DR Chen Leon

General Practitioners

Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Chen recently launched the East West Healing Center at 929 S. Main Street, Suite 103, in Lombard. He offers a blend of Eastern and Western medical practices. He uses acupuncture and herbs for the treatment of many conditions from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and gynecological ailments.
Fibromyalgia
Lying on the acupuncture table as Chen found her acupuncture points, patient Ari Mills of St. Charles said she first received treatment to help relieve menopausal symptoms. She said within two weeks of treatment, her hot flashes went away. “In two weeks—it was amazing,” Mills said. Five years later, Mills continues to see Chen for sinus infections as well as low-back and hip pain. “I’ve done [acupuncture] for a very serious cold,” Mills said. “I can’t even explain it. I immediately feel better. I don’t have to take any medicine. I used to go to my doctor to get antibiotics—a few weeks later, I’d get [the cold] again.” Mills said her husband visits Chen to treat his high blood pressure, and her mother receives treatment for fibromyalgia, which includes symptoms like pain throughout the body, especially in joints and muscles.
Plantar Fasciitis
Many seek help at the center for back pain but Chen also sees patients seeking relief from neck pain, tendinitis, plantar fasciitis and other conditions. Deerfield resident, Katherine Ritter, initially went to the center for upper back issues several years ago.
Medical Weight Loss
Chen said acupuncture can relieve pain and inflammation from arthritis and tendonitis. Individuals with a herniated disc and athletes with acute injuries also can benefit from treatment. Chen recalled a 93-year-old patient who, for about a year, has visited his office every other week for knee pain relief. “He first came in with a walker,” Chen said. “Now he comes in with a cane.” Chen also said acupuncture can help with migraine and headache relief, digestion problems and weight loss. Patients have also visited Chen to quit smoking.
Nutritional Counseling
Pediatric Care
“Dr. Leon Chen is one of the best in the field of Chinese Medicine as it relates to the western model of holistic, alternative medicine. It is an honor to work with him. He gets amazing results with patients.”

MRI
Using a combination of Chinese and modern medicine, Dr. Chen will do the following: Talk with you about your situation, previous treatments and what you would like to see happen. In many cases, he will ask to see your X-rays, MRI’s, blood test results, etc. To make the most of your first visit, obtain them from your other physician(s) and bring them with you. In the treatment room, you will lie down on a treatment table so that Dr. Chen can take your pulse. This is not the same procedure as a nurse checking your heart rate. Dr. Chen will place three fingers on the inside of both of your wrists, one at a time, and “tune in”to the strength and flow of the energy in your major channels. He may also ask to see your tongue. In Chinese medicine, the tongue reflects the state of each one of your body’s organs, which is vital information included in formulating a diagnosis. He may do acupuncture or Tui Na or both, depending on your ailment.
Radiology
In the past 60 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has made great progress, such as the use of scientific methods to study the acupuncture, Tuina and herbs. Now, there are three kinds of doctors in China, such as Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine (combine eastern and western). For the doctors who combine eastern and western are using the best of both Chinese and western medical methods. Western sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pathology and associated technologies such as cytology (cell study), radiology, and computers support Chinese native medicine, which includes acupuncture, herbology, and Tui Na (massage and manipulation methods). The doctors may use either method to guide and assist the other in treatment, diagnosis or assessment. This broad and powerful array of theories, practices, and technologies delivers more resources to the patient.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
And it seems no doctor could be prouder of his patient than Chen, who—in the middle of talking about his practice—jolted up from his doctor’s stool and snatched a photo of Logan to boastfully show off. Chen said he has treated three women including Mack for infertility who have also conceived. Chen, who has nearly 25 years of experience in the medical field, graduated medical school and became a licensed orthopedic surgeon in China. He opened his first office in Lombard in 2004 and said he combines Eastern and Western medicine in his education, theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine and orthopedics. Traditional Chinese medicine includes acupuncture treatment, Chinese herbs and Tuina, which is Asian bodywork therapy that utilizes massage and adjustment techniques. “When I came here seven years ago, a lot of people didn’t know Chinese medicine in Chicago,” Chen said. “In China, a lot of people drink herbs, but in the U.S., people use pills.” When treating a patient, Chen checks the individual’s recent blood work, CT scans or X-rays—which is more of a Western medical approach. He also uses an Eastern approach by checking a patient’s pulse and tongue color. “In Chinese medicine, the tongue will tell you a lot of information,” he said, adding that the tongue can signify if a patient’s energy is low or if he or she may have a cold. Depending on the patient’s ailments, Chen may prescribe painkillers, herb pills or his patented herb paste for swollen and acute injuries. “I think any kind of medicine cannot treat the whole disease,” he said.

Orthopedics
“Dr. Chen was one of my students, I have known him for more than 30 years. He has a solid theoretical background as well as rich medical experience. He has made multi, impressive and eminent contributions to Chinese Traditional Medicine. He is a promising young man in TCM orthopedics and traumatology. Besides publishing more than twenty scientific papers, he developed the “Mo Feng Xiao Zhong” plaster which has proved to be extremely effective in the treatment of injury and resulted in a Chinese national patent. He also developed the herbal “Zenggu” pill for treating Osteoporosis, which has already passed the experimental study and will have wide clinical applications. His rich experience and expertise is valuable for physicians, acupuncturists and patients.“
Orthopedic Surgery
Chen, a resident of St. Charles, studied medicine and worked in Chinese hospitals until about two years ago. He was chief doctor and department head at Gansu Province Lanzhou Chinese Medicine Orthopedics and Traumatology Hospital. He is licensed to do orthopedic surgery in China. He has written textbooks and holds patents for herbal applications. Since starting his practice here, he has seen a great deal of interest in alternative medicine.
Hysterectomy
The Endocrine system is another major system through which acupuncture works. The modern understanding is that hormones are adjusted to optimum or balanced function. This is seen in the treatment of infertility, Type 2 diabetes, menopausal symptoms including hot flashes and loss of bone density, especially osteoporosis caused by hysterectomy and oophectomy link to case study.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Physical Therapy
“Dr. Chen, thank you for helping me with my back pain. After being treated with steroid injections and physical therapy for over 5 years, I only had limited improvement. After being treated with acupuncture from you, I am significantly better. I have less pain, and am now not taking any pain medication. I recommend you to everyone with pain problems. ”
Frozen Shoulder
Dr. Chen is an excellent, caring and thoughtful Dr. I originally went to Dr. Chen for acupuncture to treat frozen shoulder. The acupuncture was definitely working. Sadly, while I was seeing Dr. Chen I was diagnosed with breast cancer. For the last 6 months, I received acupuncture weekly from Dr. Chen in order to maintain strength and balance during treatment. Through surgery, chemo and radiation, Dr. Chen helped to keep me healthy and strong. I have finished treatment and am strong and able to keep up with all my daily activities. I credit Dr. Chen and acupuncture for helping to get me through treatment healthy and strong.
Shoulder Pain
Neck Pain
Back Pain

Ankle Sprain
Foot Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
“Dr. Chen has been tremendously helpful with a plantar fasciitis problem I had been having for over a year. I had gone to 3 or 4 other practitioners during that time and, using acupuncture, Dr. Chen has been the only one to fix the problem. I am grateful to now be able to get out of bed or get up from sitting and be virtually pain free! His Chinese herbs and acupuncture have also been helping lower my blood sugar so I can avoid taking medicine for diabetes...Dr. Chen is a miracle man!”
