About the PTSD Clinic

Wu Hsing Tao's PTSD Clinic was started in May 2009, offering free Five-Element Acupuncture to people suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The PTSD Clinic started as a pilot study exploring the effectiveness of Five Element Acupuncture on PTSD. Patients were required to commit to a minimum of eight acupuncture treatments. After a four month trial, patient results were positive and they reported an average 64% improvement. Prior to treatment, patients felt disconnected and uninterested in hobbies and things they used to do. Many of the PTSD patients have transitioned to our Student Clinic to continue their health care and track their progress.
