Mental Health

As a result of their service, veterans and military personnel often suffer from PTSD and anxiety. This can severely impact their quality of life, and affect their sleep, social interaction, and stress management. Acupuncture can provide relief by helping to regulate the nervous system and the body’s stress response. In a single session, acupuncture can promote relaxation, improve sleep, and reduce hyperarousal, offering instant mental relief. 

Medication

Medication can provide a quick and effective fix for mental and physical issues, which is why it is often prescribed for suffering veterans and military personnel. Unfortunately, with medication come a host of side effects and the risk of dependency - a significant issue amongst veterans. Acupuncture provides those in the military with a holistic approach to health and wellness, providing quick relief from physical and emotional suffering while supporting the body’s natural healing process. It has no side effects and no risk of dependency so that veterans and those facing active combat can improve their quality of life without risk to their health and wellness.

November 11th 2023, marked Canada’s 92nd Remembrance Day, during which citizens recognized and remembered those who sacrificed their lives in the name of peace and freedom. Today, many veterans and active military personnel continue to suffer from the effects of war and combat. Acupuncture, an ancient healing practice that comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), offers a more natural approach to managing mental and physical injuries and has become a popular treatment amongst veterans and military personnel.

Pain Management

Many veterans and military personnel suffer from chronic pain due to injuries incurred in combat. Often, they are prescribed medication as a quick fix, which can become complicated as a result of dependency or side effects. Alternatively, acupuncture is a side-effect-free, holistic technique for pain management. By promoting the release of endorphins, improving circulation and opening nerve pathways, acupuncture can provide relief from chronic pain without medical intervention.
