Electro-acupuncture generally consists of hooking the needles up to an electro-acupuncture machine. There are many types of electro-acupuncture but they are generally done at no or very slight sensation (microcurrent or healing) or a more “moderate” sensation that doesn’t hurt(used for more pain relief or anti-inflammation). If done right, it won’t hurt. Sometimes, instead of needles, I will use electrode pads. I do that in anti-inflammation, TENS and FSM treatments.
With Electro-Acupuncture, you can do things that are not possible or not as effective with needles lone. Such as getting rid of inflammation or repairing partially torn tendons, etc. I have developed and perfected a technique that works like cortisone in getting rid of inflammation but doesn’t have the downsides of cortisone (you can do it as many times as needed instead of limited to three shots with cortisone) and uses electricity instead of chemistry. With FSM, I can treat things that I can’t with needles alone and if you are scared of needles, I can treat many things with FSM and not use needles at all. You won’t even feel it. I can also stop a degenerative condition with electro-acupuncture. No other acupuncturist knows how to do that unless I taught them or they read my book. But I am the one who figured out how. Taking advantage of my unique background and knowledge base. With my knowledge and the equipment available to me I can do things that most other practitioners (both Chinese and Western) can’t.
