Why Electroacupuncture (EA)? EA has unique therapeutic effects, and complements manual acupuncture:
- Provokes strong pain control responses through release of the brain’s own opioid neurotransmitters (including endorphins, dynorphins, enkephalins), as well as up-regulation of serotonin, a critical mood stabilizing biomolecule.
- Interrupts pain/spasm cycles, and can facilitate the gains in joint range-of-motion crucial to physical rehabilitation.
- Stimulates proprioceptive nerve fibers, resulting in muscle re-balancing and re-education of hypo-functioning or injured muscles.
- Normalizes local blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
- Speeds up cell metabolism, thus stimulating tissue repair and regeneration.
Electroacupuncture is safe for long-term use and without known side-effects. Properly-applied, electroacupuncture is no more uncomfortable, and is better tolerated by some patients, than manual stimulation of needles to bring about pain relief.
