Dr. Yang was nothing short of a godsend for me. She has helped me tremendously through one of the most physically and emotionally challenging periods of my life. I went to her for support through a miscarriage which happened alongside some other health issues I'd been having for a while. Throughout my life I have been frustrated with the limitations of western medicine and was continuously looking for someone to work with me in a more holistic way. I found what I was searching for in Dr. Yang- I could not be more pleased with my consultations with her! Dr. Yang has a tremendous wealth of knowledge and expertise and she combines traditional Chinese Medicine with other healing approaches. Most importantly, she is someone of great empathy and will really listen to you! Moreover, she has a very unique gift for understanding her patients intuitively. I have never experienced anyone with such a talent as hers. This enables her to tap into the real needs of a patient, not only addressing the symptoms but the root cause. This happened to me in my very first session and today, after only a few sessions I feel so much better and positive and I will continue on this path knowing that I have the best possible doctor by my side.

I was so blessed to be able to get my treatments at Dr. Yang's Research clinic here in Blacksburg. She has a rich background in Chinese Traditional Medicine and I believe that was due to her intense clinical practice and education back in China (the birth place of TCM). Few acupuncturists I had experienced has such sophisticated skills in pulse and tongue diagnosis along with acupuncture. She can tell my subtle pulse change during our conversation within a few minutes. What a surprise! She also has her own research focus on cancer, along with many wasting chronic diastase using natural ways (acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, herbal formula, supplements, equipment and diet.) I am feeling significantly better on the 3rd session after years of suffering. Hope you will also see hope in your journey of healing.

I was initially diagnosed with Graves' disease in Jan 2012 by an endocrinologist after my symptoms had developed for at least 6 months. I was on a big dosage of methimazole and beta blockers to slow down my pulse. My symptoms (fast pulse, swelling in throat, fatigue, weight loss, trembling hands, depression, etc.) were controlled pretty well after 3 months of medication. However, what I didn't know back then was that my battle just started. Over the next three and half years upon my first diagnosis, I had traveled to two different states and met with 4 other endocrinologists and 3 primary care physicians. Surprisingly enough, they all had the same diagnosis and prescribed me exactly the same medication and told me exactly the same words----" your disease is genetic, you have no control over it". After experiencing 8 top notch MD's "care", my bloodwork reports came back normal many times in the last few years, but my feelings got worse and worse and new symptoms developed in spring 2014. I started to feel lower back pain and experienced stomachaches. My menses were horrible. My situation was not getting better and my suffering proceeded to 2015.
During the darkest days in my life, I was introduced to acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) by a dear friend of mine was is in this field since early 2014. I began seeing acupuncturists locally, and they gradually shedded new light on my issue, but the journey was not smooth. I tried 3 acupuncturists in an 18-month period, and in the meantime I started to apply a thorough lifestyle transition with their positive influence. Gladly, I was able to manage my everyday life without medication, but in-between treatments, I was still constantly overwhelmed by fatigue, shortness of breath, back pain, indigestion, and insomnia.
Then, I learned of a new clinic, “EHE Clinic”, that opened in Blacksburg in September 2015, and I decided to give it a shot. How worse can it be for a person who had experienced failure in treatments so many times? Within the first week, I knew this was one of the best decisions I had ever made. I could feel my energy levels starting to improve. Joy has a very pleasant and patient character, and she naturally pours out her heart to her patients. I feel very secure and am willing to open up myself, because I know she cares about my overall wellness just as much as I do. She enjoys studying each case and tries her best to facilitate healing using natural therapies rather than a practitioner who focuses only on booking more appointments. Her clinical diagnosis and acupuncture skills are way above other typically-trained acupuncturists. Few TCM doctors I knew have mastered the advanced art of pulse diagnosis and tongue diagnosis which are critical for treatment. This is only one portion of her secret weapons. She is also very sophisticated in applying many other natural therapies in helping patients; this includes but is not limit to moxibustion, cupping, tui-na, and cutting edge devices that naturally boost the body's immune system in fighting numerous diseases. Additionally, she coached me on diet and nutrition and ways to manage my stress level. I think you will get way more than a typical acupuncturist's office at EHE clinic. This is a place where you can count on for true healing.
In just a month, I feel my energy levels are back to normal after years of suppression. I am able to work extra hours in the afternoon without feeling drained or depleted. My constant, intense back pain quietly became replaced with occasional low intensity pain. My stomachache was also getting less frequent. I no longer struggle to fall asleep for hours at night. My period was no longer that painful. Every week I am pumped with hope and excitement knowing that fully recovery is possible. Life is not meant to be suffered through, it has to be thrived on.

On the morning of September 7, 2015, I noticed that my face looked strange. It slanted toward my left side, and my right eye couldn’t get closed. When I smiled, my mouth also moved toward to left side. I went to see my family doctor and the result was negative, which meant that there was no viral infection. I didn’t know about EHE Clinic until the 6th day after I had facial paralysis. I started acupuncture treatment with Dr. Yang on 7th day. After I had two acupuncture sessions, my problem had significanly improved, and each time, it only took 10-15 minutes.I could close my right eye, and I was slowly regaining muscle control over the right side of my face. After only 8 times of acupuncture treatment, my facial paralysis symptoms were all gone. I am almost totally recovered, except the facial muscles on the right side of my face are still not as strong as the facial muscles on my left side. Dr. Yang recommended that I take some herbs for improving my immune system to prevent this from happening again. From my personal experiences, I believe acupuncture is the best for facial paralysis treatment, and I was really lucky to find Dr. Yang!

I suffered a very painful torn disk in my lower back several years ago. It was diagnosed by means of physical examination, x-rays, and finally an MRI. Treatment by an orthopedic surgeon and professional physical therapy brought some relief and healing, but it was short-lived, as the injury recurred.
It was only after I began acupuncture treatment with Doctor Joy Yang at the EHE Clinic that the debilitating pain began to disappear to the point that I could go for days without more than a passing thought about my back. Her thorough understanding of the philosophies and theories underlying the application of Chinese medicine, and her mastery of the different techniques used in those applications, enabled her to tailor my treatment to my specific needs based on the injury, my overall health, and my individual physiological characteristics such as the level of pain tolerance, the changing location of effective acupuncture points, and the optimal physical position for effective treatment.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Yang for her knowledge, her diligence, and the success we shared in her treatment of my injury. Thank you.

I have been very happy with Dr. Joy Yang. She has helped me with several problems that I have had for a long time. I am doing so much better. Less pain, stress and sleeping better. My hands had been swollen for a long time and she has taken care of them, my knee and my stress.
--Linda Collier (A University Factuly)
Dr. Yang is a true professional who is concerned with seeing her patients become well again as naturally as possible, and that is very important to me. I discovered her practice within the first couple of months of starting my first year in medical school, and it couldn't have come at a better time. Due to the increased stress as well as increased mental and emotional demands, I was not sleeping well and was noticing other downstream effects. In my first and subsequent appointments, she explained how she can help me and how I can help myself to manage my stress and improve my sleep, and the rest fell into place. The acupuncture and other services she has provided to me surpassed my expectations, and I would (and have) recommend her treatments to any and all.

Dr. Yang is amazing! She has helped me with all sorts of issues and taught me a lot about Chinese Medicine. She is a great listener and can figure out what your problems are in the blink of an eye. She has treated my husband too, and he has had great results. Highly recommend!
--Caitlin Capone (A University Factuly)
It’s amazing! The pain is completely gone! I had shin splints for four months, and I tried everything with no results before I tried acupuncture. It took three weeks for the pain to totally disappear. It’s not like I woke up, and the pain was gone; it was a gradual progress, because my body was healing itself. Don’t expect overnight miracles – pain killers just mask the problem, but don’t heal the problem. Now I’m continuing to see Dr. Yang for overall wellness.

Finding Dr. Joy Yang has been a wonderful experience for me. My food choices had become so restricted due to inflammation that I had lost down to 106 lbs. Using acupuncture, herbs, moxibustion, cupping, emotional pulse counseling, and ear seed acupuncture Dr. Yang has enabled me to gain back my weight and muscle mass, focus and energy. What a relief it is to be able to eat and pursue my work again. I appreciate Dr. Yang's skill, determination and persistence. Her ability to treat every problem I have presented amazes me. My sensitivity to pharmaceuticals makes conventional medicine difficult, but, finally, with Dr. Yang's practice, I have a medical professional to support me in regaining my health.
Excellent experience. My fatigue and indigestion problems resolved quickly and they were not even my primary reason for seeking treatment.
Dr. Yang is a professional, sweet, and super caring Chinese Medicine Doctor. I first met her at a health fair when I was an osteopathic medical student, as well as attended a seminar in which she taught a group of us students about Traditional Chinese Medicine and gave us demonstrations about acupressure points and how acupuncture needles aren't particularly painful (it was really, really cool!). She also talked about several different aspects about some fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine, modalities used, and was very generous about answering our questions and sharing some of her knowledge with us.
In addition, I also went to her when I had a difficult time with some insomnia and fatigue that I was having as a result of the stress from medical school. Dr. Yang pointed me towards the (emotional) source of my symptoms (using pulse diagnosis) and proper self-care, and she helped me find symptomatic relief when typical medications prescribed from doctors did not help. She is a truly compassionate healer who cares about her patients' well-being, and I cannot recommend her enough.

Dr. Joy Yang is awesome! I have suffered from intermittent Trigeminal neuralgia for years. The medicine prescribed by my neurologist was so strong that it made me dizzy and I had trouble thinking straight. I could only take it at night before going to bed and then I would be lethargic the following day.
Then my dentist suggested that I try acupuncture and gave me Dr. Joy Yang's information. I called her and she agreed to see me the next day after her last appointment. It was amazing! After one treatment the pain was gone. She is truly a blessing!
Dr Joy Yang is truly a miracle worker!! I had almost given up on finding relief for my pain when someone suggested acupuncture and how they "knew someone" who came here and the relief they had.....I must admit, I was skeptical - I had been to so many doctors in the last year - with the final diagnosis that I had fibromyalgia and should just learn to accept the chronic pain in my feet or take medicine for life. Sounded like a death sentence to me. BUT, on my 3rd visit here, Dr Yang found the relief to my pain and I actually had NO pain for over 3 hours after that session!!! It was AMAZING!! I forgot what it felt like to not have pain - truly amazing! I am continuing with the plan she has for me and have complete faith that we will find a natural, healthy and lasting solution. Much thanks to Dr Yang and her EHE Clinic!
Dr. Yang was able to help me from my very first appointment, improving my mobility and reducing debilitating back spasms. Over the next couple of appointments, I noticed small differences in my energy level, slept better, and those small differences are making a big difference overall.
Dr. Yang is amazing! She has helped me with all sorts of issues and taught me a lot about Chinese Medicine. She is a great listener and can figure out what your problems are in the blink of an eye. She has treated my husband too, and he has had great results. Highly recommend!
