Battlefield Acupuncture Treatment

The term battlefield acupuncture was first used by Col. Richard Niemtzow who is a specialist in medical science.  He felt the urgency to introduce acupuncture for the military personnel and soldiers who suffer from a lot of pain and orthopedic diseases.  It has the competency to wipe out pain and provides relief to the patients from severe orthopedic pain.

As per the recent official declaration, the American Air Force has been served a notice by the American higher authority directing the officials to train the physicians and the medical practitioners of the Air Force on pushing acupuncture treatment into the body of the patient in severe pain.  This new medical process was first launched by the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. This new treatment called battlefield acupuncture was applied to the injured soldiers who suffered the brunt of ear pain and back pain.  Short needles were used for puncturing the skin of the ear in order to bringing down pain within a time frame of five minutes. The pain was gone and the patients were relieved. 50% back ache reduction occurred in the due course of time. The chronic pain in the shoulder nosedived up to 25% within short span of time after the application of this newly invented technique.

After extensive research, the experts have confirmed that this acupuncture treatment process is not only competent but it also provides quick results for patients – reducing severe pain.  It is also capable of providing a longer lasting impact compared to conventional treatment. Richard Niemtzow is a very competent medical practitioner and researcher who has claimed that this treatment is now the best alternative medium for relief from back aches and severe back spasm. According to the researchers, acupuncture actually blocks the supply line of pain signals going to the brain.
