Acupuncture and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

From the Temple Daily Telegram comes and article on the Army's use of acupuncture to help treat PTSD in soldiers returning from service in the Gulf and Afghanistan:

"Soldiers returning from combat in the Middle East with post-traumatic stress disorder can opt for some alternative forms of treatment that include acupuncture."

This is something that we have been seeing a lot of in the last few years in my clinic. Happily, acupuncture has been very useful to help with this issue.
