Acupuncture and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD is a debilitating mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, serious accident, war or combat, assault, or situations involving threatened death, sexual violence, or serious injury.
Research has shown that Acupuncture may be an effective supportive treatment for people living with PTSD.
Some of the benefits our clients commonly report include:
☯️ Reduced intrusive thoughts, distressing memories, nightmares, and flashbacks
☯️ Feeling calmer and less tense, hypervigilant, or “on edge”
☯️ Improved concentration and mental clarity
☯️ Better sleep quality, including falling asleep and staying asleep
☯️ Reduced irritability, anger, and emotional overwhelm
If you are living with PTSD and looking for additional support, Acupuncture may help support your wellbeing and recovery journey.
