Veterans' Pain Management & Injury Treatment
Neuro Acupuncture is an advanced technique that blends traditional acupuncture principles with modern neuroscience to stimulate specific areas of the nervous system. By targeting key neural pathways, this therapy is highly effective in treating conditions common among veterans, such as PTSD, chronic pain, nerve damage, and musculoskeletal injuries.
For PTSD and mental health disorders, Neuro Acupuncture helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, reducing anxiety, insomnia, and emotional distress by promoting the release of endorphins and serotonin. This makes it an effective alternative or complementary therapy for veterans struggling with stress-related disorders, depression, and post-traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
For physical injuries, Neuro Acupuncture aids in nerve regeneration, muscle relaxation, and pain relief, making it beneficial for joint pain, spinal injuries, and combat-related musculoskeletal trauma. By enhancing neural communication and improving circulation, it speeds up recovery and prevents long-term complications from untreated injuries.
Electroacupuncture builds upon traditional acupuncture by applying low-frequency electrical stimulation to acupuncture needles, amplifying its therapeutic effects. This method is particularly effective for chronic pain, nerve damage, PTSD-related symptoms, and inflammation—common challenges faced by veterans.
For PTSD and emotional regulation, Electroacupuncture helps to modulate brain activity, reducing hyperarousal, anxiety, and nightmares. It stimulates the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, promoting emotional balance and better sleep quality.
For physical injuries and chronic pain, Electroacupuncture is used to reduce inflammation, enhance tissue repair, and relieve neuropathic pain by stimulating deep muscle layers and nerve endings. It is particularly beneficial for veterans suffering from back pain, sciatica, repetitive strain injuries, and joint degeneration caused by the physical demands of service.
By integrating Electroacupuncture into a veteran’s recovery plan, we can offer a drug-free, non-invasive method of pain management that promotes long-term healing and improved mobility.
Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine is a powerful tool for veterans dealing with both physical and psychological health concerns. Using customized herbal formulations, this treatment helps address PTSD, chronic pain, digestive disorders, and immune system imbalances, supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
For PTSD and mental health, herbal remedies can calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality. Many veterans with PTSD experience chronic stress, panic attacks, and mood swings, and specific herbal combinations help regulate cortisol levels, reducing hypervigilance and emotional instability.
For pain management and injury recovery, herbs with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties help accelerate tissue repair, reduce swelling, and improve circulation. This is especially beneficial for veterans suffering from joint pain, arthritis, and muscle injuries that have developed over time.
Additionally, herbal medicine supports the digestive, cardiovascular, and immune systems, helping veterans recover from stress-induced illnesses and prevent future health complications.

Our Approach
At our Neuro Acupuncture Integrative Clinic, we take a patient-first approach, thoroughly assessing each veteran’s unique needs to create personalized treatment plans. Led by Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Acupuncturist – Denis Grounin, we focus on advanced techniques such as electroacupuncture and neuro acupuncture to address chronic pain, PTSD symptoms, and injury recovery effectively.
Depending on the veteran’s condition, additional therapies like scalp acupuncture, cupping, or laser acupuncture may be integrated to enhance healing, improve mobility, and support mental well-being. Our holistic approach helps veterans regain strength, manage pain, and achieve long-term wellness.
- Individualized treatment
Every treatment at our clinic is tailored to each veteran’s unique needs, considering medical history, current medications, service-related injuries, stress levels, and ongoing treatments. These factors play a crucial role in how the body responds to therapy, so we encourage veterans to share any relevant details. This ensures the most effective and personalized care, helping to support recovery, pain management, and overall well-being.
- Healing responses & support
Some veterans may experience a temporary increase in symptoms after their initial treatment. This is a natural part of the healing process as the body adjusts and begins to recover. These effects typically subside over subsequent sessions as the treatment takes effect. If you notice any unusual discomfort or a significant worsening of symptoms, please reach out to us. We are committed to supporting your recovery and will adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcome.
