Dry Needling can be applied to most muscles in the body\, including tendon insertions\, making it a versatile and valuable technique for promoting overall musculoskeletal well-being. \nSeminar Objectives: \nBy the end of this course\, the participating Doctors will acquire comprehensive training in the precise application of filiform needles into the body\, encompassing proper angles and depths. Additionally\, they will gain proficiency in employing various forms of stimulation for specific muscles &/or muscle groups. The course will equip the Doctors with the expertise to effectively examine\, diagnose\, and treat specific muscles and trigger points\, ultimately reducing pain and restoring function in their patients. Upon completion\, practitioners will be fully prepared to implement these techniques immediately on their patients\, starting on Monday morning. \nSeminar Benefits:\nDiscover the Power Dry Needling Techniques\nWelcome to our comprehensive seminar\, where we merge common Dry Needling techniques to create a powerful and effective treatment approach for a wide range of conditions that patients commonly present in clinics.

SUMMARY:Battlefield Acupuncture / Treatment Protocols in the Chiropractic Practice
DESCRIPTION:Dallas\, TX – November 7 & 8\, 2026\nAcupuncture CE credits (12 Hours) / TBCE Hours (4)\nCourse Outline\nSaturday – 8:00 am to 12:00 pm \nTBCE Hours – 4 Hours\n\nEthics / Record Keeping / Documentation & Coding / Risk Management \nSaturday – 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm\nBattlefield Acupuncture\nSunday – 8:00 am to 12:00 pm / 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm\nTreatment Protocols in the Chiropractic Practice – 8 Hours\n\nBattlefield 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 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. \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.
