I have lived and worked in Tirana for many years, building my career in a bank. My days are spent in front of a computer, long hours of meetings and reports, with little time left for movement. Over time, this lifestyle left me with a constant, stubborn pain in my right shoulder.
I did the sensible thing and went to a doctor. An X-ray was taken, but nothing unusual showed up. The advice was to rest and to take painkillers. I tried for a while, but I didn’t want to become dependent on medication just to get through daily life. The thought of carrying this pain indefinitely, or relying on pills, felt discouraging.
That’s when I decided to visit Yang’s salon. I originally booked a massage, which was wonderful, but when I shared my story about the shoulder pain, Yang suggested something I had never considered: a course of acupuncture, ten sessions in total.
I was skeptical at first. Acupuncture was unfamiliar to me, but Yang’s calm explanation and the confidence she inspired convinced me to try. From the very beginning, I felt her professionalism in the way she worked—each needle placed with care and purpose. Gradually, the tension in my shoulder started to ease. After a few sessions, I noticed real improvement. By the tenth session, the pain that had followed me for months was gone.
When I wanted to thank Yang, she told me that the best way would be to write down my experience so others in Tirana might benefit from it too. So here I am, sharing my story.
What stays with me most is not only the fact that my pain disappeared, but also the way Yang guided me through a method I had never thought of trying. Her mastery of acupuncture gave me a real alternative to medication and showed me that relief is possible—even when the usual medical tests say everything is “normal.”
For anyone in Tirana who spends too many hours sitting at a desk and struggles with unexplained pain, I would say this: don’t ignore it, and don’t give up. Sometimes the solution is closer than you think.
