Taking care of our veterans is the ultimate way of thanking them for their service. This is why we’re proud to announce that Deep Roots Natural Medicine is a Preferred Clinic for Veterans experiencing ongoing, chronic pain, injuries or post traumatic stress. We could not be prouder to serve our community in this way and are proud to partner with the VA.
How Acupuncture Helps Veterans:
- Acupuncture is effective for healing injuries.
Acupuncture is a safe, nonsurgical, drug free treatment and can also be used in conjunction with other therapies like cupping, gut sha, local electrical stimulation and/or customized herbal medicine. We can go over what combination of therapies will work for you!
- We can help manage chronic pain without opioids.
Acupuncture has been shown to increase the circulation of blood in the area treated, and decrease inflammation. It also calms areas of the brain that register pain and release endorphins (our bodies’ natural feel-good chemicals). The symptoms our patients experience can be looked at differently person to person. Pain frequency, intensity, location and quality can differ for everyone.
- TCM promotes relaxation and stress reduction without prescription medications.
Acupuncture works to create stress relief by releasing endorphins and serotonins within the brain to create a deep relaxing affect on the body. Neuroimaging studies have shown that acupuncture calms areas of the brain that register pain and activates those involved in rest and recuperation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) we produce this effect by moving qi and blood in the body.
Do you know a veteran in your life in the Charlotte, North Carolina area? Consider helping them get into the door by purchasing a gift certificate for their first consultation and treatment. The biggest barrier to trying natural medicine can be overcome with a thoughtful gift, which is the least we can do for those who put their lives on the line.
- Our team demystifies acupuncture and the stigma around it. Every new patient gets to spend time with Dr. Tracie reviewing all of their questions and concerns. No question is off limits and we encourage people to speak their mind and express how they feel.
- We want to encourage people to seek out help. We believe it’s brave to try new things and to invest in natural healthcare, especially when Western medicine falls short. We do everything we can to make the experience as dignified and private as possible.
- It’s normal to try alternative modalities when finding what works best. Everyone has their own experiences with acupuncture. It’s our job to give the best possible experience and treatment to our patients and support them in their healthcare decisions.
At Deep Roots Natural Medicine, we’re here to support you with your natural health needs. Don’t hesitate, reach out to us today and see how we can help you. Visit our website and schedule a In-Office or Virtual Consultation today!
