Angie Ng
Angie Ng is a licensed acupuncturist and board certified by the National
Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
She graduated with highest honors from the Midwest College of Oriental
Medicine in Chicago, one of the first established acupuncture colleges in
the country. She is a member of the Illinois Association of Acupuncture
and Oriental Medicine (ILAAOM). Additionally, she is trained and
certified as a personal trainer and has been a fitness and nutrition
enthusiast for 15 years.
Angie's interest in Chinese Medicine began as a child growing up in a traditional Chinese household where herbs and foods
were routinely used as therapy for common ailments. This interest grew
into fascination years later when acupuncture helped resolve some of her
own troublesome health issues while conventional medicine provided
unsatisfactory results. She had always been a believer in the body's own
strength and capacity to heal and acupuncture proved to be an effective
form of therapy that encouraged that natural healing process with no
negative side effects. After experiencing the powerful effects of
acupuncture, she decided to make a dramatic career change from her
corporate job to become an acupuncturist in order help others experience
the benefits of this amazing form of therapy. Angie's approach to
treating her patients is highly individualized and holistic. She
carefully listens to and builds a strong relationship with her patients in
order to develop a detailed and clear picture of each patientŐs overall
health and unique needs. From this, a comprehensive treatment plan that
not only addresses the presenting complaint, but also treats the root
cause of the condition is developed. She uses not only acupuncture but
also other time-tested techniques within the umbrella of Chinese Medicine
to effectively treat a wide range of conditions that stem from both
physical and emotional imbalances.
In addition, she believes in empowering her patients to take a proactive role in their own health by
counseling them in diet, exercise, meditation, and other lifestyle
changes. In this way, effective and lasting results are achieved.
Having successfully juggled an active lifestyle, a full time job, and
going to school to pursue her passion, Angie understands the challenges
and stress that a busy schedule can bring. She believes that balance is
the key to health, and uses this as a guiding principal in her approach to
treating her patients, regardless of what ails them. Among the conditions
she treats are sports injuries, pain problems, digestive disorders,
emotional disorders, smoking addiction, allergies, menstrual issues, and
more.
