 5 pack and it's well worth it! They are both so peaceful and kind. It has truly helped me become more relaxed and hopefully will help with my medical challenges. read more

I had a successful IVF round after 2.5 months of acupuncture with Angie. I truly believe our acupuncture sessions helped improve things and led to a good outcome. Angie had me take some herbs and was very helpful. I highly recommended her. read more

Wow!! I went to a chiropractor for back and neck pain for the first half of the year and finally decided to try acupuncture... what an amazing treatment! Angie listens so thoroughly to all of the issues I'm having and is able to help treat the root of the problem. Not only has she improved the stiffness in my upper back, neck, and shoulders, but she's also given me mood and anxiety therapy and treatment for digestive problems. The procedures are painless and so relaxing. Angie makes sure you're completely comfortable with the treatment she's providing and seems to have a real passion for her work. I would most certainly recommend her practice to anyone, especially those who find that chiropractic therapy is helpful, but not quite the "above and beyond" treatment that can truly solve underlying issues. read more

I have just great things to say about Angie! After years of trying IVF we had success - a lot of it was acupuncture here! I went to all other places like NEST etc and wasted a ton of money. Angie is responsive, flexible and listens to her clients. read more

I've been in to see Angie Ng several times for acupuncture. She's always very attentive and listens to your concerns. The Diversey Ave office is open on Sundays, and she has another office downtown, which is open during the week. I appreciate that my appointments always start on time, and she isn't running behind. I think the sessions cost $85 for your first session and then $60 thereafter. read more

I started seeing Angie as I had some fertility concerns and wanted to get ahead of potential issues. To kick start the process I was seeing her twice a week for 2 months duration before we started trying - and well, we did it on our very first try! She's been great and I'm continuing to see her throughout the pregnancy. Definitely knows her stuff, answers all your questions and is very patient with me and super flexible with scheduling, I love her! read more

Angie is an amazing acupuncture practitioner! I've worked with her for over five years and her approach & insights have been life changing in reducing stress and a welcomed addition to my overall wellness. I'd highly recommend her as a trustworthy professional who will listen and offer sound treatment options. read more

Angie and Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness are amazing! I've been seeing Angie for acupuncture treatments weekly for almost a year, and I am so glad that I started doing so. As a distance runner and a lawyer, I was experiencing pretty significant physical and mental stress from years of pounding pavement and spending way too many hours at a computer -- and Angie has helped exponentially. The whole acupuncture experience is very relaxing (I almost always fall asleep, and I both hate needles and quite literally can never nap otherwise!), and my neck pain, back pain, and overall stress are much improved. The facilities are extremely clean, Angie is very flexible in terms of scheduling around a less-than-flexible work schedule, and she is great at listening to how you're feeling on a given day and adapting accordingly. I'd highly recommend acupuncture at Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness. read more

I've been going to Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness for almost two years. Originally, I went for a few injuries--back, knee and hip. Angie Ng is amazing. She listens to you and adapts her treatment to your needs every session. She helped me heal quicker than without acupuncture. My injuries are gone, but I continue to see Angie as part of my general health and wellness at least once a month. Her acupuncture can improve or change your life. I highly recommend Angie! read more

I had such an amazing experience with Angie! I had a pain in my foot two weeks out from the marathon and had tried several interventions and none seemed to work. I was referred by a friend to go see Angie, and I must admit I was a bit skeptical regarding the effectiveness of acupuncture being that wasnt too familiar with the practice. At this point I figured I had nothing to lose so I gave it a shot. The entire process was nothing short if spectacular. The ease of setting to appointment, the inviting calming acupuncture rooms, her ease, comfort, clarity and confidence in explaining the procedure but also the philosophy but my mind at ease. She was professional and passionate. She put my fears to rest as the needling process began. It was done before I know it. (I must admit I thought it would be painful and it wasn't at all). Within days I was going better and my energy level was at its peak. I recommended many friends and associates to Angie and they've all had similar experiences. If you need to get acupuncture this is the place to go. You wont be disappointed. read more

I've starting seeing Angie for acupuncture last year, mainly for chronic pain and regular migraines. Now, our sessions are part of my weekly routine! She not only has been able to minimize my migraines (they pretty much stopped once I started going often and regularly), but I find that making the time for acupuncture really allows me to rest, relax, and re-ground after a busy work week and during times when I am struggling with anxiety. I've also seen Michael for acupuncture who was also really great to work with. Both Angie and Michael bring such care, attention, and expertise into their sessions. I will also say that previous to this, I had tried acupuncture before and hadn't had much success. But I am so glad I kept trying, that I found Acupuncture for Balance and Wellness, and that it is now a regular part of my health care routine. read more

Angie is great! I went to her for some pretty severe back/nerve pain and after a few sessions I was really starting to see a difference. She is patient, asks a lot of questions and makes sure that I am comfortable. She also referred me to Dr. Martindale who is also in her office and between them both a few weeks later and my pain is almost entirely gone! I couldn't be happier! read more

I had my first visit with Angie today. She was very nice and had excellent bedside manor. This was my first ever acupuncture treatment, and she took the time to get to know me and also to answer my questions. I look forward to continuing my treatment. read more

Love this facility! Michael has been helping me with some autoimmune issues and I've already seen results after a couple sessions. The staff here is really nice and professional, space is clean! I highly recommend!! read more

Angie was great. Compassionate, knowledgeable and efficient. Will definitely go back.

Had my 1st acupuncture appointment today and loved it. I was so nervous but it didn't hurt at all. I was referred to Angie from another flight attendant. I've had lower back pain for the last few years and usually I go see a pain management doctor that administers a steroid shot. I'm looking for something more natural to heal and cure my back pain and I hope I've found it. I will see Angie in a couple of weeks but I can report that I already feel better today! The funny thing is that I had foot pain too that I didn't address with Angie today because I just wanted to fix my back and my foot pain is gone! I'm very pleased with my 1st visit and look forward to my next appointment. I know the clinic accepts most insurance but if not it only cost $85 for the first visit and $70 thereafter. read more

Angie is the best! had been experiencing periodic hip and lower back stiffness for several months after minor surgery. I had tried various medications, yoga and massage but nothing seemed to work. After a several acupuncture sessions with Angie, the stiffness has gone away! I have full mobility and am feeling as good as I did pre surgery. read more

I'm writing this review for both Angie Ng and Michael Jamlang, two acupuncturists at the 300 W Adams location. I've seen Angie off and on for the last couple of years, primarily for an elbow, finger (injuries) and back (chronic) pain. After a brief meeting at the beginning of each session to check my pain levels, she uses a mix of needles, e-stimulation, and cupping throughout the sessions to deal with my pain. She is very professional and good at what she does for a reasonable price. I usually only need to go for a few sessions before the pain subsides. I would highly recommend Angie! I've seen Michael more recently for my severe plantar fasciits pain in my foot. Like Angie, he uses a combination of needles, e-stimulation, and cupping on my foot and calf areas. He's also done some massage therapy and scraping to further reduce the pain in the foot and back areas. He's very flexible with the amount of strength he uses and adjusts his technique depending on the level and location of the pain for a given session. I would highly recommend Michael as well and hope that his availability increases at the Adams location! read more

My husband and I had been trying to conceive for almost two years. We were going to start IVF and I had heard that Acupuncture coupled with IVF increased the success. I never had Acupuncture before but was willing to try it. Angie came recommended for infertility issues. I was a bit nervous because I hate needles but Angie was very professional and the procedure was virtually painless. She listened to my ramblings and always had helpful information to give me. Sometimes I felt like Angie explained more than my IVF doctor! After several Acupuncture treatments and 1 round of IVF we are happily expecting! read more

Angie has helped me on several occasions. She is very thorough in seeking to understand what it is that I have going on and creates a treatment based on my needs. I always walk out feeling better whether for one visit or over a series of them for something more chronic. read more

After intense research on options other than Botox and other fillers for facial tightening, I was blessed to find Angie Ng. Previously I had heard about facial accupunture, but had a fear of needles. After three treatments I have seen immediate improvements. My spouse even commented on how good my skin looks. Angie is such a perfectionist, I have not felt the needles. Thank God for an alternative to placing poison in my face. I highly recommend Ms Ng. A Chew-Washington read more
