Electro Stimulation

Electro Stimulation

Electro Stimulation is a modern variation of traditional acupuncture that is offered at KatieKim Acupuncture & Herb Clinic. This technique combines the principles of acupuncture with electrical stimulation, enhancing the effects of traditional needle insertion. In Electroacupuncture, small electrodes are attached to the acupuncture needles after they have been inserted into the skin. A gentle electrical current is then passed through the needles, creating a pulsating sensation that helps stimulate the targeted areas more effectively than manual manipulation alone.

The primary benefits of Electroacupuncture include pain relief, muscle relaxation, and improved circulation. It is especially effective for conditions involving nerve pain, inflammation, and chronic pain syndromes. Electroacupuncture helps to speed up the healing process, reduce muscle tension, and enhance the body’s natural healing abilities, making it a valuable tool in holistic health care.
