Electroacupuncture Stimulates Stem Cells to Repair Tissue
ElectroAcupuncture is the application of low current electricity to acupuncture needles inserted in specific points. This method of treatment is widely used by acupuncturists for many conditions including (but not limited to) injury, arthritis, or joint damage. In my experience Electroacupuncture (or E-Stim) is highly effective at amplifying the effects of the acupuncture for tissue repair and pain. I have treated many patients with joint damage this way successfully and have even had delighted patients cancel scheduled surgery. Maybe this is why:
In this recent study led by the Indiana School of Medicine, evidence was revealed that demonstrated how electroacupuncture stimulates the brain to promote and facilitate the release of stem cells into the bloodstream to actually repair the damaged tissue! Their finding were published this year, March 16, in the Journal Stem Cell. Read more about it here:
