The current is usually 40-80 volts. However, no current is transmitted through the body\u2014 there is only enough stimulation for the patient to feel a slight pulsating sensation. A typical treatment session usually lasts between 10 and 20 minutes.&nbsp;<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2764\ufe0f <strong><em>The Benefits of Electro-Acupuncture<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>      While electro-acupuncture may be used as a component of almost all acupuncture treatments, it has outstanding results regarding treating neurological diseases,&nbsp;chronic pain, spasms, and paralysis. Also, holistic sports medicine commonly uses electro-acupuncture for injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>      Electro-acupuncture has a more significant effect than a TENS machine for several reasons. Firstly, a TENS machine is placed on the skin&#8217;s surface and electrified, but electro-acupuncture benefits are piercing through the skin and going deeper into the tissue. The skin has a natural electrical resistance, as does bone and fat. However, muscles and nerves have less resistance allowing the electrical current to have a more significant effect when it travels through the needle and into the muscle tissue. Secondly, Different types of electrical current can be run through the acupuncture needles. For example,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><em>Micro-current<\/em><\/strong> is a millionth of an amp that is too low to cause a muscle twitch or nerve response but has specific profound effects on a cellular level. Different electrical currents can be used for particular purposes, such as repairing connective tissue tears, muscle strains or ligament\/tendon damage. &nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><em>Milli-current<\/em><\/strong> is also used in electro-acupuncture and TENS machines. Instead of affecting the cells, it has broader effects on the muscles and fascia. Still, again only electro-acupuncture can get deeper into the tissue into the affected area. Milli-current is best used to strengthen muscle, improve local circulation and relieve pain.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">   <strong><em>Who should not get Electro-Acupuncture?&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>      Electro-acupuncture is contraindicated for pregnant or patients who experience seizures. Also, patients with pacemakers should not receive electro-acupuncture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">In conclusion, like its traditional complement, electro-acupuncture produces no significant discomfort while providing considerable symptom relief \u2014 sometimes in a single session, but more frequently for multiple sessions. The acupuncturist can evaluate your current symptoms, medical history and state of health to determine whether you're a good candidate for this particular healing technique.<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electro-acupuncture is the term used to apply a pulsating electrical current to acupuncture needles &#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[154],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-acupuncture"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1625"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1625\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1865,"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1625\/revisions\/1865"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/acupuncturehuahin.com\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
