What is Electrostimulation Acupuncture?
Like traditional acupuncture, electrostimulation acupuncture uses needles inserted in the same key places in your body. Then, I attach a small electrode to the needles, and a small current of electricity goes through the electrodes while lending a soft hum, pulsation, or slight vibration to your treatment.
When I use electrodes, it gives you the same effect of gently activating your acupuncture points with my hands, and it helps to ensure you get the perfect amount of stimulation throughout your entire treatment. Also, the electrodes are wonderful for activating your acupuncture points quicker, which can potentially shorten your session.
Additionally, when I use electrostimulation acupuncture on you, I can easily cover larger areas of your body in a shorter time than I could with traditional acupuncture. This allows me to be more accurate and thorough to help address any pain or issues you may have.
How Electrostimulation Acupuncture Works
Two needles are put into each acupuncture point or meridian during your electrostimulation acupuncture session. I then connect them to a machine that allows a small electrical current to pass through the needle into your muscles.
This proven, gentle therapy allows you to naturally block pain by activating your body’s bioactive chemicals. In turn, this process could potentially decrease your pain sensitivity, and it can help lower the inflammation levels in your body.
When you come in for an electrostimulation acupuncture appointment with me, I can use it to activate your sympathetic nerve fibers. Activating these fibers can encourage your body to release endorphins and other beneficial endogenous opioids, as well as helping with many processes in your body. Once activated, they may also help reduce any pain sensations you experience, making them a great option to help treat and manage stress or chronic pain.
Additionally, electrostimulation acupuncture might encourage your body to release MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) into your blood. As an adult, these stem cells in your bone marrow create different tissue types in your body. As a bonus, they have natural healing properties.
Enjoy the Benefits of Electrostimulation Acupuncture
As an experienced acupuncturist, I’m excited to share electrostimulation acupuncture’s benefits. This excellent technique combines a gentle electrical current with traditional acupuncture to maximize your body’s healing potential.
One of the significant benefits I’ve noticed with my clients is its effectiveness in enhancing acupuncture’s impact. By applying a gentle electrical current to the needles, I can stimulate each acupuncture point more effectively, giving you quick relief from pain or other symptoms. I’ve found that this has been very beneficial for clients with chronic pain or conditions that resist other forms of treatment.
It also works very well to help treat and manage neurological disorders and the accompanying symptoms. Some practitioners use it to help during stroke rehabilitation and for chronic conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and peripheral neuropathy. The gentle electrical stimulation helps to improve nerve function, promote neural regeneration, and reduce inflammation.
I’ve also noticed that this form of acupuncture can help boost your circulation. Having much better circulation can help encourage quicker healing, improve wellness, and lower inflammation levels. It’s a fantastic way to ensure your body’s natural healing processes function correctly.
Moreover, many clients tell me that electrostimulation acupuncture gives a deep, unique sense of relaxation. It can help calm your nervous system, encouraging tranquility and peace. This could benefit you if you’re dealing with higher stress levels, mental health issues, or you find it difficult to relax and unwind.
Finally, I can tailor your electrostimulation acupuncture session to your individual needs. I can easily adjust the intensity and frequency of the electrical current, and this lets me tailor your treatment plan to help meet your unique comfort levels and health conditions.
What to Expect with Your Treatment
If you want to attend an electrostimulation acupuncture treatment session, I’m excited to welcome you to my clinic. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect when you come for your appointment.
When you first arrive, we’ll sit down for a brief but thorough consultation. This is a chance to discuss your health history, determine any goals or concerns, and uncover how electrostimulation acupuncture could benefit you.
Once I set up a tailored treatment plan, I’ll take you to the room and have you lie down comfortably, either face-down or face-up, depending on the area you want me to treat. I’ll carefully insert fine, thin, sterile needles into specific vital points in your body. I’ll choose these points based on your treatment goals and health condition to maximize the benefits. You may feel a slight prick as I insert the needle, but it generally causes minimal discomfort for most clients.
The next step is where electrostimulation acupuncture differs from traditional acupuncture. Once I get the needles correctly placed, I’ll attach smaller clips that connect to the electrostimulation acupuncture device. This is what sends the pulsing, gentle electrical current into the needles. I can adjust the intensity to ensure you stay comfortable throughout the appointment. Some clients described this sensation as a gentle pulsing or mild tingling feeling.
I’ll check in on you regularly throughout the session to ensure you stay comfortable. Remember, I design the entire procedure to be as beneficial and relaxing as possible. In fact, many of my clients find it so relaxing that they drift to sleep.
The session usually lasts an hour, and I have the needles in place for 20 to 30 minutes. After we finish, it’s common to feel a sense of well-being and deep relaxation. Everyone’s experience with electrostimulation acupuncture is different, and your treatment response may vary. However, this is all part of your wellness journey.
