Acupuncture and PTSD, Insomnia, Headache and Head Injury

2/23/2012 11:56:21 AM

Did you think that acupuncture was only for pain?

The military has been using acupuncture with great effectiveness to treat concussions, insomnia, headaches, & PTSD. In the article, Dr. (Maj.) Ronald White, director of pain services at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, is quoted as saying: “There’s no risk; it gives you benefit. Our goal — my end result — is function. If you come to me complaining that you can’t play with your kids, you can’t sleep at night, you can’t work, and six months later, I have you playing, sleeping and back to work….”

Military and former military may get a preauthorization from the VA to receive acupuncture for these conditions, but you don't have to be a vet to receive treatment. We accept FSA (Flexable Savings Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account) cards, and make every effort to keep treatments affordable to everyone.

Have questions about your condition? Call us today to set up a free in person or phone consultation.

Acupuncture for Veterans

2/20/2012 2:22:44 PM

Did you know that vets may be able to receive acupuncture at no cost to themselves?

If you have a condition that may be helped by acupuncture including pain, stress, depression and insomnia, digestive problems and many others, contact your medical professional at the VA and request a preauthorization for acupuncture. You may bring that preauthorization to us or any other acupuncture professional for treatment. An acupuncturist who accepts the preauthorization may not charge you any additional fees for your acupuncture treatment.

More about Acupuncture and the military may be found here.
