Electro-Acupuncture
(EA)
EA generates similar
results to TENS, the only difference is that acupuncture needles are used
to directly stimulate or manipulate into the muscles, tendons and/or ligaments.
It elicits a much stronger effect than the conventional TENS, thus pain
reduction is of longer duration.
EA can be used for:
- Acute injuries
and chronic pain
- Muscle spasm
- Trigger points
- Swelling/Oedema
- Inflammations such
as tennis elbow, shoulders
and tendinitis
- Skeletal fractures
