Electro-acupuncture is relatively new compared to the traditional ancient acupuncture treatments that were born in China 4,000 years ago.

The electricity passes between two needles, covering more area than the tradional approach, creating a tingling and numbing sensation, it's an odd sensation but not unpleasant!
