PTSD; Finding Calm at Zamora Acupuncture

What is PTSD?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after an individual has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. This can include events such as military combat, natural disasters, serious accidents, personal assaults, or any situations that provoke intense fear or horror. PTSD can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.

How can acupuncture help?

Acupuncture can be beneficial for individuals with PTSD by addressing both the physical and emotional symptoms associated with the condition. It promotes relaxation and reduces stress, while also helping to regulate the autonomic nervous system. This regulation can lead to better emotional stability and a decrease in hyperarousal symptoms. Additionally, acupuncture provides pain relief and improves sleep quality, which are common challenges for those experiencing PTSD. By fostering a sense of overall well-being and balance, acupuncture supports individuals in processing their traumatic experiences and lessening the intensity of their emotional responses. Dr. Zamora is known for her compassionate and understanding approach, ensuring that her patients feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process. Her holistic method addresses not only the physical aspects of trauma but also emphasizes emotional and mental well-being.

What is the experience like during an acupuncture treatment?

At Zamora Acupuncture, each acupuncture session begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Zamora. During this consultation, she will discuss your specific symptoms, medical history, and any concerns you may have. This information allows her to tailor the treatment to meet your individual needs.

You will lie down on a comfortable treatment table while Dr. Zamora, D.Ac., gently inserts thin needles into specific points on your body. These points are strategically chosen to help alleviate stress, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms. You will remain in this position for about 30 minutes, allowing your body to respond to the treatment.

After the session, Dr. Zamora will discuss how the treatment went and provide suggestions for a follow-up treatment plan. Overall, the acupuncture experience at Zamora Acupuncture is designed to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals dealing with PTSD, fostering a sense of peace and healing.
