Elang Yoo
Elang Yoo is a licensed acupuncturist and oriental herbalist in Illinois. She earned her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Illinois.
Originally from South Korea, Elang grew up surrounded by a deep cultural appreciation for Eastern medicine and natural healing. Her early exposure to traditional health philosophies inspired a lasting interest in holistic care and the mind-body connection. She later moved to Chicago, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Loyola University and began her career as an Operating Room Nurse, serving patients for over 10 years.
Elang was initially drawn to nursing from a strong desire to help others. During her pregnancy, she personally experienced the powerful benefits of acupuncture and herbal medicine as safe, natural alternatives to conventional treatments. This experience deepened her appreciation for Traditional East Asian Medicine and inspired her to pursue it professionally.
Through her nursing background, Elang witnessed many patients searching for better recovery options and long-term wellness beyond pharmaceuticals. This led her to pursue advanced training in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, where she discovered how both Eastern and Western approaches can work together to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care.
Today, Elang integrates her dual background in Western medicine and Eastern healing arts to offer compassionate, individualized treatments that support the whole person—body and mind. She commonly treats, but is not limited to conditions such as pain (acute and chronic), women’s health and hormonal balance, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, stress-related and mental health concerns, headaches and migraines, fatigue, and immune support. Her holistic approach combines clinical expertise, gentle technique, and personalized herbal support to help patients achieve lasting balance, harmony, and improved quality of life.

Aurora McManus
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Aurora McManus was raised by a Naturopath who spent her life studying natural medicine and helping people attain good health. She brought Aurora to chiropractors from a young age, believing strongly in its health benefits. Watching and experiencing what natural medicine can do inspired Aurora to become a chiropractic physician. Dr. Aurora chose chiropractic because not only can she help people with their physical pain using manual therapy, she can also help internally by decreasing pain with natural anti-inflammatories, improving gastrointestinal health, immune health and more using dietary changes, supplements, herbs and lifestyle guidance.
Dr Aurora uses a variety of chiropractic techniques, based on the needs of the patient, including diversified and instrument adjusting. She believes that chiropractic manipulative treatment works better, holds longer and is more comfortable for the patient when the muscles and fascia are also addressed. Therefore, besides providing manipulation and mobilization of the joints to reduce the restrictions and improve the function of the areas of complaint, she also uses soft tissue and manual therapy techniques to relax and release the areas. She treats any aches and pains, not just neck and back but also extremities such as wrists and feet. Conditions such as repetitive use injuries, posture issues, back pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and tennis elbow are just some of the issues treated.
Dr Aurora was raised in and still lives on the far north side of Chicago, currently sharing a home with her husband, son, father and many pets. She got her undergrad degree in Psychology from UIC and her Doctor of Chiropractic at National University of Health Sciences in Lombard Il. She is currently pursuing her Diplomate in Internal medicine (DABCI).
