In a sample of 2597 soldiers who had served in Afghanistan and Iraq\, 44% reported pain lasting for more than 3 months\, half of whom reported pain for 1 year or more.  Besides obvious questions regarding the mechanisms of action\, the comparative efficacy\, and duration of effects\, the Department of Defense and Veterans Health System embrace of BFA presents an opportunity to study the adaption and implementation of this most fascinating complementary technique into traditional western practice. If the promise of BFA holds true\, it will add an important treatment option in physiatrists’ arsenal to treat acute and chronic pain.” \nThis unique treatment also utilized a very special auricular needle called the ASP Needle. This needle is currently being used to treat verterns in most VA hospitals for all types of Auricular acupuncture.   \nBattlefield Acupuncture is a technique that originally and still utilizes 5 specific Auricular points.  It is not just using those 5 Auricular points randomly.  There is specific particular pattern\, specific point order and specific point combinations\, for the treatment for the reduction of pain.  The treatment process includes protocols which enhances the application of the Auricular points. \nDr. Hanson has enhanced the treatment protocols with other brain enhancing protocols which strengthens the effects of the overall treatment. \nThis technique can be a valuable tool to reduce pain in your patients and let you treat them more effectively. \n  \nTreatment Protocols in the Chiropractic Practice\n\nCourse Description\nThis presentation will provide an in depth look at how pain affects the human body.  Correlation of Western medicine neurology and the aspect of pain in comparison to the Chinese medicine viewpoint of what actually causes pain.

SUMMARY:100 Hour Acupuncture Program
DESCRIPTION:100 Hour Acupuncture Program\nAcupuncture stands as a globally recognized and revered therapeutic art\, spanning cultures and continents. As articulated by the esteemed institution\, Johns Hopkins Medicine\, acupuncture involves the meticulous insertion of slender\, solid\, metallic needles into the skin\, subsequently brought to life through delicate and precise movements guided by the practitioner’s skilled hands or even through the application of controlled electrical impulses. Rooted in the timeless wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine\, acupuncture asserts its identity as a distinct and ancient healing tradition. \nIt’s crucial to underscore that acupuncture does not find its place as a mere subset of chiropractic practices\, nor does it represent a specialized technique within that realm. Rather\, it commands a unique and autonomous position within the realm of holistic healing systems\, synergistically aligning itself with the principles of chiropractic care. The curriculum at hand has been meticulously crafted to empower Doctors of Chiropractic with the knowledge and expertise required to seamlessly integrate acupuncture into their therapeutic repertoire alongside chiropractic methodologies. \nAstoundingly\, Dr. Hanson\, the distinguished educator spearheading this certification course\, not only holds the esteemed title of Doctor of Chiropractic but also stands as a Licensed Acupuncturist\, a testament to his multidisciplinary expertise. Dr. Hanson’s wealth of experiential knowledge has been meticulously cultivated through the meticulous application of acupuncture within the sanctuary of his private practices. Moreover\, his mastery in the art of pedagogy serves as an assurance that the profound intricacies of this time-honored healing art will be imparted with remarkable efficacy and resonance. \nEmbarking on the journey of acupuncture has the potential to elevate your practice to unprecedented heights\, ushering in new dimensions of holistic care and patient well-being.

Each state in the United States has its own chiropractic board or regulatory agency responsible for overseeing the practice of chiropractic and related modalities like acupuncture. The regulations and requirements can vary significantly from one state to another. \nIf you’re looking for information about regulations for chiropractors practicing acupuncture in a specific state\, I recommend visiting the official website of the relevant state chiropractic board or regulatory agency. They typically provide detailed information about licensing requirements\, scope of practice\, continuing education\, and any other regulations that chiropractors practicing acupuncture must follow in that particular state. \nRemember that the field of healthcare regulations is subject to change\, and it’s important to verify information from official and reliable sources. \nCouncil of Chiropractic Acupuncture & American Board of Chiropractic Acupuncture \nFederation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards \nNational Board of Chiropractic Examiners \nRegistration is through Parker University’s (Parker Chiropractic College) website for 100 & 200 Hour Programs\n100 Hour Program in Dallas 2024 (Registration at Parker University.)\nJune 21 & 22\, 2025\nJuly 19 & 20\, 2025\nAugust 16 & 17\, 2025\nSeptember 20 & 21\, 2025\nOctober 18 & 19\, 2025\nNovember 15 & 16\, 2025 \n200 Hour Program in Dallas 2025 (Registration at Parker University.)\nTo be announced.\nIf you are interested in the 2nd 100 hours of the 300 hour diplomate program\, please email Dr. Hanson at DrHansonEMI@Outlook.com  \n300 Hour Program in Dallas 2025 (Registration at Eastern Medicine Institute.)\nJune 6\, 7 & 8\, 2025\nJuly 11\, 12 & 13\, 2025\nAugust 1\, 2 & 3\, 2025\nSeptember 5\, 6 & 7\, 2025

SUMMARY:Battle Field Acupuncture / Advanced Needling Techniques in the Treatment of Pain - March 25 & 26\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:Battlefield Acupuncture \nBattlefield Acupuncture (BFA) is an Auricular Therapy technique (Ear acupuncture) which is utilized on the battlefield where standard western medical protocols cannot be effectively utilized.  It is an effective technique for the reduction of pain. \nAn article in the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation: March 2018 states: “Chronic pain is a serious problem for combat veterans and soldiers. In a sample of 2597 soldiers who had served in Afghanistan and Iraq\, 44% reported pain lasting for more than 3 months\, half of whom reported pain for 1 year or more.  Besides obvious questions regarding the mechanisms of action\, the comparative efficacy\, and duration of effects\, the Department of Defense and Veterans Health System embrace of BFA presents an opportunity to study the adaption and implementation of this most fascinating complementary technique into traditional western practice. If the promise of BFA holds true\, it will add an important treatment option in psychiatrists’ arsenal to treat acute and chronic pain.” \nThis unique treatment also utilized a very special auricular needle called the ASP Needle. This needle is currently being used to treat verterns in most VA hospitals for all types of Auricular acupuncture.   \nBattlefield Acupuncture is a technique that originally and still utilizes 5 specific Auricular points.  It is not just using those 5 Auricular points randomly.  There is specific particular pattern\, specific point order and specific point combinations\, for the treatment for the reduction of pain.  The treatment process includes protocols which enhances the application of the Auricular points. \nDr. Hanson has enhanced the treatment protocols with other brain enhancing protocols which strengthens the effects of the overall treatment. \nThis technique can be a valuable tool to reduce pain in your patients and let you treat them more effectively. \nCourse Outline \nSaturday – 8:00 am to 5:00 pm \nTBCE 4 Hours \n8:00 am to 12:00 pm \nEthics (1 Hour)\nRecord Keeping (1 Hour)\nDocumentation & Coding (1 Hour)\nRisk Management (1 Hour) \nLunch 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm \nBattlefield Acupuncture \n1:00 to 1:30 – Introduction & History of Battlefield Acupuncture\n1:30 to 2:00 – Subluxation Complex\nThe relationship of the subluxation complex of the spinal levels with the treatment of pain in the various parts of the body.\n2:00 to 2:30 – The ASP needle & the needling technique /  Clean Needle technique procedures for all types of Auricular Acupuncture / Insertion of the ASP needle.\n2:30 to 3:15 – The 5 Auricular points & overall functions\n3:15 to 3:45 – Uses & benefits of Battlefield Acupuncture\n3:45 to 4:00 – BFA protocol & Outcomes\n4:00 to 5:00 – Application / Types of stimulation / Review & overviews of procedure \nSunday – 8:00 am to 12:00 pm / 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm \nAdvanced Needling Techniques in the Treatment of Pain  \nCourse Description \nThis presentation will provide an in depth look at how pain affects the human body.  Correlation of Western medicine neurology and the aspect of pain in comparison to the Chinese medicine viewpoint of what actually causes pain.
