Electro acupuncture is the use of electrical stimulation into muscle or targeted tissue via acupuncture needles. This is obviously a modern development in acupuncture and may be useful when working with certain conditions and situations involving:
- Muscles that are either too tight and/or too weak (see motor point acupuncture)
- Joint painDisc injuries
- Injury to muscle, tendon, ligament or cartilage
- Nerve pain
Our Approach
At Village Remedies we specialise in distal needling and your first treatment will include an assessment and treatment via distal needling (away from the site of pain), this is used to both treat and diagnose your condition without any risk of further injury. Based on how you respond and only if appropriate we may use local techniques.
There is a classic saying in Chinese Medicine, ‘you don’t slap a crying baby’, In this case the site of pain is the crying baby. Therefore if we can get the injury to heal without having to risk further damage with local techniques we find we get a faster, more effective and safer result and we will always try that first.

Discover the benefits of electro acupuncture treatments
Though relatively new compared to traditional acupuncture, electro acupuncture has gained popularity for its ability to address various physical, mental and emotional health issues and conditions. Here are some of its advantages:
Pain relief and healing
Electro acupuncture may offer effective symptom relief against headaches, sporting injuries, neck pain and back tension. It may also be a suitable treatment for muscular strain, tendinopathy and ligament damage. The electrical stimulation may help boost circulation and help expedite the recovery of tendons and ligaments.
Healthier sleep patterns
Individuals struggling with insomnia and sleep disorders may use electro acupuncture to relieve associated symptoms due to its ability to harmonise the body’s natural rhythms. By soothing the mind and addressing imbalances, this treatment can help extend total sleep duration, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated in the morning.
Improved stress management
By targeting specific points on the body, electro acupuncture may stimulate mental relaxation, reset the stress response or help better regulate emotions.
Additionally, it plays a pivotal role in resetting stress response, leading to better emotional regulation.
