Dr. Lee worked for a year at PTSD clinic in National University of Health Sciences and has seen numerous veterans at the clinic; most of them have been suffering for many decades from pain, depression, anxiety, anger, addiction and sleep disturbance due to PTSD. At the PTSD clinic, he treated veterans with many kinds of different acupuncture techniques including scalp, auricular, hands, electro acupuncture, Tung’s acupuncture, Korean needle techniques and NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) protocol. Vets visiting the PTSD clinic were those who served in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the current conflict in Afghanistan. Many cases of their condition were complex and serious in which they rely on prescription drugs. Dozens of veterans and their families were helped by acupuncture treatment and improved their quality of life by effectively reducing the symptoms of PTSD and their reliance on prescription drugs.
