What Is Electroacupuncture?
Electroacupuncture is a modern twist on an ancient healing technique.
It combines the wisdom of traditional acupuncture with a touch of electricity.
Here's how: we insert fine needles into specific acupoints, just like with traditional acupuncture. Then attach tiny electrodes to these needles, creating a subtle electric current. The sensation feels like a gentle pulse, hum or vibration on the acupoints during the treatment.
How Does It Work?
🧪 Bioactive Chemistry: The electric current activates bioactive chemicals in your body, blocking pain signals and reducing inflammation.
😃 Endorphin Boost: Electroacupuncture stimulates your sympathetic nerve fibers, releasing endorphins—natural painkillers that soothe chronic pain and stress.
🎩 Stem Cell Magic: Studies suggest it encourages the release of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from your bone marrow. These MSCs repair tissues and boost resilience.
Conditions It Can Treat:
🧠 Neurological Diseases: From nerve palsies to neuropathic pain, electroacupuncture lends a helping hand.
💥 Chronic Pain: Whether it's back pain, arthritis, or migraines, those zappy needles might just be your new BFFs.
💪 Muscle Spasms: Say goodbye to those pesky cramps. Electroacupuncture has your back!
❤️🩹 Paralysis: It won't make you leap tall buildings, but it can support your recovery.
