Herb and Ohm

I have benefitted tremendously from my treatment here. My daily headaches and migraines have essentially stopped. My upper back pain is gone. My neck and shoulder pain has become totally manageable and barely interferes with my day to day life anymore. I sleep better and have less anxiety knowing that if I do experience pain, acupuncture can treat it. The staff is wonderful: calming, cheerful, caring, and everything always runs on time! It is clear how dedicated Dr. Amy and her staff are to their work. It feels great being so cared for, and it definitely aids in the healing process! Do it! Simply put, acupuncture works. If you put the time into care for your body, Herb + Ōhm is the place to get you feeling better.

I’m going to start off by saying I cannot recommend Dr.Amy more! Every single person I’ve interacted with at herb+Ōhm has been a delight. Emma, who answered my frantic phone call could hear the pain and desperation in my voice; managed to get me in to meet Dr.Amy the very next day.I walked into Herb+ohm on March 29, it was an emergency, I was dealing with excruciating lower back pain that had started 3 days prior. Every day it felt worse and worse, I could barely move- I couldn’t walk, it was so bad I remember I needed help getting on and off the curb, it was awful. I had a choice- chiropractor or acupuncture, I knew my body needed a holistic approach and honestly I was afraid of getting an adjustment while being in so much pain. I remember going over a treatment plan with Dr.Amy…She made me feel so comfortable, put my anxieties at ease, explained the holistic approach and different modalities that she would use to heal me; in that moment I knew I needed her to treat me. She reminded me healing has its ebb and flow, some days might be better than others and that I needed to trust the process. I am SO glad I did.The plan was simple acupuncture twice a week for three months and then we would reevaluate. I would like to really paint the picture of what I was going through during this injury: I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t sit for more than 20min without feeling pressure and shooting pain on my lower back. I couldn’t climb steps or even get off the curb without the help of my partner. I needed help with every step, I was terrified, but stuck to the plan.Every time I would visit Dr. Amy at herb+ohm I would feel bits of relief; even though I wasn’t the most comfortable with needles, her process, technique, and manner gave me so much comfort. I remember my first session, my back was so sensitive that when I took a deep breath could feel the needles in my back because of the amount of pain that I was in. My lower back was highly sensitive and I was extremely nervous, but Dr. Amy’s bedside manner and the way she explained everything before she did it, gave me the comfort I needed to keep going back. Every session I took, I felt better and better and to my surprise within about 3 1/2 weeks of two sessions per week, I felt the difference, I was 80% better. I could get on and off Dr. Amy’s acupuncture table without any help, which was impossible when I first started; I was able to move around and walk for more than 20 minutes without being in any pain, I felt hopeful and renewed.Exactly two months to the date (May 14) I felt myself moving like I used to before the injury. I found myself going to Dr. Amy and requesting healing for other parts of my body that were sore and not just my lower back. My body finally felt pain-free and back to normal. I cannot recommend Dr.Amy any more. I am writing this review exactly 3 months and a week after my first session, I wanted to get the full experience of following Dr’s plan before I started to sing her praises; now I can finally say Dr.Amy and her team, Emma, Elyse and Michelle are AMAZING. Their level of confidence, politeness and care has been unmatched and I highly recommend making an appointment and setting up a treatment plan at herb+ohm that will work for you.A huge thank you to the herb+ohm team, they will forever be a part of my wellness routine.

Acupuncture really worked! After just one session it eliminated pain and provided an overwhelming sense of relaxation and balance.Herb and Ohm clinic is very professional, clean, has a calming atmosphere, and everyone is polite and caring. Great staff plus the expertise of Dr. Amy. Acupuncture relieved me of pain from my first session. I really couldn’t believe that, but it was true and lasted for the whole day! After 6 sessions my pain never came back. I am 100% pain free and my lumbar radiculopathy symptoms are now 90-95% resolved after 10 treatments.”

Friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and empathetic. I’ve been seeing the Herb and Ohm team to help me with my period cycle, PMS symptoms, and improving my sleep quality. Even though I’ve only been seeing them for a few months, I’m already seeing incremental improvements and feeling better since I started my treatment. I’d recommend Dr. Amy and her entire team whether you’re new to acupuncture or have done it before.

Dr. Amy is very thorough. The first time that I came in, we spent a lot of time with her just asking questions about the condition that I was in and how I think I got there, and she was also very thorough in explaining that this was a process that would take time. She laid out specific markers in terms of how youre going to feel after a couple weeks and after a month and as I look back at it now she was very accurate in what she had indicated. Ive seen significant improvement over the course of the past three to four months to the point where Ive started to work out again and add some weights into my fitness routines, which I hadnt done for some time because it seemed like everything that I did would aggravate the muscles through my shoulders and neck. The staff is also very friendly. I think even after my first time here, they knew me by name. They seem to really enjoy what they do. Theres nothing to lose, it doesnt hurt, and its actually a pleasant experience if you can believe that. I would say if nothing else been working for you, give it a try.

Acupuncture has relieved my shoulder pain. The pain has subsided significantly. I appreciate the Herb + Ohm staff and the support Ive been shown during my interactions with them. I also very much appreciate knowing now that acupuncture can assist with improving my overall well-being.

I came to acupuncture because I had lost my taste and smell (for 2 years) from long-term covid. Now I probably have about 85% increase in smell and taste since Ive been coming to Herb and Ohm. Dr. Amy really gets to know you as a patient and always asks in every session how you’re feeling so that she can support you. The staff here is also very welcoming, very kind, and very flexible as far as scheduling as well.

Acupuncture helps me manage sinus issues that Ive dealt with my whole life (and has helped me in a way that western medicine alone couldnt). It also helps me manage stress and occasional aches & pains. The staff is extremely warm and welcoming. The approach is focused and clinical, and everything were doing is clearly explained. Its also a holistic approach that has made me more aware of the connections in my everyday habits (eat, sleep, exercise, etc.) to the impact on how I feel each day. I was scared of needles when I first tried acupuncture... 10 years later, its a key part of my health maintenance routine. Truly life-changing impact for me.

Friendly staff and a warm place for acupuncture therapy. The last 6 months of therapy have allowed me achieve additional improvement from a spinal cord injury. I highly recommend Herb and Ohm.

Very friendly staff and knowledgable doctors. I enjoy all of the other healing processes used besides acupuncture like cupping, e-stim, etc. Acupuncture has helped promote the healing process in my body. If you havent been able to get to the root cause of your problem or are struggling with a chronic issue, definitely give acupuncture a try!

I’ve been a patient of Herb & Ohm for the past year and I would truly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for highly skilled acupuncturists! The Doctors and all of the staff make you feel welcome and the environment helps you feel relaxed immediately!

Herb + Ohm is a truly exceptional healthcare center located in the heart of downtown Chicago. Their commitment to their patients well-being is evident from the moment you step through their doors.My first appointment was an absolute delight, and it was followed by a handwritten thank you card that made my day. Its the little things that count, and Herb + Ohm goes above and beyond to make their patients feel valued.I was initially hesitant about trying acupuncture, fearing that it would be painful. However, the experience was entirely painless and incredibly relaxing. Its the perfect way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.Dr. Amy is an absolute gem, and her kindness and compassion make every visit a pleasure. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, and I cant recommend Herb + Ohm highly enough. If youre looking for a healthcare center that truly cares about its patients, look no further than Herb + Ohm.

I feel very taken care of by the staff and listened to by Dr. Amy. I appreciate the tailored plan and flexibility. Acupuncture is not instead of western medicine- It’s in conjunction with. Add acupuncture to any pain regimen to enhance your progress!

Would highly recommend to anyone dealing with chronic pain or rehabbing an injury. Was dealing with chronic back and nerve pain for months when I started treatment at Herb & Ohn. This was my first experience with acupuncture treatment and this has greatly improved my symptoms.

This place has been truly a life changing experience. I’ve dealt with chronic kidney and bladder issues for months and tried absolutely everything - nothing worked. Dr. Amy put me on a 3month treatment plan with acupuncture and electrotherapy. After 10 sessions so far, I feel like I have my life back. I will continue to go as it’s the only thing that works. Thank you to everyone who works there too, the staff is so wonderful. Cannot recommend this place enough! Book your appt!!

I came to Herb & Ohm for right shoulder pain. Was given a 30% improvement possibility. I gave it a try because after having done physical therapy there was no other option. My pain was like someone was stabbing my shoulder. After my treatment plan my improvement is 85% and I have no more shooting pain. I recommend acupuncture and Herb and Ohm to who ever is willing to try. Dr. Amy and the ladies she works with are all so kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. A great team and experience!!!

Dr. Amy Wolf is a miracle worker! After seeing a dentist, periodontist and sinus expert re persistent and unbearable pain in my jaw, which had been driving me crazy for 6 months, I went to Dr. Wolf, hoping someone could finally give me some relief. After only 2 sessions of acupuncture, the pain completely vanished. I highly recommend her services, and her office staff is so nice…Herb and Ohm is like a relaxing spa —a great place to rid yourself of pain and worry.

Absolutely love this place! Acupuncture has done what no other treatment or pill could ever do. It got rid of my recurring pain that kept coming back. I no longer have a soreness type of pain after a long day at work. I can stand and walk for long periods of time without pain. I love the kindness of the staff, the knowledge behind the treatments that is explained so well beforehand. The private rooms, the attention to detail of your specific problem. I was very skeptical trying acupuncture like probably most people will be but I’m glad I did! It has been a life changing experience. I no longer suffer with the pain I once had and I can’t be thankful enough for Dr. Amy and her staff who helped me achieve that with acupuncture.

Ive had acupuncture for 15 years on the East Coast before moving to Chicago. After trying three places in the city I found Herb and Ohm. The very best of the best! Ioana and team are AMAZING! Ioanas caring energy and focus on total wellness is incredible.

I have been a patient of Dr. Amy for the past few weeks and I can honestly say that my 25 year problem with nagging chronic shoulder pain has subsided. Through acupuncture, cupping, and several other medical devices, I am finally feeling more relaxed and balanced. I appreciate her candidness with explaining the process to getting better how its not an overnight fix. I have been going twice a week and doing my stretches in between. She really knows her stuff. Some of the things she has recommended to me are things that I have learned on my journey of chasing the pain. She has a vast wealth of knowledge in all areas of pain and well-being that most practitioners simply do not have. I highly recommend her to anyone suffering with physical pain.Monique P.

I’ve seen Dr. Amy Wolf at Herb + Ohm for three years & I’ve felt significantly better in many aspects of my life - migraines, hormone/cycle regulation, stress/anxiety & more.As someone who suffers from chronic migraine, Amy has been able to decrease my headache days & improve my overall wellbeing + quality of life. She is a true healer & is incredibly knowledgeable to take on whatever issue you’re facing.I 100% recommend Dr. Amy & the Herb + Ohm team to anyone looking for the best acupuncture in Chicago!

Icona is the absolute best human! Her bedside manner, holistic supplement knowledge and cupping/acupuncture has changed my life!!I have had physical injuries from 2 assaults in 2 days, that absolutely have healed best possible due to my treatments here at Herb and Om!From the moment you walk in the door, you realize that everything from the ambiance to staff is top notch.Thank you Doctor Amy and Ivona!!

Before meeting Dr. Amy, Dr. Iona, and their team, I had been struggling with persistent arm and elbow pain for well over a year. Acupuncture seemed unlikely to help and remained off my radar. However, after a series of thorough treatments, any doubts I had were completely dissolved.They crafted a personalized program that initially targeted my arm injury, but as the sessions went on, they also addressed other areas of tension and imbalance in my body that I hadnt even thought to mention. Their holistic approach relieved my pain and has helped my journey of total-body strength and wellness.The teams exceptional blend of warmth and professionalism makes every visit profoundly impactful.I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Amy, Dr. Iona, and their team. They didnt just alleviate my arm pain—they made me a true believer in the power of acupuncture.

Dr. Amy has been amazing. I came to her with intense pain and lack of mobility in my shoulder due to frozen shoulder which has been going on for weeks. Dr. Amy suggested a specific course of action And in just a few weeks my pain had reduced by half and I was able to sleep through the night. This was life changing and my official therapist was amazed. As we continued treatment my pain became less and less and mobility has increased. I couldnt believe the results that I saw. The staff is wonderful. Highly recommend based on my experience.

Dr. Amy is truly exceptional! From the very first moment I walked through the doors of her office, I was enveloped in a genuine sense of welcome, care, and complete ease. Dr. Amy has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure that my health and wellness are always her top priority.Moreover, I cannot praise Dr. Amys staff enough. Their dedication to providing the absolute best care possible to each and every patient is nothing short of remarkable.

Hi, While in Chicago for a short visit from Paris, I went to see Dr. Amy because needed relief for chronic knee and sciatic pain. After proposing a treatment plan of 5 consecutive days of acupuncture, my pains have practically vanished. My sciatic pain was reduced by 80% during the 2nd session when Dr Amy used a special technique. It was really amazing! If you want acupuncture I’d highly recommend Dr Amy and her team for professional, empathetic and effective treatments in a relaxing environment.

Dr. Amy is a highly skilled acupuncturist. Her and her staff are excellent. Everyone at Herb and Ohm is very passionate about the power of acupuncture and they take great pride in the healing work they provide. The space is calming and peaceful. You cannot be in better hands for your TCM and acupuncture needs than Herb and Ohm.

Going to Herb and Ohm changed my life. It brought me from a place of constant anxiety which caused great fear in my life to bringing me back to myself and feeling calm and “normal” again. I’m so grateful to Dr Amy and her entire staff for being so kind and welcoming throughout the entire process. You’re in the best hands possible! I completely trust her and her entire team to assist/take care of me with any issues that may arise in the future.

I had an acute strain in my neck and shoulders that had been building for about a week and all of a sudden became unbearable- Dr. Amy was able to work her magic with the acupuncture needles and after a half hour my pain was completely gone. Im still in awe of the efficacy of this treatment and want to shout it from the rooftops! This is a real solution for pain. Really appreciate the treatment at Herb and Ohm. Thank you!

I am currently in the doctorate program at PCHS for Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Dr. Amy has been a great resource for me and is someone I look up to.I have been seeing Dr. Amy at Herb & Ohm for over a year now and she has helped manage my anxiety, pain, and GI related issues. Her acupuncture treatments have had great success and helped me feel more balanced.She has great needle technique and is able to work with points on me that many other practitioners have a hard time with.I highly recommend going to Herb & Ohm for a treatment.

I’m so happy I found Herb + Ohm, I was struggling with back pain that wouldn’t go away with other treatments so I decided to try acupuncture for the first time. Dr. Amy came up with a treatment that plan that worked wonders and now I have no back pain. The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable and I would recommend them to anyone!

Staff is great. Always kind and accommodating. Treatment rooms are very clean and comfortable. I have enjoyed my treatments.

Okay so I have to give a great review to Amy because never in a million years did I think I would stop being so upset at the world for the first time in years I feel in peace and in love with life. I have stopped clenching and me and my husband are getting along like never before. I didnt think acupuncture would be the key but just with a couple of visits I have noticed so many great things thank you Herb and ohm team for being so amazing this place is also so relaxing clean my only regret is not knowing of this place sooner Im In love!!

Myself & some co workers decided to go to herb & Ōhm to test the waters with acupuncture & cupping. We all found the experience very gratifying & relieving & really loved how we were treated as soon as we walked in the door. The space is beautiful & extremely clean as well! I personally worked with Jenna & she did an amazing job at explaining the different types of treatment & what I could expect from each one. She was great at answering any questions I had & is truly passionate about what she does. I myself will definitely be going back soon & my Co workers also agreed they’ll be back as well!

5 stars honestly does not do this place justice. It is not an exaggeration to say this place changed my life. I cannot recommend Dr. Gabriella Rivera enough!Long story short, I had never tried acupuncture before and came into my first appointment with a multitude of complaints. I had been especially struggling with eczema and anxiety. Dr. Rivera made me feel at-ease with the process of acupuncture and recommended a course of treatment.After weekly treatments for a little over 2 months, there is a night and day difference. My eczema has healed to the point where I no-longer need to use steroid creams. My anxiety levels have lowered so much that I no-longer need to have regular therapy sessions.Dr. Rivera has also helped balance my digestive system, hormones and much more. She has even recommended diet and lifestyle changes that have made such a big difference in how I feel.I feel so much more in-control of my body and I would recommend Dr. Rivera to all of my friends!

Amy is wonderful. She has helped me deal with stress and her treatment of my chronic elbow pain has left me pain free for the first time in months. I could not be happier with my treatment. Before I started visiting Herb and Ohm, I was averaging about 2 hours of sleep per night due to my anxiety. Amy has not only helped with pain and stress during our treatment sessions, but she has helped my transform my entire life outside of my visits. Amy suggested several exercises and habits that help me deal with my stress and I now feel like a completely different person. I now sleep through the night, every night and my energy is through the roof. I continue to visit Herb and Ohm at least once a month and each visit has amazing effects on my mood and body. Thank you, Amy!

Decided to leverage acupuncture as a non-surgical intervention for CTS. TL; DR trust the process and lean into the treatments. The Staff are superb and champion the process at every turn. It’s been a bit surreal regaining sensation after having such absent for a period of 10+ months. Looking forward to continued treatment in the months ahead.

Ive referred many patients to Herb and Ohm for some time now who have all had great experiences with Dr. Amy and her team.Recently I also began to see Carissa for acupuncture and Chinese medicine. At the evaluation, Carissa took a detailed history of my concerns and problems, and looked to truly understand what was driving them. She gave me a detailed description of how we would tackle my complaints and Ive been incredibly happy thus far with how treatment has gone.I would highly recommend Carissa, Dr. Amy, and her team to anyone.

Dr. Amy Wolf gave a very thorough consultation and review of how acupuncture can facilitate achieving my treatment goals. She gave plenty of time for questions and provided thoughtful answers. Moreover, her integrative approach helps you to understand the value of the other environmental and lifestyle influences that affect healing. The office was a very inviting space and staff were friendly. I look forward to pursuing treatment here.

Absolutely my favorite place to get acupuncture done. They are extremely professional, and I always feel relaxed after each session. It’s helped me with anxiety, depression, nerve pain, and digestion. 10/10

I originally came to Herb + Ohm to work on knee pain from an injury - which was very quickly resolved after a few acupuncture and moxibustion sessions. I now have been seeing Ioana Vanca as regularly as I can fit into my busy schedule for just over two years. I’ve found eastern medicine to be the perfect antidote to a stressful job and travel schedule. Specifically, cosmetic acupuncture, along with gua sha and cupping, have made a major positive impact on my skin, mood, and overall health.

Dr. Wolf takes a comprehensive approach to treating patients and has an intuition I have yet to encounter in a medical professional. Grateful to have her on my health care team!

When Im seeking a healthcare provider, there is a list of characteristics I keep in mind during my first visit:- it needs to be welcoming- my wait time is minimal- the provider listens to me- I understand the provider- the provider educates and involves me with decisions about next steps- insurance is accepted and/or the visit is affordableIm happy to report that H&O met and exceeded all of the above during my first visit. And it is important to mention that 10 months later, I still feel that way every time I have an appointment.A typical experience is as follows: Alexis greets me, offers me tea or water, and invites me to sit and relax. Within a minute or two, Dr. Wolf comes out and asks me to follow her to a room. We sit and talk about how Im feeling, the progress with my treatment overall, and then we mutually decide what to focus on for that day.Why did I seek out acupuncture in the first place? I had 5 frustrating years of stomach issues that led to multiple hospitalizations and appointments with specialists but resulted in no diagnosis or treatment plan. Enough friends had success with various issues (allergies, fertility, anxiety, chronic pain) through acupuncture that I realized I needed to try something new because typical western medicine was not giving me answers or relief.Long story short - within the 90 minute consultation, Dr. Wolf suspected that I had food allergies and my system was overall weakened due to chronic inflammation and toxicity. I have to admit, I was skeptical that someone could give me an answer so quickly after Id been to some of the best specialists in the country (and went through many invasive and expensive tests,) AND within the next 3 weeks, it was evident she was right!Treatment plan was acupuncture and the Whole30. Within the first week of Whole30, I was literally shrinking - the inflammation was disappearing. By the end of the month, I lost 12 pounds, eliminated the daily bloating and pain, slept better, my system was regular again, and my body temperature seemed to normalize (versus running hot all day long). The acupuncture, which is always a highlight in my week, gives me the best nap and feeling of strength after every session.Fast forward to 10 months later, I have firm answers on what caused my ailments and I feel in control of my health and well-being again. It is nice to mention that Ive lost 35 pounds, I am down to half an allergy pill per day versus 4 medications, and my stomach ailments are resolved (no more meds for that either). Periodically I will come in with some other random ailments (back pain, UTI, sinus issues, PMS, etc.) and I ask if she has any ideas. She always has an answer, the treatment alway works (seriously, I tease her that she works magic), and I am now a huge fan of gua sha.Finally, I highly recommend H&O and send my sincere thanks to Alexis and Dr. Wolf.

Dr Amy and her staff are top notch! They are well organized and professional. DrAmy is patient focused in her communication and treatment plans. I drive an hour for their expertise!

I am in the Healthcare industry and I’ve been to many, many different types of practices. Herb and Ohm is by far, the best healthcare practice I’ve come across. I came in for allergy and skin issues, and I’ve come out with those issues addressed and better physical and mental health. This team is world class and I will be a long term patient throughout my life.

Dr. Rivera is really a great doctor. I got Bell palsy when I first came to Herb and Ohm she listened to me carefully. After few times of treatments I felt like I’m getting better and better. It’s almost be cured.

Amazing ambience coupled with professional atmosphere and highly knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend Herb and Ohm to everyone who is looking for a one stop solution to a wide spectrum of healthcare needs!

Unpleasant experience. I’m not the type to leave a review, but here I am… there is nothing “luxurious” about this place like they claim. Very unprofessional Dr. who couldn’t wait to discuss payment. I scheduled an appointment to get educated and have the experience on a first time treatment, yet that was not so much the case!

One of the most incredible places ever! Highly recommend. Beautiful office and amazing Acupuncturist. ⚡️⚡️

I’ve been having headaches for the last couple weeks. Came to see Dr. Amy today and it was the first time I felt relief. Can’t say enough good things about her and her staff!! ❤️❤️❤️

This practice rocks — from the calming decor to the knowledgeable and friendly staff. When attention is paid to the small things, you know you are in capable hands. Pride of ownership is abundant.

This is a nice place and have a rest from daily live. I came her with my girlfriend.Dr.Gabby treat her nicely and carefully. Few time treatment later she is getting better. Strongly recommend.

Only have been going a couple of weeks and already feel a difference! Mentally and physically- so happy to have made this part of my lifestyle

Great treatment, great service and also great results!

Ioana is the best! She provides her insights and takes her time.

Absolutely amazing and consistent results!

Ended up being a great and relaxing experience!
