Electric Acupuncture
Electro-Acupuncture is quite similar to traditional acupuncture in that
the same points are stimulated during treatment. As with traditional
acupuncture, needles are inserted on specific points along the body. The
needles are then attached to a device that generates continuous
electric pulses using small clips. These devices are used to adjust the
frequency and intensity of the impulse being delivered, depending on the
condition being treated. Electroacupuncture uses two needles at time so
that the impulses can pass from one needle to the other. Several pairs
of needles can be stimulated simultaneously, usually for no more than 30
minutes at a time.
