Battlefield Acupuncture was developed in 2001 by Col. Leonard Niemtzow, MD, USAF, for use when pain blocking medication is either ineffective or impractical. Acupuncture points on the ear (Auriculotherapy) are stimulated with tiny needles or light to modulate pain centers in the brain and bring relief.

Post Traumatic Stress Relief:

Troubling symptoms of unresolved trauma, including intrusive thoughts, insomnia, depression and anxiety are addressed with a combination of Battlefield Acupuncture and non-invasive innovative Mind-Body Energy Medicine.

Early Childhood Trauma:

Our first experiences, from the moment of conception, through gestation, birth and our first year of life, imprint our Body-Mind with powerful patterns of perception and behavior that often persist throughout life. These patterns may have helped us to adapt and survive as infants and young children, but hold us back physically and emotionally later in life.

Any trauma experienced in childhood including serious injury, death of a parent or sibling (including miscarried siblings), divorce, neglect or abuse may have been impossible to integrate at the time. If so, the trauma may continue to create blocks to health and happiness later in life. Using acupuncture and Energy Medicine, Dr. Gay will identify those patterns that are no longer useful, and help replace them with supportive and healing beliefs.
