History of the treatment

How does it work? What is its history?

Period of conventional treatment with electro-acupuncture is usually 10-20 minutes and hardly ever surpasses Half a time. The electric stimulus incitement is used in a few cases for more or less than an hour. The therapy should be longer when there is a difficult to treat condition or when related to neurological disorders.

During the period of stimulation, the affected person may already be adapted to the stimulus or to the incitement and this will generally happen after the first few minutes. Soon after there will be a constant decrease in reaction or response. To resume the sensation, the electrical output should be altered and adjusted in intensity and regularity.

The history of this type of treatment is also from China. With the traditional medicine, Electro acupuncture was designed and developed in 1934 as an expansion to the acupuncturists hand manipulation. This was developed as a helping tool for acupuncturist to be able to attend other patients and their illnesses. This helps the practitioners’ to attend to patients and stimulate properly without being fatigue.
