Electro-Stimulation
Another relatively new form of therapy treatment is Electro-Stimulation. The history and roots of this technique may be debatable, but there’s no arguing that it’s becoming quite a popular type of treatment for a wide variety of ailments. Electro-Stimulation doesn’t really differ too much from traditional acupuncture since it stimulates the same points during treatment. Like traditional acupuncture, needles are inserted into specific points along your body.
In Electro-Stimulation, these needles are attached to a device which uses small clips to generate continuous electronic pulses. The intensity and frequency of the impulse can be increased or decreased depending on the condition which is being treated. Two needles are used at a time which enables the impulses to pass from needle to needle. In addition, several pairs of these needles can be stimulated at the same time.
