Electroacupuncture is the usage of electrical current connected to
acupuncture needles.
Most frequently, electroacupuncture is most frequently used for pain &
paralysis. It is seldom used for digestive disorders, insomnia,
anxiety, or headaches.
I do not use electroacupuncture very often. When I do, it is
microcurrent (millionths of an amp) instead of milliamps (thousandsth
of an amp). I recommend it for Bells Palsy, certain post-stroke
paralysis & numbness, and broken bones.
Typically, I'll have 2 or 4 needles connected to electricity and start
with the lowest setting. This level is unnoticeable to the patient.
After a few minutes, I'll adjust it upward. Unlike most
practitioners, I'll seldom go over 50% even if the patient is
comfortable at higher levels.
It is forbidden to hook a positive lead on one side of the spine and
the negative on the other. It is also forbidden if the patient has a
pace maker, ICD, or similar implanted device. Patients who have steel
rods or implants should not receive electroacupuncture. It may cause
mineral deposits to form on them. Those with newer implants and
titanium rods are potential candidates.
