Acupuncture uses thin needles to stimulate specific points to relieve pain and other health issues and symptoms. The electroacupuncture procedure involves traditional needle insertion, then a small electrode is attached to the needle/s. The electrode generates a gentle vibration that stimulates the energy circulating through the points. Electroacupuncture is believed to help increase blood circulation, which can help relieve any pain and potential blockages.

It is soothing, providing a soft vibration and fluid treatment. The electrode takes over for the acupuncturist’s hand, moving the needle to activate the point/s. This helps prevent the acupuncturist from getting tired and ensures that the individual receives optimal stimulation. And electroacupuncture treatments tend to be shorter than regular treatments because of the continued and stronger electrical stimulation. A unique advantage of electro-acupuncture is its ability to simulate larger areas. Conditions that electroacupuncture can treat include:

Stress
Chronic pain
Muscle spasms
Nerve injuries
Arthritis
Sports injuries
Obesity
Hormonal imbalances
Digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea
Neurological conditions

Electroacupuncture increases the intensity of the signals sent through the needles to help increase communication.
