Electro-acupuncture is the application of pulsating electrical current to acupuncture needles. This stimulation is mild, does not result in muscle fasciculation, and is generally well tolerated and enjoyed by patients.
Electro-acupuncture accentuates and sustains the effects of dry needling. The frequency and pattern can be adjusted to optimize pain relief, or nerve stimulation.
My favourite conditions to use electro-acupuncture with include:
Back pain
Arthritis
IVDD
Neurological conditions
Equine performance therapy
Conditions we avoid electro-acupuncture with include:
Epilepsy
Pregnancy
Patients with a pacemaker
