Many veterans who have served our country well suffer from a variety of symptoms and illnesses after deployment. Some of the common conditions they deal with are anxiety, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome), depression, headaches, pain, and insomnia. A very standard treatment for these conditions is a prescription for medication. In some cases, medications can provide relief. There can also be a downside. Even when drugs are effective there may be accompanying negative side effects and sometimes dependence or addiction.
Now, as part of its Whole Health Initiative, the Veterans Administration is making alternative or complementary therapies available to veterans. The list of therapies being made available include Acupuncture, Biofeedback, Clinical hypnosis, Guided imagery, Massage therapy, Meditation, Tai chi / qi gong, Yoga, and Chiropractic care.
The VA’s website states the Whole Health Initiative program “creates a personalized health plan that considers the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and environmental needs of veterans”. The VA says the Whole Health System “acknowledges that health care involves more than the physical human body.” For information on the VA Whole Health Initiative see: https://www.military.com/militaryadvantage/2018/05/15/va-expanding-new-holistic-health-programs.html
Now veterans have these other therapies including biofeedback available to them to help them manage their symptoms and get better.
