Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture is an advanced form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture, where mild electrical currents are passed through acupuncture needles to enhance therapeutic effects. This technique combines traditional acupuncture with modern electrical stimulation, intensifying the activation of nerves, muscles, and meridians, promoting faster healing. and is available at Pearl of Health in Melbourne and Macedon Ranges.

Electroacupuncture works by stimulating nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, triggering the release of endorphins, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters that help relieve pain and regulate bodily functions. The electrical impulses mimic natural nerve signals, improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and enhancing tissue repair. It also activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, regulating hormones and immune responses.

Electroacupuncture is effective for a variety of chronic and acute conditions, including:

• Pain Management – Assists back pain, arthritis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and migraines
• Neurological Disorders – Helps with nerve damage, stroke recovery, Bell’s palsy, and neuropathy
• Muscle & Joint Recovery – Supports sports injuries, muscle tension, and post-surgical healing
• Fertility & Hormonal Health – Aids in IVF support, PCOS, endometriosis, and erectile dysfunction
• Mental Health & Stress – Balances anxiety, depression, insomnia, and PTSD

Electroacupuncture enhances traditional acupuncture by delivering stronger, deeper, and longer-lasting results, making it an effective treatment for various pain, neurological, and hormonal disorders.
