ELECTRIC STIMULATION

​

Electroacupuncture or “estim” is traditional acupuncture with the application of mild, pulsating, electric current to the acupuncture needles. Acupuncturists use estim when a patient’s condition would benefit from prolonged needle stimulation at specific indicated acupuncture sites (for example, Pericardium 6 for nausea) or for areas of soft tissue injury or nerve damage. For example, we might use estim to promote stroke recovery. Electric Stimulation (aka e-stim) is great for:

 

• Pain

• Nausea

• Addiction

• Stroke Recovery

• Labor Induction
