Electroacupuncture is a variation of traditional acupuncture that involves the application of a small electrical current to acupuncture needles inserted into specific acupoints on the body. This technique combines the principles of acupuncture with modern technology to enhance the therapeutic effects of treatment.

During an electroacupuncture session, fine acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin at strategic acupoints, just like in traditional acupuncture. However, in electroacupuncture, electrodes are attached to the needles, allowing a low-frequency electrical current to be passed between them. The electrical stimulation can vary in intensity and frequency, depending on the individual's condition and treatment goals.

Electroacupuncture can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, digestive issues, and gynecological disorders.
