What is Electroacupuncture?
Integrating traditional Chinese acupuncture therapy with contemporary electrical stimulation technology, Electroacupuncture involves applying electrical currents to specific acupoints on the body. Through neuromodulation, we are able to alter nerve activity through the targeted delivery of an electrical stimulation. This form of therapy activates your sympathetic nerve fibres, releasing endorphines and helping to reduce inflammation and increase mobility.
What is Dry Needling/IMS?
Deeper needling techniques, such as dry needling, reach the muscle layers, influencing the surrounding area of muscle fibres, circulatory system, and nervous system. When dry needling is applied to your muscles and tissues it can decrease tightness, increase mobility, and reduce pain. When a trigger point is released your muscles will relax, allowing fresh blood flow, sending nutrients into the cells to help return them to a healthy state.
