PTSD
Acupuncture can be a helpful treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), offering relief from symptoms and supporting emotional and physical healing. PTSD often involves symptoms such as anxiety, flashbacks, hypervigilance, depression, and sleep disturbances, which can be debilitating. Acupuncture works by helping to regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and restore balance to both the body and mind. Acupuncture can help regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety and stress, improve sleep, enhance emotional healing, and support the mind-body connection, which are all symptoms of PTSD. While acupuncture is not a replacement for traditional therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or medication, it can be a highly effective additional treatment, helping to manage symptoms and promote long-term healing. It provides a holistic, non-invasive way to support both mental and physical well-being in those coping with PTSD.
Traditional Chinese herbs offer a natural and supportive approach to managing PTSD by helping to regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and promote emotional healing. These herbal formulas are designed to calm the mind, ease symptoms of hyperarousal, and support the body’s ability to cope with trauma. By addressing underlying imbalances in the body’s energy and circulation, herbal medicine can help alleviate the physical and emotional toll of PTSD, including sleep disturbances, anxiety, and mood swings. When combined with acupuncture, herbal treatments can enhance relaxation, support mental clarity, and provide a holistic approach to emotional wellness. At Johns Island Acupuncture, we create personalized herbal and acupuncture treatment plans to help you find relief, regain balance, and support long-term recovery from PTSD.
