Acupuncture in Decatur, GA

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.

In four months I have lost 30 pounds and my A1C has dropped to 5.3. My ankle swelling has decreased giving me more energy to work out. My hot flashes have decreased. This is all due to acupuncture, cupping, diet change and herbs prescribed by Dr. Yang. I have learned that the body is like a car and needs regular maintenance to balance out life’s wear and tears and to save the best version of myself and to live an optimal quality of life. I know staying healthy is an ongoing process and I will continue to implement what I have learned from Dr. Yang and I will continue to help myself and family.

Dr. Kang is an excellent provider and such a caring and detailed person. When our family moved to Atlanta, we were looking for a local acupuncture center and couldn't believe we found Dr. Kang so close to our home. We've had many wonderful experiences with acupuncture providers in other cities, so our bar is pretty high! Each individual acupuncture session is lengthy, which is great, because you get to reap the benefits longer and take a lovely needle nap. I absolutely love that Dr. Kang includes cupping in each session. Another thing I appreciate about Dr. Kang is how she covers the holistic view of wellness, including nutrition, sleep, movement, and more. Dr. Kang has helped me with a number of different health goals especially around improving digestion and lowering anxiety. I always feel super relaxed at her clinic and think that's a testament to the healing environment she and her staff have created. My husband and I both see Dr. Kang for different matters and she has measurably improved our lives. So lucky to have her supporting our family!

After 8 visits from July 31st to September 2nd, I’ve noticed a big improvement in my energy, focus, menopause symptoms, bloating, mucus, and overall well-being. The combination of acupuncture, cupping, herbal therapy, dietary changes, meditation, and breathing exercises has made a real difference. I’m also seeing progress with weight loss and feeling more balanced overall. Highly recommend!

I have PCOS & while I have a regular cycle I knew something wasn’t right.I have been coming to Dr. Kang for 5 weeks now & she has changed my life. My skin is looking better, I have more energy, sleeping better, better bowl movements & overall health. My diet is great now I follow a more healthy diet fruits, vegetables, protein etc.While my journey with Dr. Kang isn’t over I’m getting better & better every week. To anyone who feels like they can’t find the answers & is going through female issues I recommend that you giver her a try.

Naomie Gilus

I’ve been coming to Dr Kang for a few months now for various issues related to my hormones. Acupuncture and cupping has helped me tremendously with all the tension I was holding in my body. I was developing grinding and jaw issues from clenching my teeth at night and I no longer have to worry about that at all. My body is a lot more relaxed and my posture has improved. I have a lot more energy in the mornings and I also sleep better. With the help of the herbs, I also have started to lose weight. I’m very happy with my progress so far and highly recommend her.
