Electrical acupuncture is often used to decrease pain, accelerate tissue healing, and
reduce inflammation, edema and swelling. EA -stimulation is often used
in conjunction with acupuncture to enhance a treatment. What would you expect during an Electro-Acupuncture treatment?
The current is slowly adjusted from low to high until the patients feels a tolerable amount of stimulation. If the patient adapts to the stimulation after one or two minutes, the current may be increased accordingly.
You will have twitching, vibrating, numbing sensation in the muscle or around the needle area while the current is on. Generally, the time period for applying current is ten to twenty minutes for each treatment.
When the required time is up , the output current is first adjusted back to zero and then the power is turned off and the outlets are disconnected from the needles. Finally, the needles are withdrawn.
