Dr. Kang may ask questions about your symptoms, lifestyle habits, diet, exercise routine, sleep patterns, and emotional well-being to gain a holistic understanding of your unique situation. This thorough review ensures that she has a complete picture of your health status and can develop the most effective treatment plan.
Physical Examination and Diagnostic Techniques – In addition to a physical exam, Dr. Kang will employ diagnostic tools unique to Traditional Chinese Medicine, such as tongue and pulse diagnosis. These assessments provide valuable insights into your body’s internal balance and functioning.

She will explain her recommendations in detail, discussing the underlying imbalances contributing to your health concerns and the timeline for your care.

I started seeing Dr. Kang a few weeks ago for sciatica issues. I had a couple of cupping and acupuncture sessions and my sciatica is barely even there. My skin also looks better from the diet she put me on. I definitely recommend seeing her.

I want to tell everyone that has cancer that you need to fight with cancer, by eating healthy, rest, exercise, thinking positively, not letting anyone to scare you that there is no hope. I hate to cry, but it is true that lots of cancer patients were told by the doctors that you need to do chemo, radiation surgery, all these treatment are doing more harm that really helping you to heal. I am speaking from the bottom of my heart, when I came to Dr. Kang March 2025, I had stage four beast cancer, now I am cancer free. Thanks to Dr. Kang and her staff at medical acupuncture nutrition in Decatur ga. I have combined acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, exercise, and mediation to help me to heal.

I enjoy the cupping, it helps me to feel relaxed. And the holistic approach to my health. I learned the nutrition to eat a healthy diet. Overall, I feel more relaxed, lost eight pounds so far in two and half months. I like the herb that works together with the diet exercise and acupuncture together, to make a better version of myself.
