Our mission is to provide high-quality, accessible holistic healthcare and education in an effort to cultivate long-standing relationships between highly trained practitioners and the community that are socially and economically just. We began Five Point Holistic Health in 2014 as five acupuncture students who were disappointed by the lack of group acupuncture practices in Chicago.
We needed jobs and the idea of starting a private practice felt isolating and expensive. We were also struck by the fact that we couldn't even afford our own medicine, as we didn't have insurance coverage for acupuncture, and private sessions typically cost between $80-$150. We decided to pool our resources and open Five Point: a worker-cooperative with the mission of providing quality, accessible holistic healthcare.

Acupuncture is an ancient East Asian technique of inserting fine needles into the body in order to help improve normal physiology and treat ailments. The needles encourage blood and lymph flow, activate the immune system, and regulate the central nervous system. All treatments are customized to address the unique conditions of the individual client.
Herbal medicine is the combination of roots, mushrooms, shells, fruits, seeds, and other natural substances to create unique blends to heal ailments. An herbal medicine regimen allows for an individualized treatment that is a part of the patient's daily routine, helping to speed up the healing process of most conditions and reducing symptoms.

After 20 years of migraines each month and trying many therapies, medications, and options, treatments here have been the only thing that has made a change. I have been going to five point for a year and 3 months seeing Celeste and Nathan, and migraine-free for a year. Could not recommend Five Point more highly.

I am very thankful for Five Point Holistic Health. I have chronic pain and anxiety. Nathan's bodywork and Katelyn's acupuncture have been crucial in managing those ongoing conditions. The entire staff is courteous, the facility is clean and safe, and I always leave feeling grateful that I found this healing.

After a surprise diagnosis, I began coming here in 2021. Acupuncture, bodywork, empathy and supplements that Ive gotten at Five Point have been life-giving. Treatment here has been my lifeline to processing all the emotions and my condition. Its empowered me with strength and perspective to develop my health plan going forward. My strength is growing from the inside out, my color and complexion look better... people even say I look younger! Stress, illness and fear had completely drained me. Healing happens here. I am so grateful for this office and it's caring and skilled staff!

I highly recommend this place! This is where I was first introduced to acupuncture and it's helped me out very much. I have tried all of the acupuncturists at Five Point and they each have a different approach to healing body and mind. Also, I'm a Western medicine practitioner and I like to blend both Eastern and Western practices and it works great! Thanks, Five Point!

This place is truly a godsend! It is easy to get an appointment fairly quickly (if not the same day then always the next). They have a good cost structure with acupuncture letting you partake in “community acupuncture”. My husband and I are huge fans of their cupping, with working a desk job and boxing 5+ days a week my back/neck can be in bad shape. Cupping is fast, cost effective & instantly fixes my issues. They also accept HSA which is a plus!

I could not be happier with my decision to seek care at Five Point. I had been putting off regular acupuncture because of the challenges on my wallet. The community pricing as well as multiple options for booking times make it possible for me to get regular care. Ryan is one of the best practitioners I have ever met across any health care realm and I've been under a doctor's watch for my pathologies for about 15 years. He is attentive, knowledgeable and kind. I am telling everyone I know to get their tooshies over there immediately!

I had sprained my back lifting and was in constant pain when sitting and standing ... even after the scar tissue had sealed the tear. Anything from sitting at my desk to standing on the bus hurt and disrupted my quality of life.
After 2 deep intensive acupuncture sessions I was almost 100% pain free. Now I go every 2 weeks for maintenance (community sessions) and have NO MORE pain!!!! I did this in conjunction with back strengthening exercises. I was careful and listened to my body. Ryan was super attentive and addressed all my concerns. Now I'm lifting the same as I was 2 years ago before my
