E-Stim

What is Electroacupuncture?

Electro-Stim Acupuncture, E-Stim, Tens Unit Acupuncture

With electroacupuncture small clips are connected to a tens unit or micro or macro stim unit, to send mild electric current or to pass between these needles during treatment. This current generally applies more stimulation to acupoints than needle twirling or other hand manipulation techniques an acupuncturist might use.

Your acupuncturist can determine if this more aggressive treatment is needed for your condition.
