Electro Acupuncture or E Stim is when electricity is applied to an acupuncture needle by way of a small electrode. The electrode gives off the effect of your acupuncturist activating the point by hand and ensures you get the right amount of stimulation during your whole treatment.

It may sound intimidating but its comfortable and effective in treating a vast variety of health conditions. The obvious being musculoskeletal issues or sports injury, but estim can be used in the treatment of autoimmune conditions, incontinence or prolapse, bell’s palsy, neuropathy, digestive disorders, endocrine disorders, sleep, stress reduction and so on!

When trained, your TCMD can apply estim when and where appropriate to help achieve your health and wellness goals.
