“Michael is FANTASTIC! I've been getting acupuncture treatments for 3+ years. It was hard finding the right acupuncturist who understands you and care about your concern. I tried acupuncture with Michael for the first in 2021 at the Aligned Modern Health in South Loop. I went in with a severe neck and shoulder tightness. I would get a headache every now and then. After just one treatment, my body felt like a load was lifted off. Since then, I have been coming to see Michael 2-3 times a week on a regular basis. He's an amazing at acupuncturist! I usually fall asleep right away while he puts needles on my back -- no pain at all! He's also wonderful at massages and cupping to unwind muscle knots and puts you back in alignment. I have been very impressed with Michael and his bedside manner. He consistently makes sure that he understands your concern and talk you through treatments that are most suitable for you. Michael is personable, caring, methodical and professional. He takes pride in what he does and he cares about his patients! What more could you ask for! Highly recommended!!”

Love working with Michael! His techniques have really helped with my shoulder and neck pain. Highly recommend!
Dr. Michael is the best acupuncturist I have ever worked with! I highly recommend him.
Dr. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and very dedicated to his profession.

Michael always takes particular attention to listen to all of the concerns even if they aren't related to ensure you have the best outcome. He uses a variety of modalities and pays specific attention to their order so your treatment isn't just necessary, but relaxing.
Doing these sessions really helped me with my fertility journey. Micheal was great and the atmosphere was super relaxing and pleasant.
Mike was extremely attentive, listened to my concerns and worked with my care team (currently at Aligned modern health) to create a plan to help relieve my pain. I knew acupuncture has scientific evidence for help with pain relief, but what I appreciated most about his style was blending techniques to find what worked best for my body and pain. I’m about 6 weeks into treatment after dislocating my shoulder and my pain is not just manageable but minimal. He experimented with traditional methods and newer techniques such as cupping and estim. It was this blend that really made the treatment innovative and customized!
I have been treated by Michael for the past six weeks and he is awesome. I have been doing acunpulture and cupping with him, and the treatments are definitely helping my back pain. Michael is very patient, easy to talk to and knowledgeble. I highly recommend him. I will definitely continue my treatment with him.
Dr. Michael is wonderful! He truly takes the time to listen to all of my concerns and the services I receive from him are always excellent. Dr. Michael is so welcoming and ensures that I am properly informed on my health and care. Everyone on the staff is great! They are all very helpful and friendly and I would definitely recommend.
I can not say enough great things about Dr. Michael Jamlang. During our first session, Dr. Jamlang patiently listened to me as I outlined a long laundry list of evolving health challenges that I have experienced over the past five years. Drastically different from the 15 minute visits that I am accustomed to having with my general practitioner, Dr. Jamlang did not minimize my concerns but helped me to understand the possible connectivity of the alignments that I was experiencing. Each session entails a short discussion, acupuncture, body work, and cupping. At the end of each session I truly feel more energized, present, and relaxed than when I entered his office. For anyone who is intrigued and open to the benefits of alternative medicine as it relates to stress managment and relief, I strongly encourage you to give Dr. Jamlang a try!

Michael is an excellent treatment provider! I suffer from chronic back and shoulder pain as well as an injury in my lower back. Mike’s acupuncture and cupping has literally relieved me of so much pain! I highly recommend!
Michael Jamlang is totally awesome - knowledgeable and skilled. He genuinely cares about you, your health and your experience. I can't recommend him enough. He is kind, attentive, pleasant and a great sense of humor. I followed him to Aligned Medical from his previous location that closed during the pandemic. I've gone to acupuncturists over the years. Michael is great.
Stop searching for your acupuncturist and make an appointment with Michael right now. He is compassionate, listens to your concerns and actually takes the time to make sure you are comfortable with your treatment objectives. I followed him from his previous practice to his current one because he is THE best. He's even funny ;) 10/10 rating and would recommend to everyone I know.
I have really been enjoying my visits. I started coming to treat my fibromyalgia pains. I was highly recommended to Michael and he has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. I look forward to seeing him every week.
Amazing provider!
Mike was incredibly friendly and thorough with his examination and treatment. He explained all of the treatments to me and made me feel very comfortable. Definitely one of the most knowledgeable acupuncturists I have seen!
Awesome Awesome Awesome!!! Very happy with my treatment and experience with Michael. I have was having lower back pain for about 4-5 months and was getting help from a different chiropractor and it was not really getting better. After two treatments he completely fixed it! I was amazed! Also I am a big runner and am currently training for some ultra marathons, and he helped tremendously with my plantar fasciitis. I was at the point where I thought I would have to hang up my shoes and postpone training but not the case after seeing Michael. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!
Hello everyone! I’ve made much much progress here with my stomach pain and stress issues And thanks to Michael , my future, my healthy future is here. This actual clinic features some of the most intelligent, caring people and a great acupuncturist.A great friend recommended Michael Jamlang to me and to pay it forward I want to say that I am confident this place will be your favorite place to get treatment .
I’ve seen several acupuncture doctors over the years and Mike is hands down the best. He is attentive, thorough, and truly cares. Most docs I’ve seen in the past have thrown some needles and let me sit for god knows how long. Mike does NOT do this....he checks on you several times, will work several different areas of concern in one session and LISTENS to what you need! I’ve never had to wait on him....in particular once you are in the room waiting for treatment. I’ve had doctors say they’d be “right back” and came back 20 minutes later. Not Mike, he provides an indicator to tell him when you are ready and he’s in there moments later. I can’t say enough good things about him or acupuncture in general. I am very athletic and constantly have tight, sore muscles. Most people want to get massages for this which, don’t get me wrong, feel great, but do not really do much. This feels great AND works. I challenge you to try it instead of a massage, especially w Mike as he incorporates some of that work to help him find tight areas. You won’t regret!!
Michael is beyond wonderful! I’ve been very fortunate to be a client of his for over a year now. For someone who is so deathly afraid of needles, I really enjoy acupuncture now. I am so grateful to Michael & my acupuncture appointments. I feel relaxed & my multiple pregnancy symptoms are resolved after each appointment. He is very accommodating & professional. I highly recommend him. Thank you so much, Michael!
I've been seeing Michael for about 6 months for acupuncture and to treat my migraines. I recently started seeing him at Aligned in the South Loop. He does a fantastic job with acupuncture and cupping and I've found that it alleviates my headaches. I'd recommend Michael to anyone interested in acupuncture or cupping!
Mike is amazing! I have been to several acupuncturists around the city and he has a magical touch. The needles are almost always placed with barely a tick and he has the capacity to use multiple tools of the trade as needed. Over the years I have been coming to him, I continue to be impressed at his depth of knowledge and skillfulness of practice. He’s so very attentive, understanding, and is just brilliant. I can’t recommend him any more highly. You won’t regret your visit.
Michael has taken care of me for several injuries ranging from after care for a separated shoulder to after care for knee reconstruction. I’ve enjoyed cupping, massage, and acupuncture and Michael is an excellent practitioner. His bedside manner, fantastic personality, and depth of knowledge makes him a person i go back to over and over!
I had never had acupuncture before. Mike put me at ease and has been fixing my back pain. It’s working so well that I work really long days and never feel pain. I also always look forward to my next visit. I think it says a lot when you are happy to go see a medical professional.
Mike is an extremely professional and knowledgeable acupuncturist. His combination of body work (massage therapy) and traditional acupuncture techniques make for an ideal combination when treating my chronic aches and pains.
Mike really helped my arthritis symptoms and other pain associated with long work hours and heavy travel. So grateful for Mike's expertise and friendly care! Highly recommend!
I’ve been a regular consumer of acupuncture for the last few years. I was grateful for my recent experience working with Mike. He is deeply knowledgeable and does a wonderful job listening to my needs and concerns before our sessions. It is clear during the session that he cares about how I am feeling and is evident that he has a great deal of experience and expertise in acupuncture. As a result, I feel better, refreshed, and continue to work with him to optimize my health and highly recommend Mike as a provider.
