“The
hidden secret on the near West side. When
I first made an appointment for a massage therapy
session at CHIME, I thought, 'What a great way to
relieve the stress from the everyday hustle and
bustle.' Obviously, I did not know what I was in
for. The next appointment I made was for
acupuncture, and that is when I realized the real
value of CHIME. It is not just a place to relieve
stress or provide therapy for those physical parts
that don’t work as well as they used to, but it is
also a place where one’s mind, body, and spirit
become aligned and function as one.
The staff represents the best
Chicago has to offer in Oriental Medicine, and they
are very down to earth. We are blessed to
have a place like CHIME serving the Norwegian
Hospital community.”

"Several years ago I became interested in Feng Shui
which is the ancient Chinese art of improving every
aspect of one's life by enhancing the environment
according to the principles of harmony and energy
flow. By seeing my surroundings in a new light and
by "excavating the clutter" I found I could move
forward in ways that previously eluded me. When I
began to experience arthritis, particularly in my
feet, it was disabling in both mind and body.
Traditional methods of treatment were ineffective.
On a whim, I thought I would try acupuncture at the
CHIME clinic. Within six weeks my arthritis had
completely subsided and I have been without distress
for over four months. I have sought further balance
with regular massage sessions which I would also
highly recommend. Many people are skeptical of
alternative medicine and find
the
thought of being punctured with needles less than
inviting. I am not a big fan of needles myself but
the procedure is painless and it has been near
miraculous in helping me to clear the "body clutter"
that medication had only blurred.
When all your alternatives
have failed....try CHIME. You will not be
disappointed."
