We LOVE making a difference in our patients’ lives and what’s more fundamental than your sleep?! We’re elated Jodi found us and finally got some relief 🛌

Full Review:

“I sought help from Palmgren for relief from insomnia, and I couldn’t be happier with the professionalism in the office culture and the consistently thoughtful, comprehensive, and holistic approach that characterizes Lynn’s treatment. Lynn is an exceptionally good listener. She is deeply engaged in her work, asks good questions, and takes her time to get to know her patients. Above all, her treatments brought me significant relief. I cannot recommend Palmgren more highly.” -Jodi C, Oak Park, IL

Giving MAJOR recognition to our acupuncturist, Kholood El-Helo today 🥳🔥

She’s been kicking 🍑 and taking names lately, coming in an extra day this week to help even more people feel their best 🥹🫶🏻

Within the next week, she’ll have seen almost 30 patients at our clinic 😱 despite the time crunch, she brings her bubbly spirit, warm energy, and astrology-knowledge to each and every interaction with her patients. If you’ve met or worked with Kholood, you know exactly what I’m talking about 🩵

We love you Kholood!! 💝

Ten years ago this month something happened to me which changed my life forever 😮

I’d been out of acupuncture school for less than a year. As you may know I started my practice in a town I knew hardly anyone 😅 I’m sure you can imagine how empty my practice was in the beginning 🫣 I remember crying on the phone with my student loan provider because I’d called too late to cancel a payment and that was going to be my grocery money for the month 🥲

That’s when I got a job in downtown Chicago working for a small medical malpractice firm. I had been a lawyer in a previous life in case you didn’t know ⚖️

I’d treat patients at 7, 8 am and take the train into my law job and work 6-7 hours each day (and it was billable hour too 😝) Then come back to Oak Park to treat patients until 8 pm. I was so tired I remember falling asleep on the train 😴 But I just kept going, determined to build a practice. And slowly I did.

And in July 2014, I put in my notice and worked my last day for someone else 🤗 And never looked back. My husband Nick (also an acupuncturist) joined that same year and together we grew our practice into 6 practitioners and 2 administrative assistants. And we’ve helped over ten thousand clients 🥂

Running a small business isn’t easy as you can imagine 😱But I’m content not working for anyone else. Even on its worst days, I remember to keep going forward and keep showing up. And the rewards will come 🏆

Thanks to you all for supporting, and loving on us 🥰

Much love,
Lynn
Your favorite acupuncturist ❤️

Our Story

Palmgren Acupuncture opened its doors in 2013. Since then, we have proudly called Oak Park home. Owned and operated by husband and wife team, Nick and Lynn Arestopoulos, LAc., we love helping people live healthier, fuller, and longer lives. We specialize in pain management, stress reduction, and weight loss. We’re passionate about encouraging people to try acupuncture and massage to accomplish their health goals.

Our team is fired up about healing the world with Traditional Chinese Medicine and massage. We’re motivated by our mission to prevent unnecessary surgeries and medications so people can achieve optimal health. We’re proud to be the recipient of the 2019 Small Business Superhero Award from the Oak Park - River Forest Chamber of Commerce.

We started as a small clinic with 1 practitioner and 1 treatment room and have grown to 4 amazing practitioners and now 4 treatment rooms. We’re grateful to be a part of this community and offer love and acceptance to everyone we’re able to help.

As we adapt to the world around us, we are offering online/virtual services to help even more people during this epidemic. Our physical clinic is closed temporarily until further notice. We’re devoted to keeping you happy and healthy through it all.
