In electro-acupuncture, acupuncture needles are placed at specific points on the body and then a low-frequency electric current is passed through them. This electric current stimulates nerves and muscles and can help improve blood circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve the functioning of organs and body systems.

What is electric acupuncture?

 Electric acupuncture

Electro-acupuncture is a treatment method in which electric current is used to stimulate acupuncture points. This treatment method is based on traditional Chinese medicine, which believes that vital energy or “chi” flows through the body through pathways called meridians. Obstruction or disturbance in the flow of qi can lead to disease.

Performance

Electroacupuncture is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which believes that the flow of vital energy or “chi” in the body flows through pathways called meridians. Obstruction or disturbance in the flow of qi can lead to disease. In electroacupuncture, acupuncture needles are placed at specific points on the body known as acupuncture points. These points are located along the meridians. A low frequency electric current is then passed through the needles. This electric current stimulates nerves and muscles and can help improve blood circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve the functioning of organs and body systems.
