What is Electro-acupuncture?

Electro-acupuncture was developed in its modern form in China in the 1950s. It is considered to be the greatest natural pain-relieving tool in the history of medicine.

Effective Pain Relief

Electro-acupuncture is a modified form of acupuncture that uses two needles attached to electrodes, similar to a tens unit, however the electrodes are attached to the needles instead of the skin. A mild electrical current passes between the needles during treatment, providing constant stimulation on the needles. This is done for 20-30 minutes and feels like a very gentle tapping sensation and is not painful.

My shoulder issues include joint deterioration, tendonitis, arthritis and a labrum tear. I couldn’t perform daily activities without pain and sleeping was extremely difficult. . . After three acupuncture sessions with Diane my shoulders feels 70% better and I can finally sleep and perform daily activities again. - Anonymous

I’m a 65 year old man who has never seen an acupuncturist. Before seeing Diane, I suffered occasionally with severe sciatica. . . One treatment with Diane and I experienced complete relief by the next morning. - Anonymous
