Electrical Stimulation

Electric stimulation therapy involves connecting a machine to two acupuncture needles and that passes a small electric current through the needles. Electric stimulation relieves pain by activating bioactive chemicals in your body. It also reduces inflammation in your body by activating the sympathetic nerve fibers which release endogenous opioids such as endorphins that reduce inflammation and can relieve chronic pain. Recent research shows that electric acupuncture releases mesenchymal stem cells into your bloodstream. Mesenchymal stem cells create different types of tissues and have healing properties. It also increases blood flow to relieve any pain and help with poor circulation.
