Acupuncture and Massage Therapy for Wounded Warriors and their Families<br />

During aa time of war war, the impact of deployment on service members members, their families and those who who care for for them them is<br />

far-reaching. Both physical injuries and the emotional effects of war can impact one's energy, health and well-being.<br />

Individuals become more vulnerable to chronic illness, headaches and other pain syndromes, insomnia, colds and flu.<br />

Complementary medicine—acupuncture, therapeutic bodywork and other mind-body approaches—can address<br />

these symptoms, as well as calm the worry, anxiety, fear, frustration or grief experienced by service members,<br />

family members and caregivers before, during and after deployment.<br />

reduced cost for the military community—military community military service members, veterans, immediate family members, and<br />

caregivers. Alternative therapies are used to address the trauma and stress that often result from being in the<br />

military during wartime. In addition to addressing specific problems with pain, sleep, mood, digestion, etc., our<br />

treatments aim to help clients restore equilibrium and find a sense of vitality, relaxation, and wholeness in their lives.<br />

HealingWorks offers these services at reduced rates to the military community. We also have a generous sliding<br />

scale for those who cannot pay our standard fees.<br />

Restore & Renew ® sessions are held in the offices of participating p p g clinicians around the Washington, g DC<br />

modern, sophisticated and intricately detailed IT/IA services required by the U.S. Department of Defense. A<br />

member of the Fredericksburgg Chamber of Commerce for over a decade, , the DNE motto remains, , “DNE believes<br />

in investing in the future.” The company regularly reinvests in the community and the world, often making donations<br />

the Haiti earthquake relief efforts. About his company’s giving spirit, Diaz says, “I strive to help someone every day<br />

in any way I can.”<br />

Married to his high school sweetheart Donna for over 25 years, Diaz says, “My goal in life is to help families. I try to<br />

make life better for my employees so they can make a better life for their families.” Speaking of family, Diaz is the<br />

proud father of three children George the III (born in Japan), Shadea (born in Guam) and Christopher (born in the US)<br />

Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Council and an active participant in the Disabled American Veterans<br />

Organization, Diaz sees all veterans as members of a unique family of which he is very proud to be a part. As much<br />

as he gives back to his own family and his DNE family, he aspires to serve the family he has found amongst other<br />

veterans as well. It is for these reasons that Diaz’s altruistic nature compels him to donate his car to another<br />

veteran. He is proudd to hhave this h opportunity to contribute b to a fll fellow veteran in need.<br />
