What is Acupuncture? 

Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese medical practice dating back 2,500 to 3,000 years, involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and balance the flow of energy, known as Qi. Rooted in the belief that disruptions in Qi can lead to various health issues, acupuncture is widely used to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and address diverse ailments. In modern times, a contemporary adaptation known as medical electrical acupuncture has emerged. 

What is Medical Electric Acupuncture? 

Medical electric acupuncture integrates traditional acupuncture with electrical stimulation, enhancing therapeutic effects. After inserting fine needles into specific points, a low-frequency electrical current is applied, aiming to amplify the stimulation and provoke a more robust response from the body’s natural healing mechanisms. This innovative approach is particularly beneficial for addressing acute and chronic pain conditions, neurological disorders, and musculoskeletal issues. The addition of electrical stimulation enhances blood circulation, stimulates nerve activity, and releases endorphins, providing a more comprehensive and potent therapeutic experience compared to traditional acupuncture alone. Dr. Legg performs medical electrical acupuncture to offer a holistic and effective approach to health and well-being.
