Electro-Acupuncture

Electro-acupuncture is a technique where acupuncture needles are inserted into a specific muscle and then stimulated with electricity to intensify the acupuncture treatment. We attach electrode clips to the acupuncture needles to elicit a gently “tapping” sensation for 20-30 minutes. This technique blends the science of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Physiology to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

Electro-Acupuncture can be used in many different scenarios and in combination with other types of modalities. It is particularly effective for acute or chronic pain management.

Common conditions that electro-acupuncture can be beneficial for:

• Joint Sprains
• Muscle strains
• Adhesive Capsulitis (frozen shoulder)
• Plantar fasciitis
• Repetitive use injuries (tennis elbow, golfers elbow, Achilles tendonitis)
• Muscle spasms
• Post-surgical rehab
• Increasing joint range of motion
