Electro-acupuncture is a modern therapy that enhances traditional acupuncture by using gentle electrical stimulation to boost pain relief, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

What Is Electro-Acupuncture?

Electro-acupuncture is an advanced form of traditional acupuncture that combines the time-tested benefits of needle therapy with gentle electrical stimulation. This modern technique enhances the effects of acupuncture by delivering low-frequency electrical pulses through the needles, offering deeper and more consistent stimulation to specific acupuncture points.

How It Works

Electro-acupuncture works on the same principles as traditional acupuncture — balancing the flow of Qi (vital-energy) and improving circulation — but it uses a small, controlled electrical current to further stimulate the acupoints. Fine, sterile needles are inserted into targeted points, and then connected to a specialised electro-acupuncture device using clips and wires. The electrical stimulation is carefully adjusted based on your condition and comfort level, delivering a therapeutic pulsing sensation to the treated areas.

Electro-acupuncture is particularly effective for conditions that benefit from stronger and more sustained stimulation, including:

• Chronic and acute pain (e.g. back pain, sciatica, joint pain)

• Muscle spasms and tightness

• Neurological conditions such as sciatica, nerve pain, and stroke rehabilitation

• Sports injuries and recovery

• Arthritis and inflammation

• Fertility support and menstrual disorders

• Stress, anxiety, and insomnia

Key Benefits

• Enhances the effects of traditional acupuncture

• Provides consistent stimulation for better therapeutic results

• Helps release endorphins and improve blood flow

• Reduces inflammation and promotes tissue repair

• Encourages natural healing and energetic balance

What to Expect

• Comfortable & Safe: Most patients feel a gentle tapping or pulsing sensation, not pain.

• Customised Treatment: Intensity and frequency are tailored to suit your condition and sensitivity.

• Relaxing Experience: Many people find the rhythmic pulses soothing and even fall asleep during treatment.

• Duration: A session typically lasts 30–45 minutes, depending on your health needs.
