What is Electroacupuncture?
Electroacupuncture is a modern enhancement of traditional acupuncture. In this technique, small clips are attached to the ends of acupuncture needles and connected to a gentle, battery-powered device that delivers a mild electrical current. This current stimulates the needles, amplifying the effects of acupuncture.
How Does It Work?
From a biomedical perspective, electroacupuncture promotes the body’s natural healing responses by:
- Increasing circulation to targeted areas
- Stimulating the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers
- Modulating the nervous system to help regulate inflammation and reduce stress responses
It’s particularly effective for treating chronic pain, neurological conditions, and fertility support. The gentle pulses mimic natural nerve signals, helping reset pain pathways and optimize body function.
Why It’s Effective..
Clinical studies have shown electroacupuncture to be especially helpful for conditions like:
- Sciatica and back pain
- Muscle spasms or tension
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Menstrual irregularities and IVF support
Many patients find that electroacupuncture sessions provide faster and longer-lasting relief than manual acupuncture alone.
