Free acupuncture for veterans and active duty military at Solid Ground in Wallingford on Monday nights
Every Monday veterans can receive free acupuncture treatments at Solid Ground in Wallingford (1501 N 45th St) from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. The O’Kelly McClusky Seattle Military Stress Recovery Project is providing the treatments to veterans, active military, and their families.
“Treatments are based on the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) ear protocol, which has proven to be extremely powerful in alleviating symptoms of stress and trauma,” writes licensed acupuncturist Brenda Loew, who is one of the founders of the clinic.
During the appointment, participants sit fully clothed in chairs, and the licensed acupuncturist places 5 tiny needles on each ear. Participants then are invited to close their eyes and relax for 30-45 minutes while the acupuncture does its work.
“Veterans at these clinics are experiencing benefits such as a full night’s sleep for the first time in years and fewer bad dreams. They are reporting improved mental clarity, less anxiety and a reduction in stress,” writes Loew.
If you are interested in receiving treatment at The Military Stress Recovery Project or to volunteer, email [email protected] or call Brenda at (206) 930 – 1238. This is a walk-in clinic, no appointments necessary. Just drop by at Solid Ground anytime between 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. each Monday evening (except holidays when the Solid Ground building is closed). Please arrive no later than 7:30 p.m. to ensure that you can gain the benefits of receiving a full session.
