Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice based on the concept of qi (pronounced "chee"), which is believed to be vital energy that flows through pathways in the body called meridians. By stimulating these acupuncture points, the practice aims to restore the flow of qi, alleviate pain, improve physical and emotional well-being, and address various health conditions. It is often used to treat common ailments such as chronic pain, headaches, stress, and digestive issues, among others. Although it is rooted in ancient practices, it can be successfully integrated into modern healthcare approaches.

E-stim acupuncture is a modern variation that combines the principles of acupuncture with electrical stimulation. Acupuncture needles are inserted, electrodes are connected, and low-frequency electrical current is applied.

E-stim promotes a deeper muscle relaxation, increasing blood flow and providing a more pronounced analgesic effect, and is often used to treat chronic pain, muscle tightness, and to improve overall function and recovery.

There is a 90 minute minimum for e-stim services.
