Acupuncture Science
Traditionally acupuncture treatment involves gaining a local twitch response called Deqi (the subjective sensations felt by the patient during an acupuncture treatment). A modern innovation called Electroacupuncture (EAC) creates this same response with a much gentler and continuous application. EAC is combined with adjacent and distal points, offering the highest standard of care available. The following is a explanation of how acupuncture works and examples of what it treats.
Effects of Electroacupuncture on Muscle:
Improve muscle contraction, and muscle inhibition. Tissue repair. Promotes blood and lymph circulation. Increases oxygenation and elimination of waste by-products. Anti-spasmodic effect on myalgic cords and trigger points which aids in creating a lengthened, efficient muscle. Effects of Electroacupuncture on Tendon: Increases local perfusion and tendon repair. Stimulation of myo-tendinous junction signals brain to modulate the contractile tissue. Tendons conduct electricity, so its corresponding muscle will be stimulated as well. The three Major benefits of Electroacupuncture over manual acupuncture: 1. Anti-inflammatory effect:
