What is
Electroacupuncture?

Electroacupuncture is a modern take on traditional Chinese acupuncture that uses mild electrical stimulation to provide better results, hence the name. Unlike traditional acupuncture, which relies solely on manual needle placement and manipulation, electro acupuncture adds electrical pulses to provide some extra benefits. It has become a widely popular treatment in Chicago, IL. Because of its ability to address multiple issues, even those which traditional acupuncture can’t handle. While it also remains a holistic, minimally-invasive and drug-free approach to health.

How Does
Electroacupuncture Work?

The science behind electro-acupuncture is very similar to how traditional acupuncture works. First of all, fine acupuncture needles are placed at specific points on your body, determined by your practitioner based on your health needs. Once the needles are in place, small electrodes are attached to them to deliver acupuncture electrical stimulation.

Pulses can vary in frequency and intensity, it depends on the condition being treated. For example, low-frequency stimulation can provide pain relief and relax muscles, while high-frequency is used to stimulate nerves and improve circulation. Electrical stimulation boosts the body’s natural healing processes by improving blood flow, releasing endorphins, and reducing inflammation.

This was my third visit with Dr. Mimosa, and it has been such a reset for me. I am very thankful to be working with her. Her knowledge and care truly make a difference, and I always leave feeling more reset and noticeably better than when I walked in.

I carry a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders, especially after returning to work, and I feel it build up quickly. After each visit, the difference is noticeable. The tension improves significantly, and I leave feeling lighter and overall better.

What really stands out is how much she listens. From the first visit, she took the time to understand my lifestyle and stress, and I never felt rushed. That level of care makes a huge difference.

Going through a recent health complication put things into perspective for me. I realized I was moving through life too fast and putting myself last. Now I’m being more intentional about my health and managing my stress, especially with how demanding life can be. These appointments have been a key part of that.

I have also been using other services like pelvic floor therapy, acupuncture (soon to be appt), and massage, and everyone has been incredibly kind and welcoming.

I am really grateful I found Copper Wellness.

My wife and I had been searching for a chiropractic office that felt modern, intentional, and aligned with the kind of lifestyle we’re building, not just for ourselves, but together. After doing some research, we came across Copper Wellness, and it turned out to be exactly what we were looking for.

We wanted something in the city, close to home, and in an area where we could turn our appointments into something more, like grabbing coffee or enjoying a date night after. This location checked all of those boxes.

From the moment you walk in, the energy is different. The space is beautiful, full of plants, warm earth tones, wood elements, and subtle aromatherapy. It feels calming, elevated, and intentional. Even the small touches, like complimentary water, make a difference. It genuinely reflects the kind of environment we value in our own home.

The staff is diverse, welcoming, and you can tell they truly enjoy what they do. That energy carries throughout the entire experience.

Dr. Mimosa is incredible. She is knowledgeable, experienced, and most importantly, she really listens. Every visit feels personalized, and she takes the time to understand exactly what we need. That level of care is rare and deeply appreciated.

I also want to give a genuine shoutout to Dr. Mimosa, the practitioners at Copper Wellness, and the entire staff. Everyone plays a part in making this place feel as special as it does.

Booking is seamless, whether online, by phone, or through their waitlist system. Everything feels efficient and thoughtfully designed.

We’re both genuinely happy we found this place. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you for choosing Chicago and creating such a special space. We’re looking forward to many more visits and hope you remain part of the neighborhood for years to come.

Oh yeah and one more thing! Happy 1st day of Spring!!!

I started going to Copper Wellness around the beginning of 2023. I was having so much issues with my body physically, emotionally, and mentally. I had problems such as a stress ulcer in my stomach, constant anxiety, and restlessness. When I met Dr.Stephanie for my first consultation I let her know what was going on in all aspects of my health and she had a 6 week program to help me get back on track. This 6 week program included getting sessions from Dr. Adam my chiropractor. During this whole 6 week program I saw a tremendous improvement on my health to a point that I wasn’t having any pain in my stomach no more and that my body/mind were so relaxed. This included the recommended supplements I was referred to take outside of the office as well. I cried because I didn’t think I could get better since I went to doctors/ hospital visits and that all they said it was stress. I thought I had no hope of getting better but Copper Wellness put me on the right track. Even after the 6 week program I kept on going for constant maintenance for my physical/mental health. Every time I left a session with Dr. Stephanie I felt like a new person. She always heard me out and I felt like I wasn’t just another client. I felt like I was heard and that I had someone to be on my corner to help me out. Throughout my time there since 2024-2025 I have been helped with the best doctors there and knew I can always count on them to get better if I was hurting. Practices such as acupuncture, cupping, and chiropractor work always helped me in different parts of my health issues. Such as, back pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, anxiety issues & stress.Dr. Mimosa , Dr. Anais Dr. Adam & especially Dr. Stephanie. I appreciate you all so much and I am forever grateful for y’all on getting me back to a good healthy foundation.

I cannot recommend Dr. Madden enough. Every visit leaves me feeling lighter, calmer, and more in tune with my body. She listens closely, remembers the details that matter, and truly cares about my wellness journey. I have seen real improvements since starting treatment. The space is always clean, relaxing, and welcoming. If you are considering acupuncture, look no further. She is the best and I am so grateful to have found her.

This is THE spot for wellness care. I've been seeing Adam, Stephanie and Bencia for neck, back and joint care for several years now. Each of them start by asking what's going on with my body and life stresses, then focus on an action plan for each session. They also offer tips on how to maintain those benefits between visits.

I am so grateful for Copper Wellness. Dr. Mohr is the kind of clinician you want (and need) when it comes to restoring your health. As someone who has been navigating the sometimes difficult and painful path of autoimmune dysfunction, it makes all the difference to have not just a knowledgeable, but a deeply empathetic and caring clinician guide you along the way. My sessions are never rushed, always informative, and the space exudes a healing energy.

Dr. Madden is absolutely exceptional. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the calm, healing energy of the space. She takes the time to really listen, understand your concerns, and tailor each session to your needs.

Whether you’re new to acupuncture or have been going for years, Dr. Madden’s expertise and gentle technique make all the difference. She explains everything clearly and creates an environment that feels safe and restorative. I can’t recommend her highly enough. she’s truly the best in her field here in Chicago.

I have been going to Copper Wellness for nearly 4 years and cannot say enough good things about the clinic and all of their providers. Dr. Madden is a truly exceptional acupuncturist. I worked with her almost weekly during my first pregnancy and postpartum, and now for my second pregnancy, and she has been such a blessing with hormone health, stress and anxiety management, digestion, and sleep. She has the most amazing presence and all of her guidance has always been spot on. I also saw Dr Mohr during my first pregnancy to help with pregnancy aches and pains and pelvic positioning - he is also wonderful, so knowledgeable and kind and helped relieve a lot of my physical symptoms during that time. I’ve gone to Benicia for massage too and she is one of the best! (and I’ve seen a lot of massage therapists in my life)

I am moving from Chicago soon and truly going to miss this amazing clinic.

Response from the owner 12 months ago

Dr. Madden, Dr. Mohr, and Benicia will be touched by your feedback. Wishing you all the best in your move — you'll always be part of the Copper Wellness family!

Dr. Mohr helped me tremendously with lower back pain and SI joint pain years ago and I still use the exercises he provided me to sustain feeling better. He used multiple techniques and movement based therapies to improve my ability to bend and lie down without pain.
