Expert Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for the Greater Chicago Area
At Five Element Chicago, located in Northbrook, my mission is to move beyond paccifying symptoms and instead to focus on the root cause of your health concerns—the Causative Factor. My Five-Element diagnostic model is unique because it considers the whole person; physical and emotional well-being are inextricably linked. I believe that when we strengthen the body's innate ability to heal itself, we can resolve the symptoms while also helping the patient feel more like themselves.
Specialized Care for Life’s Most Sensitive Transitions
My background allows me to support patients from across Chicago through a vast range of unique challenges. I often work with individuals seeking relief from chronic migraines and allergies, but my practice also extends to deeply sensitive areas. I provide specialized care for those navigating smoking or drinking cessation, morning sickness, and even complex issues like stuttering or eye pain. I am also dedicated to providing a compassionate, stable presence for those at the end of life or those struggling with suicidal ideation.
Dr. Reiman's Journey
Since 2015 Dr. Reiman has had the honor of learning extensively from master (M.A.P.) acupuncturists Neil R. Gumenick, Eliot Ivanhoe, Mary McCullough and Charles Moss MD; as well as Lee Zeitlin (PharmD), JR Worsley’s personal physician and pharmacist of over 30 years. After Dr. Reiman completed his formal training at The Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Gainesville Florida, he continued to receive a doctorate from The American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco California where he researched the treatment of Bell's palsy with acupuncture. In 2018, Dr. Reiman was invited to teach at Neil Gumenick’s internationally recognized Institute of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture in Los Angeles California, and to practice alongside renowned and now-retired cranial osteopath Richard A. Feely, DO in downtown Chicago at The Feely Center for Optimal Health from 2017-2022.
Dr. Reiman is now partnered with one of Chicago Magazine’s top doctors, Cathie Dunal, MD, MPH, board certified in public health and preventative medicine, and has been in practice at More Than Medicine MD in Northbrook, Illinois since 2023.
Dr. Reiman was drawn to the field of medicine following a TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) injury in 2010. His injury resulted in Dr Reiman forming a unique bond with dentists, osteopaths, pharmacists, and healers who stewarded his education in ancient and modern medicine.
A Collaborative and Strategic Path to long-term Stability
I believe in collaborative healthcare and frequently work in tandem with MDs and other specialists to ensure my patients receive the most comprehensive care possible. My goal is not just to provide a one-time treatment but to set a new course for your physiology. Initially, I see patients weekly to encourage stability, with the ultimate goal of transitioning to seasonal "tune-ups" five times per year. This strategic frequency ensures your body maintains its newfound balance long-term.
Your True Potential for Total Balance and Health
At Five Element Chicago, you are not just a list of symptoms; you are a unique individual with the potential for total balance and health. We treat the core of who you are, acknowledging that true wellness is a dynamic state of being. By addressing your specific root imbalance, we unlock the door to a more vibrant and resilient version of yourself, helping you navigate life with renewed vitality and peace.
