What Is Electro Acupuncture?

Electro acupuncture involves attaching small electrodes to traditional acupuncture needles. A mild electric current is passed between pairs of needles to stimulate specific acupuncture points more deeply. The sensation is typically relaxing, and the intensity is always adjusted to your comfort level. This advanced technique promotes stronger therapeutic effects than manual acupuncture alone, helping accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and regulate the body’s internal systems.

Common Conditions Treated

Chronic & acute pain
Muscle tension or spasms
Headaches & migraines
Sciatica & nerve pain
Arthritis & joint pain
Menstrual cramps
Post-operative recovery
Facial paralysis or Bell’s palsy

What to Expect During Your Electro Acupuncture Session?

Each session begins with a thorough consultation to determine your unique needs. Once the needles are gently inserted, we will then apply low-frequency electrical stimulation for 20–30 minutes. Most patients feel relaxed, and many experience immediate relief. A personalized treatment plan will be recommended for best results.
