With so many involved now in the war in the Middle East and Veterans Day now approaching, we are reminded that after selflessly serving their country many American military personnel are left suffering from the effects of stress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Western medicine often treats it with expensive, time consuming, and potentially ineffective drugs with addictive and unwanted side effects.

But stress and stress-related conditions lend themselves to treatment with acupuncture that can be extremely effective at reducing trauma, anxiety symptoms and calming the nervous system. Acupuncture is also non-invasive, and very cost-effective.

We routinely treat patients with anxiety, and even a few veterans with PTSD have gotten exactly the help they were looking for here.

It’s a great thing to be able to give back to those who have sacrificed everything, and to help restore the lives of those who were so deeply effected by war is exactly why we do what we do.
