Electrical Stimulation
Ready to take your acupuncture treatment to the next level? Electrical stimulation of acupuncture needles is the perfect blend of modern modalities and ancient medicine.
This gentle and effective technique sends a mild current through the acupuncture needles, stimulating the body’s innate healing response without discomfort.
Wary of E-stim acupuncture? We hear ya! The combination of electricity AND needles may sound a little off-putting. But we promise, the treatment is actually quite gentle, subtle, and will enhance the effectiveness of a more traditional acupuncture session.
Your practitioner will start with minimal stimulation and build slowly - and you're in charge of just how much current you want to experience.
How It Helps
Electro-acupuncture enhances a traditional treatment by markedly increasing circulation, modulating pain receptors, and regulating the “fight or flight” response within our soft tissues.
Adding electro-stimulation is particularly helpful for conditions involving acute pain, numbness or tingling, or tissues in which the nerve is impinged or impeded.
Who It’s For
Electrical stimulation may be recommended for:
- Chronic or acute pain
- Numbness or tingling sensations
- Nerve-related injuries
- Muscle recovery and circulation support
