Acupuncture is effective for treating lymphedema. Improvements in alleviating discomfort, softening tissues, increasing mobility and reducing the size of the affected limb are usually evident from the first treatment on. There are no negative side-effects and the gains are long-lasting. It enables the patient to return to suitable exercises in comfort. Herbs that open and promote flow in the small vessels are helpful. Treatment aims at restoring the functioning of the circulatory system to absorb and get rid of the stuck fluids.

After six wonderful years at the Lakeview Oakdale Ave office, I have moved my Chicago practice to Lakeshore Integrative Healthcare at 2731 N. Lincoln Avenue in Lincoln Park. It is a very short distance move: only a few blocks away but the atmosphere is very different. Of course I like the new office. Come visit and tell me what you think.

One of my most favorite pictures, 2006: with Tamara at Kikar Tziyon. We were volunteering treatments for victims of bombings at the community center there.

Evening hours for Lakeview office on Mondays and Wilmette office on Tuesdays extended to 9:00 PM.
