The Portland Veterans Acupuncture Project (PVAP) is a non-profit, donation-only acupuncture clinic that has been providing treatment to military veterans and their companions since October 2007. Founded by a researcher and two acupuncture practitioners, PVAP aims to address the stress-related symptoms experienced by veterans through the use of acupuncture, a complementary medical practice that shows promise in treating the root causes of these problems.
With a mission to improve the physical and mental well-being of veterans and their families, PVAP operates as a group clinic where patients receive acupuncture treatment in a large common room. By relying solely on donations from patients, PVAP ensures that there are no barriers to healing for veterans seeking relief from symptoms such as nightmares, sleeping problems, substance abuse, and difficulty concentrating, which are often overlooked or untreated by the medical system.
