We are pleased to announce that we are now offering a needle-less approach to pain relief, and other imbalances that cause a decrease in overall health and well-being!

Electro-Acuscope and Electo-Myopulse are old therapies that use micro current of electricity to cause a response in the body.  It is not TENs, but uses electricity like TENs. Instead of interrupting the perception of pain, it actually repairs the cell membrane which then results in healing of tissue.  Also, because the current is below the sensation threshold, it is either not felt, or felt as light “tapping”. It does not feel like burning or tingling like TENs or the electric stimulation at the chiropractor’s office.

There have many studies and research on how this works, and how well. In treating depression,The Electro-Acuscope works on the uptake and dispersement of serotonin and dopamine, which is how antidepressants are supposed to work. Except there are no side effects. What is noticed, in both my patients and test subjects, is a sense of relaxation, well being and improved energy.  Sleep is improved, and in many cases, pain is relieved or eliminated. Neuropathies are resolved much faster and better than with acupuncture; for me to say that says a lot! People are handling normal or increased stressors better.

This is because of the effect on the autonomic nervous system. Think about the “fight or flight” response. When we are busy or stressed, we switch to the sympathetic mode of increased awareness, more energy output, and hopefully increased alertness. The problem comes in when we forget or are unable to switch back to the parasympathetic, or relaxed mode. So we stay on high alert when it is not necessary. After awhile our bodies get fatigued, and start to wear down and out. Over time we see illness and disease; myofacial pain, depression, insomnia, digestive disorders and so on.

The Electro-Myopulse uses  micro current to heal damaged tissue at the cell level. When there has been trauma, and residual pain, it is because of scar tissue in the muscle, fascia and under the skin. The current adjusts to the amount of impedance or resistance, and ultimately results in tissue repair. There is no pain with this. Again, there is published research on people, tissues and cells on how this works.

One of the biggest questions with this therapy is, “If this is so good,(or BECAUSE this worked so well), why doesn’t mainstream Western medicine use it?” I’m not sure, but my guess is the answer is related to money and influence. If people got better with this, they would not need as much if any drugs. How then would the Pharmaceutical companies succeed?

There would not be the need for surgery, or at least not as many. Did you know that the U.S. has the highest rate of back surgeries in the world, but the outcome is no better than our counterparts in other countries? That means that instead of having proportionately higher improved outcomes, the amount of people that are helped is no better than those in other technologically advanced countries. So why is this happening?

It is our commitment here at the Acupuncture Clinic to provide a safe, effective and affordable health care option. You should not “have to learn to live with” your pain or distress. There is nothing written anywhere that we are supposed to accept pain and emotional suffering because the modern medical community does not know how to fix it. So, if you have problems that do not respond well with other therapies, or you are reluctant to try drugs or surgery, call for a free consultation. The bottom line is, it can’t hurt, and it just might help!
