Battlefield Acupuncture in Clearwater, FL
Rapid acute-pain and anxiety protocol — developed by the U.S. military, now in our office.
Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) is a standardized auricular (ear) protocol developed by the U.S. Air Force for use in field medicine. Five tiny semi-permanent needles are placed at specific points on the ear and remain in place for 3–5 days, providing continuous neurological input for acute pain and anxiety.
We use BFA in-clinic for acute flares, as an adjunct in our chronic pain protocols, and as a foundational treatment for veterans (we are proud to provide veteran-friendly care).
