Acupuncture for PTSD & trauma
Trauma lives in the body as much as the memory. Acupuncture helps quiet an over-activated nervous system so the rest of healing can happen.
After trauma, the nervous system can stay locked in high alert — hypervigilance, insomnia, nightmares, a racing heart, being easily startled. The body keeps responding as if the danger is still present.
Acupuncture is studied for PTSD precisely for this: it helps down-regulate the over-active sympathetic "fight-or-flight" system, easing the physical symptoms so that other therapy and recovery can take hold.
Symptoms we treat
If any of these sound like your experience, acupuncture is worth a conversation. This isn't a diagnosis — your first visit is.
Why acupuncture works here
Three layers at once — local, segmental, and central — chosen for what your body is asking for.
From first visit to plan
Every patient gets the same unhurried four-beat rhythm — the first visit includes a complimentary consultation.
