Acupuncture is the technique in which very thin needles of varying lengths are inserted through the skin to treat a variety of conditions by stimulating anatomical locations on the body. The procedure is painless but sometimes accompanied by numbness which disappears after the removal of the needle.
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown as effective in the treatment of specific health problems. These points have been mapped by the Chinese over a period of two thousand years. Recently, electromagnetic research has confirmed their locations. Western medical researchers that have studied acupuncture believe acupuncture reduces pain through the body chemicals opioid peptides that provide a calming effects, or by affecting glands such as the hypothalamus that produce substances hormones which regulate the body.
Last year I was referred to Arizona Chinese Acupuncture Centre, by a friend. I had been suffering from debilitating migraines. I had been to acupuncture before and I did not experience a noticeable difference. I never acted on this recommendation until after yet another migraine. I get migraines from scented products, even standing in line at a grocery store with something as simple as a lady or man next, wearing cologne or perfume, will put me to bed with an excrutiating migraine.The first time I visited Arizona Acupuncture Centre and was treated by Ping Yang, I knew there was more of a possibility of being helped that all the Doctor's I had been to in the last 15 years.

I've been treated by Ping for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and IT Band Syndrome. For Carpal Tunnel, this was my first experience with acupuncture and I was very unsure about it, but a trusted friend had been treated by Ping so I gave it a chance as I didn't want surgery on my hand. I had lost grip strength and my fingers were randomly numb. With 2 visits of less than an hour, my hand was back to functioning as expected.
With my IT Band, I'd been to an M.D, a D.O. and a P.T., and all they could say was exercise more stretch more and strengthen it. It did not help. Then I went to see Ping, with 5 visits my IT Band was loose and working as it should. I highly recommend Ping!

Five Stars. After years of seeing nothing but positive results on family and friends, I finally had a need to visit Dr. Ping myself. In a short series of treatments, Dr. Ping fixed a problem that my eye doctor, Ophthalmologist, and Neurologist had been unable to find/diagnose/treat. The treatments were virtually painless and I don't have to worry about any side effects.ever!

A five-star review, profound thanks, and a heartfelt recommendation for Dr. Ping! With gut and sleep issues - and wanting to avoid medications - I opted to try a few acupuncture sessions. Best decision ever! Relief came for me after my first session and my overall energy, health and sense of well-being have steadily improved. Dr. Ping is an experienced and dedicated practitioner and you will be in good hands!,

I consider Ping Yang a miracle worker. I've suffered from severe back pain for 26 years. She is the only one who can relieve my pain. I absolutely love her. I'm also a runner. Sometimes my knees and ankles act up from arthritis. But after 2 or 3 treatments I'm running again pain free. Ping knows the body and knows how to fix everything. She's even helped me with congestion.

Went in for what i thought were issues with my heart due to stress. Turns out it was issues related to crashing and breaking my collarbone while mtn biking a year ago. Did an OTB face-plant about 10 feet into a ditch crumpling up like a rag doll. Not my first acupuncturist either, have seen about 5 acupuncturists over the last 15 years to treat car crash & mtn biking related injuries with some good luck and not such good luck.
Finding a good acupuncturist that is the "real deal" here in Arizona is very difficult. I had one that barely spoke a lick of english for about 10 years that was top notch. Could fix every single issue I had after about 4-5 treatments. Anyhow, this Doctor is up there as probably the best one i have had. After 5 treatments not only did all of the pains go away, but i am sleeping like a baby.

After over 20 years of pain, I went to Ping Yang at ACAC with little hope of improvement or relief. After the first treatment, the pain had been reduced by 85%, and now I rarely have any pain in my ears. In the past I have been to other acupuncturists for other issues; some just put in needles with NO results and others, like Ping Yang, knew how to manipulate the needles to get results.
I have never known any acupuncturist who has better skills than Ping Yang. In addition to her amazing skill and knowledge as an acupuncturist, she is truly concerned for her patients and has a wonderful bedside manner.

Dr Ping help me to relieve pain in my neck and shoulder due to over training. It significantly helped my performance and prevented more injuries. Due to Olympic doping restrictions I have to be very careful with medications, therefore I rely on acupuncture therapy as my primary source for pain relief and healing. Thank you for the help.
