Atique is board certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology
by the NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture
and Oriental Medicine) and licensed as an Acupuncturist by
the State of Illinois.
She received her Masters of Science in Traditional Oriental
Medicine (MSTOM) from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine,
where she received extensive training in acupuncture, Chinese
herbology, and other accessory techniques used to treat disorders
from a wide variety of disease causes.
Furthermore, she has a BA in Psychology from the University
of Illinois at Chicago. Her background in Psychology coupled
with her Traditional Oriental Medicine education serves as
a tremendous foundation in being able to not only understand
where patients are coming from, but where they are hoping
to go with their health and all the obstacles that arise in
that journey.
Though she is well trained to treat a variety of ailments,
she is particularly passionate about women's health issues.
She has successfully overseen the care of many women throughout
their pregnancies and has treated the many issues that arise
during this time, including successfully inducing labor on
many occasions as well as treating insufficient lactation.
Additionally, emotional disorders, particularly anxiety and
depression are another interest of hers.
Also, she has found stress to be a major component further
complicating existing conditions such as chronic pain, weight
management, women's health, and smoking to name a few. Consequently,
one of her main goals in treatments is to significantly reduce
the levels of stress so that both she and the patient can
better tackle the underlying issues. Her focus is to provide
patients with effective results while empowering them to take
an active role in their own health. |
