Battlefield Acupuncture

Dr. Thomas Piazza holds a single gold needle used in the application of Battlefield Acupuncture for the relief of pain. The single-use needles are placed in zones on a patient's ear in a simple, repeatable pattern using a plastic applicator. A medical technician can learn the procedure in a single day's training session. (U.S. Air Force photo by J.M. Eddins Jr.)
