HOW ELECTROACUPUNCTURE WORKS
Traditional Needles with Mild, Controlled Stimulation
Electroacupuncture begins like a standard acupuncture treatment. After selected needles are placed, small clips connect them to a device that delivers a low-level current. The intensity is gradually adjusted based on the treatment plan and your comfort.
Patients may feel a light pulsing, tapping, or vibrating sensation. The current should never feel sharp or overwhelming. Electroacupuncture may be considered for pain, muscle tightness, or recovery support, depending on the individual situation.
Consistent stimulation that remains within your comfort.
