In some conditions Electro-stimulation, or Estim may be indicated. Estim can be added to the needles to create an electric current that can cause muscle contractions and stimulate the tissue. Using an Estim unit may effectively treat painful tendons, ligaments, nerves, bones, and fascia.

The electrical frequency helps to release certain chemicals in the central nervous system that help to reduce pain and make positive changes in the body. Acupuncture along with Estim can increase the efficacy of your treatment.

The low-frequency waves help to increase blood flow to the injured or inflamed muscles, which can help speed up the healing process.
