Dr.Kenji Osyai aka The HERO, I have 6 years clean and free…read morefrom heroin because of the compassion I felt the day I met a hero, he knew my horrible stories that come along with addiction and not for a second did he treat or look at me differently. This was the day that saved my life, I would of been dead in a week I'm sure of it, I made one call and got in the next day, I never have to wait but maybe 2 minutes to see him, The staff is amazing and understanding as well. This is not something you will find anywhere or anyone else as a dr trying to save your life. This is his calling . please if your ready to stop fighting the urges , stop wasting money, stop chasing, woreing do I have enough, life can go back to normal I promise I'm living proof, even got into a horrible car accident and I took 0 pain meds because I k ow the trap and the demons with just one touch of a opiate that told me they would always be there for me NOT there for me to ruin my life and kids. I am a single mom and my kids even call him hero kenj One day at a time and MMR will get you through this and answer any and every question. give yourself the gift of life back your worth it and this place will show you so much to get you started on your feet 6 years sober because of this Epic place and doctors who really care more then you can put in words, you gotta see this it works and its beautiful!!!!

Where to begin..... I was in a major car accident in 1997 ( age 19). From there, lot of surgeries…read morefollowed by loads of Dr apts. Pain was a real factor after the accident which led me to see a pain specialist. Having said, I was on major opioids for last 28 years up until 2 months when Cristina Gonzalez at From Pain to Wellness kicked me out of the practice for one of the meds I was on not showing in my urine. Just like that, after 28 years of opioids, 13 years of being seeing by the same pain management clinic.. that was it! Kicked to the curb with no help, no suggestion on where to go , what to do... Frankly, my first thoughts were very dark - wasnt sure if life was worth living. Was worried about withdrawals.. more importantly how in the HELL does a Dr prescribe 300mg of oxy a day and then say " adios.... Hope you figure it out.... ". Well Cristina, the joke is on you b/c Ive never been better. All thanks to Dr Oyasu of ModernMed. For those out there who are looking for support.. maybe youve experienced a similar situation with a rigid personality nurse practitioner. Whatever it is, please know that it's gonna be ok! In Fact, your life is gonna get better..... Dr Oyasu of ModernMed is a Demi god! His regular job is that of an emergency room physician yet he decided to open ModernMed to support people like me, who got caught up in an opioid cycle. All this b/c his heart was breaking for all the types of people coming into his ER for opioid treatment / withdrawal . my first apt was to discuss my plan in how I was going to get off 300 mg / day of OXY basically cold turkey without ruining my life, my marriage, my job. Dr sat down with me to come up with a plan. He prescribed a handful of medications in which I was super scared yet OMG I had ZERO withdrawals.... I maybe felt a little crummy for a few hours, maybe a day and that was it..... withdrawals over! Folks... you DONT have to spend 100k on some fancy rehab. You just need a really good Dr! Here we are.... Almost two months later... weve had to tweak a few of the meds yet I'm on my way to being fully done w/ opioids and the best part is that I've never felt better - i feel strong, alert, happy, my brain is working in ways it hasnt in decades... I can't explain it but it's exciting . I feel like my brain is coming to life! I hope this helps someone out there! Whoever u are... whoever needs help... Dr Oyasu is waiting for u with open arms to help you see the light. Opioids suck! It's a never ending ticket to nowhere. At Pain to Wellness I spent $500 a month with insurance just to come in to do regular refill apt. Just think , that's $6000 back in my pocket! Maybe I'll spend that money on a trip to Africa, maybe Europe.. Best part is that I won't be jaded on opioids... I'm free!!!!!

I highly recommend Balance Healing Center on Touhy Ave and confidently give then a five star…read morereview! Every time I have left Balance Healing I feel so cared for physically with the bonus of feeling sincerely listened to and equipped with a plan for my continued well being. It feels so good being treated so well by experts who have the knowledge and ability but also such welcoming kindness. It is the kind of place and people you wish you could just hang out with for hours every day

I received a Christmas gift certificate from my boss for a 1 hour massage and an add-on raindrop…read moretreatment at Balance Healing Center. This was my first time coming to this center and getting a full body massage. From the moment I stepped into the center, I immediately felt calm, soothed and welcomed. The entire center has an element theme. There's a room named air, fire, earth, wind and water. There's dimly lit lighting, the scent of incense in the air, crystals all around, and soothing music playing. My massage therapist was Kristine. She was very friendly and put me at ease right away. I took a minute to fill out a new patient sheet and she discussed any medical conditions or anything that I wanted to focus on. She gave me a tour of the center and then we began my treatment. The raindrop treatment was awesome! She dropped (8), I think, essential oils down my spine, then covered them with a warm damp towel and let them soak in, meanwhile she began my massage. Kristine was excellent!!! She always made sure that I was comfortable and that nothing was too painful. The raindrop treatment helped to loosen up my muscles and also acts as a detox. It was very refreshing, even though I smelled like a "pizza" after wards. Haha...I think one of the oils was oregano. I had my massage yesterday and today I actually feel pretty darn good. I've been in constant pain the past 2 weeks due to fibromyalgia, and the massage and raindrop treatment truly helped me! I can't wait until my next treatment! Overall, this place is awesome. They offer more than just massage. They do traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, ear candling, and reiki. They even have an infared sauna and do all kinds of body wraps and such. There's also facials, waxing and eyelash extensions. Check out their website for a full list of all they do! Aimee, the owner, is sweet and soooo knowledgeable and helpful. Please take a moment for yourself and call the Balance Healing Center. You will be thankful you did!

I cannot recommend Christina Dwyer and the team at Eastern Vitality Acupuncture highly enough. I…read morewas initially skeptical about trying acupuncture, but Christina put me completely at ease during my first appointment. She took the time to explain the process and benefits of acupuncture in a way that made me feel comfortable and optimistic. Throughout my treatments, Christina has been nothing short of amazing. She is so knowledgeable and clearly cares deeply about her patients' wellbeing. She develops customized treatment plans that target specific health goals, and I've seen incredible improvements after working with her. The office itself is peaceful and inviting. Christina and her staff are so warm, thoughtful and attentive. They go above and beyond to make each visit pleasant. I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. If you're considering acupuncture but feeling unsure, I cannot encourage you enough to give Christina a try. She is a true expert in her field and a wonderful person on top of that. I'm so grateful that I took a chance on acupuncture, and even more grateful that I found such a fantastic acupuncturist.

I have been seeing Christina over the years for different ailments and always loved my experience…read more But this past 1.5 years of consistent acupuncture has been an incredible experience for me and the ultimate gift at the end of the process - my little girl! I came back to acupuncture after having a miscarriage to heal and hopefully get pregnant again in February of 2025. Christina talked me through everything - supplements, acupuncture cadence and benefits of cupping and infared sauna. I took the supplements as directed and came in 8x a month, with occasional adjustments to my membership. I will never forget joining in a sound bath at Vitality Wellness in the first month and laying underneath the wall of babies Christina helped bring to this world. I prayed I would have a little one of my own to join the wall. By June of 2025 I was pregnant! And came in regularly every month to be supported by acupuncture and cupping. I was a high risk pregnancy due to preexisting conditions but my little girl and I were completely healthy throughout the entire process. She was welcomed into the world in February of 2026 - exactly 1 year after I started my journey again back at Vitality Wellness. Postpartum I have felt amazing and continue to see Christina. I genuinely attribute the investment into my mental and physical well being was a huge factor in my successful and healthy pregnancy and birth. Thank you so much for all of your support, Christina. I'm so grateful my little one is officially on the wall of babies!
