Dr. Kang is Amazing!! Her acupuncture, cupping & herbal treatments have helped me tremendously with improved digestion issues, circulation, insomnia, stress relief & overall wellness
Ive been bringing my 92 year old dad for acupuncture for nausea as his medical Dr. ‘s could not figure out the reason, nor was medication helping. This had been going on for months. He began feeling better after the 1st session and now after 3 months, no longer has nausea.In addition our first visit he was in his wheelchair, since continuing with Dr. Kang, he know only used his walker!!
The experience is great my mood, inflammation, digestive system and all pain is gone in just 2 weeks. The combination of herbal, acupuncture and cupping is highly suggested....
Love going to acupuncture! Dr. Yu Kang is extremely knowledgeable and takes her time to explain her thought process and the ideology to you. I’ve seen an overall improvement in my symptoms and a huge relief in my stress. Highly recommend!
