BATTLEFIELD ACUPUNCTURE
Rapid pain relief through innovative ear acupuncture
Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) is a cutting-edge auricular acupuncture technique that offers swift and effective pain relief. Developed by Dr. Richard Niemtzow, a retired Air Force colonel, this method was originally designed for use in military settings where quick pain management is crucial.
At Lycoming Orthopedic & Sports Acupuncture, we're proud to offer this advanced treatment to both athletes and individuals seeking rapid pain alleviation.
How Battlefield Acupuncture Works
BFA utilizes specialized gold ASP® (Aiguille Semi-Permanente) needles inserted into specific points on the ear. These unique needles are designed to remain in place for several days, providing continuous pain relief even after you leave our clinic.
The treatment targets precise zones in the ear that correspond to pain-processing centers in the brain. By stimulating these points, BFA can effectively “reset” your body’s pain signals, offering immediate and lasting relief.
Benefits of Battlefield Acupuncture
- Rapid pain relief, often felt immediately after treatment
- Long-lasting effects that continue for days after the session
- Minimally invasive with little to no side effects
- Reduces reliance on pain medications
- Can be used to treat various types of pain, including chronic conditions
- May also help with anxiety and insomnia
Who Can Benefit from Battlefield Acupuncture?
BFA is an excellent option for:
- Athletes recovering from injuries or managing chronic pain
- Individuals seeking alternatives to traditional pain management
- Those looking for quick relief from acute or chronic pain
