How Acupuncture Works

Neurotransmitter Theory: Acupuncture affects higher brain areas, stimulating the secretion of beta-endorphins and enkephalins in the brain and spinal cord. The release of neurotransmitters influences the immune system and the antinociceptive system.

Autonomic Nervous System Theory: Acupuncture stimulates the release of norepinephrine, acetylcholine and several types of opioids, affecting changes in their turnover rate, normalizing the autonomic nervous system, and reducing pain.

Vascular-interstitial Theory: Acupuncture effects the electrical system of the body by creating or enhancing closed-circuit transport in tissues. This facilitates healing by allowing the transfer of material and electrical energy between normal and injured tissues.

Blood Chemistry Theory: Acupuncture affects the blood concentrations of triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids, suggesting that acupuncture can both raise and diminish peripheral blood components, thereby regulating the body toward homeostasis.

Gate Control Theory: Acupuncture activates non-nociceptive receptors that inhibit the transmission of nociceptive signals in the dorsal horn, “gating out” painful stimuli.

I have benefited enormously from Dr Kangs help with acupuncture and herbs and cupping to help my anxiety and digestion issues.
Great experience! I have been visiting Dr. Kang for 3 months and I can tell many positive changes in my energy and mobility.

Dr. Kang gives great advice and easy to follow plan. She is very easy to talk too and shares many relevant examples on how to improve my overall health and well-being.

I’ve been working with Dr. Kang for about three months and I’ve noticed many improvements in my overall well being. She’s made various nutrition suggestions, too. I feel less chronic pain and more balanced and energized. Very grateful for her!
My first visit to Medical Acupuncture and Nutrition—Dr. Kang’s clinic—was for my back pain. She explained everything very clearly and made me feel comfortable. After receiving cupping and acupuncture treatments from Dr. Kang, I noticed a great improvement. Earlier, I used to struggle with stiff back and neck pain, but after a few months of treatment, I feel much more relaxed and relieved. Dr. Kang is highly skilled in her approach, and the herbal medication she prescribed has greatly supported my recovery. I would definitely recommend her clinic to anyone seeking effective herbal and acupuncture treatments.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Kang for several months now and feel very positive about her treatment.
I felt much better after just few acupuncture treatment ls. with Dr.Yu Kang. My movement is flexible while before it was difficult to move. I like her approach with herbs nutrition. The foot soaking with ginger and orange peal tea helps my digestion and swollen ankles. Dr. Yu Kang is the best acupuncturist in Atlanta Ga.
After 6 weeks of treatment with Dr. Kang, I feel so much better! Came in for back, knee, foot pain, & weight loss. Started regimen of acupuncture, cupping, nutritional change, herbal prescription & I have found more energy, more motivation to exercise. As a result, the pain is much more bearable & in general I am more relaxed and able to do much more. This lifestyle change takes time but I’m glad I found Chinese medicine. I love working with Dr Kang as a team to improve my overall health. My husband says I look much better. I’m going to learn more as a nurse myself about this holistic regimen to improve my health & my family down the road.
