Electroacupuncture as a Novel Therapeutic Modality
Electroacupuncture therapy involves insertion and electrostimulation of very fine acupuncture needles. It is a Western adaptation of Traditional Chinese Acupuncture. We use current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology to stimulate these acupuncture points with tiny electrical currents. This therapy is backed by adequate Clinical Evidence.
MANAGE PAIN
Electroacupuncture therapy causes the release of natural opioid peptides (endorphins & dynorphins) & serotonin to help with stress response and pain. It also controls the Gate Mechanism in the spinal cord to modify pain.
