I have had chronic pain in my right knee for years, and tried everything short of surgery with no success. At the suggestion of a few friends, I decided to try acupuncture through a Groupon I found. The place I selected wasn't too far from Gilbert where I reside, and it did seem to provide some relief. Later I was referred to Frank at Japanese Acupuncture - and the difference in his knowledge and techniques were night and day from the "Groupon place"! He asked a series of questions and did a full body analysis, poking and pulling and was able to tell various things about my digestion and other things that I would never have thought to be relevant. I had four sessions over the course of about 8 weeks. While I get occasional pain, it is nowhere near the everyday almost excruciating pain I was experiencing. I highly recommend Frank Aoi to anyone considering acupuncture as pain relief. You will not be disappointed. :)
