my ob has recommended i try acupuncture to help alleviate some of my severe morning sickness. i'm currently taking zofran which is not helping. and i'm becoming more miserable every day. i need a recommendation for an acupuncturist in the chicago (irving park, north center area) vicinity.
This has been my go-to place for acupuncture and they specialize in helping women with all phases of pregnancy/childbirth. J. has been super helpful for me in the past! They probably aren't too far from you either:

Hope that helps!
Congrats on your pregnancy. I loved my accupuncturist and I lived in North Center - this place is right off of Montrose and Damen. Her name is Kellie Lee Whiteside and here's the info:

They have free valet parking as well!
Good luck!
You could try Pacific College of Oriental Medicine on Broadway and Grace. Cheaper since they're students, but they don't do anything without supervisor approval. I had a great experience there myself.
I live in North Center. I have used acupuncture faithfully and really believe that it works. I have used both Harmony Health (Lakeview area) and Pulling Down the Moon (near Japonais, 900 N. Kingsbury). I received good care at both places but really liked Pulling Down the Moon the best. Harmony Health is right on the L track and not too quiet in some of the rooms. Pulling down the Moon has awesome therapists and it's very relaxing. they concentrate on fertiility medicine and management.
I go to Raul Beltran at Acupuncture at Lakeview. He's really good and located in the professional building at Illinois Masonic. There's easy parking at meters or in the parking structure.
He has cured me of ortho problems that my doctor insisted needed surgery and also treated me for other issues. I highly recommend him.
Sorry I don't have a reference for you, but in the mean time have you tried the Sea-Bands? I had all day sickness with my daughter for 7 months, and those helped. You can find them at any drug store for about $9-10. Good luck!
I have the BEST acupuncturist. I had severe nausea and acid reflux which she helped with during my last pregnancy. Her name is Elaine Vozar and she is with imagine Health. You can reach her at
