Electroacupuncture is a modern variation of traditional acupuncture that involves the application of a small electrical current to the needles inserted into specific acupoints on the body. This technique is used to enhance the effects of standard acupuncture by providing continuous and controlled stimulation to the targeted areas. Electroacupuncture is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is often recommended for conditions that require a more intensive or sustained therapeutic approach. In an electroacupuncture session, after the needles are inserted into the acupoints, they are connected to a device that generates electrical impulses. These impulses are transmitted through the needles and into the body, creating a mild and adjustable electrical current that can be tuned for frequency and intensity based on the patient's needs and comfort level. The electrical stimulation in electroacupuncture is believed to enhance the flow of Qi and blood in the body more effectively than manual manipulation alone. It also stimulates the nervous system, which can help modulate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. The technique is particularly beneficial for treating conditions that involve chronic pain, muscle spasms, and nerve damage. Electroacupuncture is used to treat a variety of conditions, especially those related to pain and neurological issues. Some of the most common conditions treated with electroacupuncture include: Chronic pain Muscle spasms Nerve pain Stroke rehabilitation Post-surgical recovery Stress and anxiety Addiction recovery
