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.

Dr. Kang helps me to feel more relaxed, sleep much better. I used to feel stiff and not sleep well. I love the cupping and the acupuncture. Highly recommend Dr. Yu Kang for any one seeking for holistic care. I will bring my friends and family to see her too. Thank you very much for the care.
Dr Kang is very thorough and concerns about her patients. She is very knowledgeable and considerate. Acupuncture is great, my husband who is 86 has gained stamina, more flexible. We love her!
I came to this office with shoulder and elbow pain, thinking acupuncture and cupping would help. Dr. Kang explained that she likes to treat the whole person, and also gave me a prescription for an herbal supplement and adjustments to my diet.My shoulder and elbow pain have improved, I sleep better at night, my knees feel less achy when going down stairs, and I’ve lost weight.Overall a great experience and I intend to continue treatments and lifestyle changes.
Excellent and thorough treatment - the combination of acupuncture, cupping, herbs, and nutrition support has been very beneficial to my overall health! Highly recommend Dr. Kang and this practice to anyone interested in improving their health and well-being.
Wonderful and knowledgeable doctor! Highly recommend!
I’ve been working for Dr. Yu Kang for a little over a month now, and it’s been such a great experience thus far! I love the calming, serene aura of the environment, makes it easy to work. Dr. Kang is amazing! If you want an acupuncturist that is genuinely interested in improving your condition, Dr. Kang is the one for you. I’ve witnessed first hand the improvement in patients, some just after 1 session. She is overly qualified( her many degrees backs it up), kind, genuine spirit, and cares about your well being. Her knowledge mixed with the patient willingness to learn and make lifestyle changes will have you leaving out the office feeling brand new!
