What it is<\/p>

What is electroacupuncture?<\/h2>

Compared with standard acupuncture<\/a> (which dates back thousands of years), electroacupuncture is a relatively young technique. Although it is based on classical Chinese acupuncture, it was born in France in the 19th century and was used from the start to treat painful conditions such as sciatica.<\/p>

It involves applying an electrical stimulus<\/strong> of low voltage, with varying intensity and frequency, between two acupuncture needles. The needles are connected to a device called an electrostimulator<\/strong>.<\/p>

Unlike standard acupuncture, the needle is not manipulated by hand: instead, the frequency, intensity and waveform of the electrical stimulus are adjusted.<\/p><\/div>\n
