Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture is the application of electrical current to acupuncture points, channels, or regions of the body. Frequencies specific to the treatment are chosen and run for a set amount of time through the body via acupuncture needles. Ranging frequencies signal to the nervous system to release certain neurotransmitters for various actions and functions. While the therapy was developed less than 100 years ago in China, its progression is ongoing.
