Patient Review

Ling (Elina) Zhang

Dr. Zhang has a very warm personality with professional approach in treatments. I was treated by her with my weight gain problem since i gave birth to my children. She helped me so much in my overall health. She is attentive and also explains to you why you are experiencing some of your symptoms. Her practice is very clean, neat and quiet. I actually fell asleep right after she started with the procedure. She has helped me tremendously and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help from a professional acupuncturist.

When I first met Dr. Yang I was suffering from anxiety, TMJ, migraines, and muscle spasms in my back. Prior to meeting Dr. Yang I tried other doctors and many different medications, nothing helped and if it did it was temporary.
My friend had told me about Dr. Yang and how acupuncture may help me. At first I was skeptical and felt a little nervous about the needles. I made an appointment, when I met her from the start I felt a sense of peace. She takes her time with you, listens to your concerns and addresses each one.
The needles are the last thing on my mind when I see her. She has helped me with all my issues. Acupuncture has become part of my life.
Dr. Yang is very knowledgeable and accessible. She also introduced me to herbal teas, which has helped me in balancing my system. I highly recommend Dr. Yang. She has “magical hands” ♥️

I really can’t say enough on how wonderful Dr.Yen is. Professionally she is amazing and she really takes the time to listen to what you have to say. She went above and beyond for me and her words of wisdom encouraged me to get myself healthy. I really love the way I feel after a session with her. If you never tried acupuncture give her a chance. I am so glad I did! I am forever grateful!!!!

The search for a passionate and concerning doctor has over, Yan is one of the most caring and genuine doctor I have ever meet. I need acupuncture treatment and herbs for my long term anxiety and fatigue issue. After two sessions of treatment, my overall energy level has increased a lot and my stress level has gone down dramatically. I feel like I can finally start doing what I would like to do again, I have more energy throughout the day. Yan really cares about her patients and she really wants what’s best for you. The clinic is super homie and comfortable, every week when I get my acupuncture treatment is the most relaxing time I get. I can’t believe how fast I fall asleep during the treatment; and I woke up feeling refreshed and energetic.

Dr. Yan Zhang is very professional and really nice. She listen to what you said patiently. My husband and I wanted to have a baby. Dr. Yan only gave us three weeks treatment and I got pregnant. During the treatment, I didn’t feel any pain feeling. It’s very comfortable. That’s amazing! I highly recommend her!

a month agoDr Yan Zhang is awesome. I was a little skeptical about Acupuncture but now I am a true believer. I was told by my doctor that I would need disc replacement or decompression surgery. I went to Dr Zhang for the chronic pain. After the first session, I received some relief. I have now had 4 sessions and I can turn my neck with no pain. I am amazed by this transformation. Dr Zhang you are the Best! Thank you for giving me some real relief.

My mom and I had been going to Dr. Yan Zhang before the pandemic. She is the most dedicated acupuncture doctor we had seen. Very knowledgeable and friendly. My mom had lymphedema for more than 20 years. One of her leg is constantly swollen and gets infections very frequently. We had been to other acupuncture doctors and other specialists. None of them was able to help. My mom’s leg always swells back after a week.
Until we were introduced to Dr. Zhang. After just several treatments, my mom’s swollen leg got much smaller and the best thing is that it did not swell back! We will definitely go back for more treatments after the pandemic or after we get our vaccines! Highly recommended!!Like

3 months agoAfter having rear ending bad car accident on 495 LIE I was having severe pain because of neck and lower back herniated discs. I could not sleep for months! I was going to physical therapy 3 times a week and chiropractic 2 times a week till I found DR. YAN! She is AMAZING!

I never though that acupuncture will help and stop my pains and make me run again! but DR. YAN treated me very well. She is very PROFESIONAL, KNOWLEDGE about acupuncture and herbals. She gave me some herbals for my sleep problems and it helped me a lot! I WAS SO LUCK THAT I FOUND DR. YAN SHE IS AMAZING ACUPUNCTURIST. I RECOMMEND HER TO EVERYONE. If you have any pain of your body just go and visit her believe acupuncture and try it. DR YAN is the BEST!

4 months agoFriendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Yan was amazing. I wasn’t skeptical going in, I was more excited to try something to relieve my knee pain. Within the first 30 seconds of her administering the treatment, my knee pain was gone, and 3 weeks later, has not been back. I haven’t felt pain free in almost a decade. I can actually walk with no discomfort.

Dr. Zhang is a very talented and skilled acupuncturist and herbalist. She takes the time to get to know you and really cares about the outcomes of her patients and makes you feel very confident in the treatment plan. I saw Dr Zhang to help with fertility after 4 months of trying to conceive and with acupuncture and herbal treatment we were pregnant after 1 month! At the appointment I was always seen shortly after arriving and never had to wait. I would highly recommend Dr. Zhang for acupuncture and herbal treatment!Like

This was my first time getting acupuncture and I was a bit apprehensive and scared. Dr Yan Zhang P.C. Was so professional and caring. She took her time and sat down and thoroughly talked to me before any treatment was started. Her knowledge and expertise took my fears away and calmed me down. Yan Zhang is very patient and thorough with her patients. I am so happy that I found her and I have experienced remarkable results after suffering for a few years with unexplainable pain. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking about acupuncture to go and see Dr Yan Zhang.

3 months agoI have been working with Dr Zhang for 2 1/2 years. For many months I was receiving acupuncture treatments twice a week. I also was prescribed herbs for about a year to help balance out my body and energy.

Dr Zhang is also a medical doctor in China so she is also intimately familiar with western medicine, which I feel is a very important added bonus.

Dr Zhang’s treatments provided spectacular results for me, much beyond my initial expectations. I was more balanced, calm, and pain that I had been experiencing in my back and leg was all but gone. I had initially gone to her mainly for male reproductive issues, and these too were all but resolved.

I now see Dr Zhang occasionally when I am in pain or am experiencing a heightened level of anxiety. She is always very accommodating with her schedule and always addresses the ailment that I have in the same expert manner. I have never left her office when I did not feel better than when I arrived.

I highly recommend working with Dr Zhang for any type of ailment. Her focus is on balance, and she will find a way to help you achieve that for a noticeable improvement in your quality of life.

I had been experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety. I was also suffering from insomnia (I was taking sleep aids in order to sleep).I am so happy that I found Dr. Zhang she is warm and caring and she really listens to you in order to give you the best possible treatment. This is my first time trying acupuncture as I am a afraid of needles. Dr. Zhang made me feel at ease and comfortable I hardly ever felt the needles going in. I have been seeing her for about three months and I will say that I am able to sleep without using a sleep aid. I feel so much more relaxed and most of all centered. I like that Dr. Zhang checks in with me before my appointment so that she knows how and what she will be treating. Dr. Zhang is awesome I look forward to my weekly visits. Try her out you will not be disappointed!

I had seasonal tearing eyes since teenage. This was the first time I took advice from Dr. Yan. She prescribed me one weeks dose of herb granule. Tearing eyes has been gone for a couple of years. Recently, tearing eyes started again with dryness. Dr.Yan advised me acupuncture and herb granules. After the acupuncture, I felt my body was lighter and eyes were brighter. Now I know that I was tired before which I did not notice. Dr.Yan’s acupuncture helped me to come back to a normal, healthy life. I am still amazed by her knowledge and treatment with acupuncture and herbs.

She listened and asked questions to determine what treatment would be best for my situation. For my situation it is insomnia and headaches. I really feel the treatments are working.

When I was critically ill, after taking Dr. Zhang’s medicine for two days, I came back from the ghost gate and I am grateful. The whole body itching that Western medicine can’t solve, Dr. Zhang relieved it with a prescription. I am looking forward to Dr. Zhang’s next prescription to restore my physical strength.

Polymyalgia Rheumatica

Definition

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disorder. It results in muscle pain and stiffness in the body. The effects are most common in the shoulders, arms, hips, and thighs. About 15% of people with PMR will also develop giant cell arteritis(GCA). GCA is an inflammation of the lining of the arteries, the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.

Causes

The exact cause is not known. Inflammatory conditions may be associated with a problem with the immune system. Certain viruses may be responsible for PMR. Genetic factors may also play a role.

Symptoms

  • Muscle pain and/or stiffness in the hip, shoulder, or neck areas

  • Stiffness usually occurs in the morning or after long rests and may ease throughout the day

  • Fever

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Fatigue

  • Mood changes

How Acupuncture treat the PMR

Walk 10,000 Steps a Day For A Healthful Life Style

Health and fitness researchers are finding that people can achieve health benefits by exercising at a less intense level than previously thought.  In other words, someone who is sedentary most of the day but who jogs over the lunch hour may expend as much cumulative energy as someone who is active periodically throughout the entire day. 

 

Two recent studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association have confirmed that this lifestyle approach can be as effective as a traditional exercise program.  Many doctors and researchers have found that wearing a step counter is a great way to track your daily activity and inspire you to move more on days you have been sedentary.

 

To achieve good health, strive to take 10,000 steps a day (the equivalent of walking roughly five miles).  A person who walks 10,000 steps a day will burn between 2,000 and 3,500 extra calories per week, which will result in achieving o walking 12,000 to 15,000 steps a day.  Walking is a great way to loose weight — and keep it off. 

 

Whether your goal is to achieve good health or to lose weight, put your step counter on when you dress in the morning, and don’t take it off until bedtime.  Every step you take through out the day counts.
