Dr. Ari Leib, Acupuncturist

Dr. Ari Leib is a board certified Emergency Medicine physician that has been practicing for more than 15 years in that specialty. He graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, and completed his Emergency Medicine Specialty Training at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. He has worked in community emergency departments and the highest level trauma centers, and was a physician educator (training future physicians in emergency medicine) for over 9 years as well.

As he grew in his practice, he realized that he wanted to help people in other ways as well. Having seen and treated people at some of their least healthy moments, he decided that he wanted to do more to help prevent illness and guide people to a better path of long term wellness. It was with that in mind that he sought out training in medical acupuncture. He trained with the Helms Institute for Medical Acupuncture; one of the most well known and respected training programs designed specifically to teach acupuncture to physicians. He fell in love with the practice of acupuncture immediately. He notes that it reminds him of his practice of the martial arts that always taught him to connect mind body and spirit with the goal preservation of one’s own health.

Dr. Ari is still practicing Emergency Medicine and is combining his broad knowledge of western illness with a newer deep understanding of eastern based practices and treatments. He is able to approach acupuncture from a different perspective given this extensive background. He will be offering the services of acupuncture, cupping, and Gua Sha (deep tissue scraping techniques).

The eastern based practice of acupuncture and its adjuncts dates back more than 2000 years. Utilizing these techniques, Dr. Ari will be able to provide services to help with a wide array of medical concerns. Treatments can help with anything from acute and chronic pain, chemotherapy induced nausea, and depression, to high blood pressure and even extend into assistance with fertility. So whether you have an acute sports injury or chronic migraines and fatigue, there are options that he can provide to help you on your journey to better health and a increased sense of wellness. Dr. Ari is comfortable treating all ages. Please feel free to reach out to him at any time with any questions you may have.

Dr. Ari loves to spend his free time with his two children and his wife. They can often be found at sporting events, live music venues, on the track or tennis courts, or out in nature on hiking trails. Travelling the globe, however, is his biggest passion, and he loves experiencing and learning about different cultures. He looks forward to helping you live your best life as well, no matter what that may look like for you.
