Electro Acupuncture

Service Description

Electro acupuncture is an advanced treatment in comparison to traditional acupuncture. It connects two needles in each meridian point, or Trigger points (Ashi points), and then connects to a machine that passes a small electric current through the needle. Depending on what type of Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis (TCM diagnosis), Electroacupuncture helps to block your pain by activating bioactive chemicals in your body. This process may decrease your sensitivity to the pain you’re feeling. It’s also been shown to help reduce inflammation in your body. ‌ When you get electroacupuncture, it activates your sympathetic nerve fibers. By activating these fibers, your body releases endogenous opioids such as endorphins, which help to reduce inflammation. The activated nerve fibers may also help to reduce feelings of persistent pain. This makes it a good treatment for chronic pain and stress.
