The Veterans Community Acupuncture Project is a new program that offers free weekly acupuncture for veterans. Treatment is done in a community-style format, which consists of:
treatment is done in a group, seated in chairs
acupuncture needles on ears only
treatment lasts 20-45 minutes (you decide how long you want to stay)
uses sterilized, single-use disposable needles only
all volunteers are professional acupuncturists licensed by the Massachusetts state medical board
treatments are designed to help with stress and tension, improve relaxation and sleep, and help you feel better
A recent study funded by the Department of Defense on using acupuncture with veterans to relieve stress and improve quality of life showed extremely positive results. We have already treated many veterans during our pilot project earlier this year, and got very positive comments from people who attended.
Our new, ongoing program will be offered every week beginning October 20, 2008.
Time: Monday evenings, 6:00 - 8:00 PM
Location: Veterans Benefit Clearinghouse, 38 Dudley St., Roxbury, MA Accessible by the Orange Line (Roxbury Crossing) and several buses including #1 and #66.
For more information on the program, call Pathways to Wellness at 617-859-3036.
If you would like to support this effort, we need to raise about $5000 to cover the cost of supplies for one year of the program. You can make a tax-deductible contribution at http://www.firstgiving.com/veteransacupuncture. Thank you!
