electro acupuncture

This is the application of attaching an electrical machine to the needle. Electro acupuncture is similar to traditional acupuncture in that the same points are stimulated during treatment. As with traditional acupuncture, needles are inserted at specific treatment points along the body. A Micro-current of electricity is applied to acupuncture needles as a means of further stimulating the acupuncture points. The needles are attached by leads to the device, which generates continuous electric pulses using small clips at the head of the needles. These devices are used to adjust the frequency and intensity of the impulse being delivered, depending on the condition being treated. Electroacupuncture uses two needles at time so that the impulses can pass from one needle to the other. Several pairs of needles can be stimulated at once, usually for no more than 30 minutes at a time.Electro Acupuncture is especially useful for conditions in which there is a stagnation or blockage of Qi (energy), such as in pain syndromes, post surgery, or in difficult to treat cases.
