Battlefield Acupuncture Protocol

Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) protocol is a safe, non-addicting, and highly effective form of auricular (ear) acupuncture that was created by Dr. Richard C. Niemtzow as a means of delivering rapid pain relief to a variety of patients. The technique is easy to learn and simply involves placing one or more tiny, semi-permanent ASP® needles in up to five specific points in the outer part of a patient’s ear. BFA is cost-effective and has been shown to provide fast and effective pain relief in about 80% of patients with either acute or chronic pain, regardless of the underlying etiology.
BFA has become a valuable means of alleviating pain in U.S. military and Veterans Health Administration hospitals and clinics, and it is being actively used in an increasing number of emergency rooms, clinics, and hospitals both domestically and internationally.
Learning Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) protocol today gives you a fast, effective, safe, and drug-free tool that you can use to help alleviate your patients’ pain!
