Pain, Injury, Fertility, & Whole-Body Healing
From chronic back pain and acute injuries to pregnancy discomfort and fertility challenges, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine help reduce inflammation, relieve muscle tension, restore healthy movement, and balance the body comprehensively.
We regularly help patients recover from:
- Back and neck pain
- Hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder injuries or pain
- Foot, ankle, knee, and hip injuries or pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Pregnancy-related pain
- Post-surgical or repetitive strain pain
Cindy is also well-established in the fertility field, helping many women along their individual paths. Some of the women we partner with include:
- Women who are trying to conceive but are having difficulty or have had difficulty in the past
- Women who have experienced miscarriage
- Pregnant women looking for more comfort and a healthier, safer pregnancy
- Postpartum women who want further support during this exciting, but often challenging, time
Our treatments and services are not just about symptom relief; they address the root of the problem. By improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and releasing blocked energy (Qi), we help your body heal faster and more completely.
The goal is to enhance circulation, clear stagnation, and reduce pain by using ancient therapies that promote tissue repair and relaxation, while supporting your body’s innate detoxification and healing processes.
The Benefits of Our Holistic Services in Oak Brook and Lakeview

What Sets Us Apart
Cindy practices classical Chinese acupuncture, a deeply rooted style that honors the body as its own universe, interconnected, dynamic, and intelligent.
Unlike the modern versions of acupuncture that often chase local pain points with aggressive needling, the classical method treats the entire system through a few carefully chosen points, most often on the arms, legs, and ears.
This approach is:
- Gentle: Minimal, precise needling means less discomfort and greater relaxation
- Effective: By focusing on the root cause of your discomfort and influencing the body’s primal healing ability, it helps resolve complex conditions at their source
- Ideal for needle-sensitive patients: The treatment is soothing and restorative rather than stimulating or painful
- Deeply holistic: It views the body as a macrocosm of nature, balancing internal systems and microcosms, rather than simply treating symptoms
Our herbal formulas are also based on classical Chinese herbology, using traditional formula combinations in granule form for optimal absorption and effect. Each blend is customized to your unique presentation and adjusted as your condition evolves.
The result? A truly individualized treatment that helps your body restore balance naturally and sustainably.
Your Healing Journey
Your first visit begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we take time to understand your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and long-term goals. From there, we create a personalized acupuncture treatment plan that may include herbs, cupping, or other therapies, all aimed at helping you feel better, move better, and live better.
Most patients find that their symptoms improve steadily over several sessions as their body adjusts to a more balanced state. For fertility and chronic pain, consistency is key; each treatment builds on the last, restoring strength and vitality over time.
“My one dream had always been to be a mom! I had a plan to get married and have a family. I had gotten married and it was time to start our family; we kept trying and trying, but couldn’t get pregnant. I knew after my diagnosis of endometriosis, fibroids, polyps, chronic pelvic pain, and several surgeries later, having tried for almost 8 years, that getting pregnant may just be a dream. I confided in someone the troubles I was having and she opened up to me, saying that having her first child wasn’t easy for her either. She also had complications, but had gone to Cindy Kudelka who helped her get pregnant! Throughout the 8 years of trying, I had tried everything to get pregnant. I knew I wasn’t going to give up on my baby so I would’ve tried anything! I made an appointment with Cindy and when I met her she made me feel so comfortable. She was incredibly knowledgeable about everything I had gone through up until that point. I’m very afraid of needles and dreaded the thought of acupuncture, but her hands are so precise and her demeanor is so caring that I felt right at home as she played the relaxing music and dimmed the lights. I had seen Cindy 3 times a week for acupuncture and took my daily dosage of herbs. After just 3 months of working with Cindy, I was pregnant!! Not only did she help make my dream come true, but her regimen also helped my chronic pain. I had stopped going to her while I was pregnant, but started again right after I had my son. Soon after I got pregnant again! I now have my beautiful family. I would recommend Cindy to anyone with pain or fertility issues.”
