Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates the body's natural healing response through strategically placed needles at specific acupoints. This ancient practice improves energy flow and blood circulation to address pain, chronic conditions, and stress-related disorders. Our certified practitioners use sterile disposable needles and advanced techniques to treat conditions like sciatica, arthritis, and migraines, with many patients reporting significant improvement after just a few sessions.
Chinese Herbs
Customized herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments to enhance healing outcomes. Our pharmacopeia of traditional Chinese herbs addresses digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and immune system deficiencies. Patients receive personalized prescriptions for conditions including asthma, menopause, and elevated liver enzymes. When combined with acupuncture, these natural remedies often reduce dependency on conventional medications while addressing underlying health concerns without harmful side effects.
Facial Rejuvenation
Non-surgical facial rejuvenation combines microcurrent technology with traditional acupuncture techniques to improve skin texture and reduce aging signs. This treatment boosts collagen production, reduces puffiness, and lifts drooping eyelids through gentle electrical stimulation at facial acupoints. Patients seeking alternatives to Botox appreciate the natural, progressive results that also offer unexpected benefits like improved sinus function and reduced headache frequency.
Pain Management
Comprehensive pain management programs address both acute and chronic conditions using acupuncture, electro-medicine, and herbal therapy. Our approach targets musculoskeletal pain from injuries, post-surgical recovery, and long-term conditions like fibromyalgia. Patients report reduced medication reliance and improved mobility, with many achieving complete relief from conditions like sciatica and post-accident trauma through customized treatment plans tailored to individual pain patterns.
Bell's Palsy Treatment
Specialized acupuncture protocols for Bell's Palsy deliver rapid recovery for facial nerve dysfunction. Early intervention within 72 hours of symptom onset significantly improves outcomes, with many patients achieving complete recovery within three weeks. Treatment combines electro-acupuncture at facial acupoints with heat therapy to restore nerve function and muscle control, supported by herbal prescriptions that enhance neural healing and reduce inflammation.

She was amazing. I literally just got back from her office. My girlfriend had to help carry me inside the office. After the session I was able to stand up on my own. I scheduled a follow up the next morning and I was able to walk in and out of her office. She helped me out so much I cant be more thankful. No need to look any further when it comes to an acupuncturist. I definitely recommend yin yang.

At first I received treatments for my allergies and after the first visit I had so much relief !! I couldn't wait for my next treatment . Now Evangeline is focused on my arthritis and I am so grateful for the… pain relief. I look forward to going each time and plan on being a client for many years to come. I feel confident recommending her to my family and friends .
