Join us for a two-day Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) seminar with internationally recognized instructor John Howard, taking place Saturday, June 28 – Sunday, June 29 at the Won Institute of Graduate Studies!
What is Battlefield Acupuncture?
Battlefield Acupuncture is a powerful auricular (ear) acupuncture protocol developed by Dr. Richard C. Niemtzow, the first full-time physician acupuncturist in the U.S. Armed Forces. Originally designed for quick pain relief in combat settings, BFA is now widely used in both military and civilian healthcare systems around the world.
This technique uses semi-permanent ASP® needles to stimulate specific ear points that help reduce pain, anxiety, and insomnia—often with immediate and long-lasting effects.
BFA has been:
✔️ Recognized as a non-opioid pain solution by the AAMC
✔️ Featured in the documentary Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare
Continuing Education Credits:
✔️ 16 NCCAOM PDAs
