Introduced by Air Force Colonel Dr. Richard Niemtzow to the United States military in 2001 to the military, “Battlefield Acupuncture” has really taken off. Traditional Chinese acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to relieve pain among soldiers as well as civilians in China. Today, many of the 50 active United States military doctors who practice acupuncture are learning this very effective modality that helps reduce the amount of narcotics soldiers take. It is actually pretty simple. A few tiny semi-permanent ear studs are placed into the skin of the ear. Within minutes, the sensation of pain is greatly reduced. The good news is that this technique is not limited to military use. Anyone suffering from pain can have an acupuncturist perform this treatment.
