Acupuncture vs. Electroacupuncture: What's the Difference?

Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture uses thin, sterile needles are inserted into specific areas of the body based on a patient's physical examination, clinical findings, and diagnosis. The goal is to reduce pain, improve function, promote tissue healing, and help restore normal movement. It may be used alone or alongside other treatments, such as chiropractic care, exercise therapy, rehabilitation, or medication.

Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture builds on acupuncture by attaching a small device to selected needles. It delivers a gentle, adjustable electrical pulse that provides continuous stimulation during treatment.

Why choose Electroacupuncture?
⚡ May provide enhanced stimulation for stubborn or chronic pain
⚡ Can help reduce muscle tension and spasms
⚡ Can support improved circulation
⚡ Can be beneficial for nerve-related pain, including sciatica
⚡ May aid recovery from muscle and soft tissue injuries
