New and Effective Battlefield Acupuncture

With common pain medication and what is considered "standard" medical care, a 25% reduction in chronic pain is considered a success. But, what if you could reduce your chronic or ongoing pain by 75%? Battlefield Acupuncture does just that, blowing medical standards out of the water.

Battlefield Acupuncture is fairly new-- started only eleven years ago-- but is already being used by the US military in war zones to help soldiers manage pain. It combines centuries old acupuncture techniques with new methods and is one of the most effective forms of pain management available today.

Some roll their eyes at the thought of acupuncture, but Battlefield Acupuncture is catching on quickly-- because it works. In 2010 alone, 60 physicians were trained in Battlefield Acupuncture at Andrews Air Force Base and army bases in Germany, Korea, Washington, Florida, and Alaska.

The Air Force is leading the way in Battlefield Acupuncture. In fact, it was a retired Air Force colonel who developed the technique! The Air Force even has an entire facility dedicated to acupuncture. The Air Force Acupuncture Center is the first facility of its kind and was established to do research, teach techniques, and heal.

Acupuncture involves placing very thin needles at specific points on the body to try to control pain and reduce stress. Battlefield Acupuncture is all about placement. When an injured serviceman receives a Battlefield Acupuncture treatment, tiny needles are placed in his outer ear. Effects of the treatments are, in most cases, almost instant.

Although it was developed by an Airman and aimed primarily for our US troops, Battlefield Acupuncture is now being used to treat every day pain in civilian patients.
