Electro-Acupuncture

Why Choose Electroacupuncture?

While manual acupuncture has long been celebrated for its therapeutic benefits, electroacupuncture takes these effects to the next level. By delivering controlled electrical pulses through acupuncture needles, EA amplifies the body’s natural healing mechanisms, making it:

• More effective for pain relief and muscle recovery.

• Ideal for conditions requiring consistent stimulation, such as chronic pain and neurological issues.

• Gentle yet powerful, with adjustable frequencies tailored to your needs.

How Does Electroacupuncture Work?

Electroacupuncture involves attaching small clips to acupuncture needles and connecting them to a device that delivers gentle electrical currents. These pulses stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, and other neurochemicals like enkephalins and dynorphins (Ulett et al.). Depending on techniques used, it can also light up specific areas of the brain to neuro rehabilitate their functions.

• Low-frequency stimulation (2 Hz): Ideal for long-term pain relief by releasing enkephalins.

• High-frequency stimulation (100 Hz): Targets acute pain and inflammation by releasing dynorphins.

Clinical studies demonstrate that electroacupuncture effectively treats:

Pain disorders: Chronic back pain, arthritis, migraines, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction (Li et al., 2023) (Ji et al., 2017).

 Neurological conditions: Stroke rehabilitation and nerve pain (Li et al., 2023).

Mental health issues: Depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders (Shao et  al., 2021). (Spence et al., 2004)
