Urban Acupuncture, Kyla Boles LAc

Urban Acupuncture, Kyla Boles LAc Using an integrative approach of Chinese and Functional Medicine for whole body wellness. We provide quality, affordable health care services.

At Urban Acupuncture, our vision is to make the benefits of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine readily available to everyone in the Chicago/Lakeview community. All of our treatments are given with the whole person in mind. We create a comfortable, safe environment to meet your health needs. Most people seek out Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine after a disappointing experience with Western medication and treatments. Even the strongest medications sometimes only mask symptoms. True healing can only begin when the body heals itself. Often times, Eastern Medicine is a beneficial compliment and can improve the efficacy of Western medicine. As a registered acupuncturist LAC, I have had the opportunity to heal patients through a wide variety of acupuncture and eastern medicine practices. Please review the conditions treated page to see if acupuncture and eastern medicine might be appropriate for you. Please contact me for a free 15 minute consultation or simply to book an appointment. If you’re recovering from or struggling with a health problem there is only one reason: your body’s self- healing mechanisms haven’t done their job. Sometimes just a little help is needed. Urban Acupuncture is located in the Lakeview area, with easy access via car or public transportation (Paulina Brown line or Belmont Redline).

When anxiety spikes, it's not "all in your head"—it's in your nervous system.\n\nResearch shows acupuncture helps activate your body's natural calm switch, nudging your nervous system toward rest-and-digest mode (Amorim, 2019). It's also linked with higher GABA—your brain's natural calming signal—and steadier stress hormones.\n\nTranslation: fewer spirals, more steadiness, and a nervous system that remembers how to settle. Best part? No serious side effects were reported across the trials.\n\nAt Urban Acupuncture, we choose gentle, soothing points to help your system downshift and find calm again.\n\nCall +1-773-727-5042 or visit https://urbanacupuncturechicago.com to learn more.\n\nSource: Amorim, Daniela, et al. 2019. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31760440/

Ever wonder why your acupuncturist cringes when you mention loving ice water? In Traditional Chinese Medicine, extreme cold is said to constrict energy flow, impair digestion, thicken mucus, and deplete vitality. Even modern research advises against icing injuries. Sip on warming teas instead to stoke your inner fire. For more TCM wisdom, visit Urban Acupuncture Chicago at https://urbanacupuncturechicago.com or call +17737275042

Think detox is all willpower and prescriptions? There's another option: ear acupuncture.

Hospitals in London used it during opioid detox, and more people completed treatment (Boseley, 2022).

How? It calms your stress response and helps your body release natural endorphins—so cravings become easier to manage and hard days feel more do-able.

For centuries, herbs have been used to support both the physical and emotional heart—and modern research continues to confirm what traditional medicine has always known.

Here are a few of my favorite heart-supportive herbs:

Cacao – Rich in antioxidants to protect the cardiovascular system. In Chinese medicine, it also lifts the spirit and helps you reconnect with joy.
Cinnamon – A warming herb that stimulates circulation and helps move blood and energy throughout the body.
Linden – Gentle, calming, and nourishing for both the physical and emotional heart.
Hawthorn – A classic heart tonic that supports cardiovascular and digestive health while also uplifting mood.
Motherwort – Known for easing palpitations and emotional stress, especially during hormonal transitions.
Skullcap – A soothing nervine that calms the mind, supports sleep, and cools excess heat in the heart.

Herbs may be small, but their impact on the heart—physically and emotionally—can be powerful.

Relief doesn't have to be dramatic to be life-changing. Sometimes it's just a quieter belly and a normal day.

In a randomized study, people with IBS experienced about 40% fewer symptoms with acupuncture—roughly double the improvement of the control group. They reported steadier bowel movements, less cramping, and better quality of life (Lee, 2021).

Think: fewer urgent bathroom trips, calmer mornings, and a gut that feels more predictable. Acupuncture helps restore your digestive rhythm and calm inflammatory signals so your system can reset.

If your week needs that kind of ease, find us at Urban Acupuncture. Call +1-773-727-5042 or visit https://urbanacupuncturechicago.com

Here's the surprising part: acupuncture doesn't chase sadness directly. Instead, it calms your nervous system and helps restore sleep. When your nights become less restless and your mind feels safe, mornings naturally get lighter.

In a large real-world study on depression care, people who included acupuncture were more likely to be out of their diagnosis at six months—about 47% vs 33%. They also used fewer sleeping pills and needed fewer medication changes along the way (Jin, 2022).

At Urban Acupuncture, sessions are designed to help your body shift from "on edge" to "I can finally breathe." Many patients say their first win is deeper sleep, followed by a steadier mood.
