Specialty Shifts & Treatments

Community Acupuncture Clinic
Wednesday, 5:00-7:30pm

A low-cost, walk-in clinic on the 17th floor, focused on treating one symptom in a visit. Seated treatments in a group setting advance the shift’s social justice objectives. First-come, first-served. All are welcome.

Muscle and Joint Pain Acupuncture
Thursday, 4:00-8:00pm

This shift focuses on musculoskeletal disorders, for example sports injuries, back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, sprains & strains, arthritic pain, and a variety of other muscle and joint complaints and injuries.

Japanese Style Acupuncture
Friday, 9:00am-12:00pm

Japanese acupuncture is a gentle style of needling in which the needles are rarely inserted deeply into the skin. It’s well suited to needle sensitive patients. Moxa (the herb mugwort, which is placed on the skin and burned to create warmth and energy movement) is almost always used, which makes this modality inappropriate for people with respiratory sensitivities.

Off-Site Clinics

Our off-campus clinical sites provide students with excellent learning experiences, and if an off-site provides services appropriate to the individual, patients may choose to use their services. Off-site clinics have the power to change the way a patient thinks, as well as how a student practices, broadening and enhancing views on the application of the medicine. They also offer students an opportunity to integrate with other medical practitioners, and influence the perception those medical practitioners have of our profession.

For more information about these off-site clinics, please call our main campus clinic: (773) 477-1900

Project Vida – Chicago, IL

PCOM is thrilled to collaborate with Project VIDA to expand their existing Chinese Medicine services to patients, with both acupuncture and herbs. Project VIDA was founded in 1992 to address the urgent needs of racial and ethnic minorities. Initially, the agency provided HIV education through street outreach services to area youth. Now, Project VIDA has expanded its community scope by initiating a variety of programs: direct services for people infected or affected by HIV/AIDS and various prevention education programs, offering offers individual and group services for adults living with HIV/AIDS. The program offers workshops focusing on prevention related topics for those living with HIV/AIDS, designed to encourage healthier lifestyles, as well as support groups that help reinforce coping skills and decrease psycho-social stress associated with living with HIV/AIDS.
