Hey Vets, today is your day! ASA proudly honors all of you who have served our country with courage and sacrifice. Happy Veterans Day! Your dedication to protecting our freedom and values does not go unnoticed, and we are deeply grateful.

When was the last time you had acupuncture? Did you know that as a veteran, you may be covered for acupuncture treatments through the VA? Acupuncture can support healing, pain relief, and well-being, and many veterans are eligible for this beneficial therapy.

Please reach out to your VA advocate to learn more about how you can access acupuncture care as part of your benefits. Thank you for your service—today and every day, we salute you and stand with you.
