About Electro-Acupuncture Services
Electro-acupuncture builds on traditional needle therapy by attaching small electrodes to select acupuncture points and delivering gentle, low-level electrical currents. This continuous stimulation enhances energy flow (qi), boosts circulation, and provides a deeper, longer-lasting therapeutic effect than manual acupuncture alone. At Acupoint Holistic Health, Crista customizes each session’s frequency and intensity to your comfort and health goals—whether you’re seeking pain relief, stress reduction, or accelerated recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is electro-acupuncture painful?
You may feel a mild tingling or tapping sensation at the treatment points, but Crista adjusts settings to keep you comfortable. Most clients find it deeply relaxing once the session begins.
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients notice improvement after 1–2 visits, but we typically recommend a series of 4–6 weekly sessions for chronic or complex conditions. Your personalized plan will be outlined during your initial consultation.
How long does a session last?
Electro-acupuncture treatments generally run 45–60 minutes, including intake, needle placement, stimulation phase (20–30 minutes), and aftercare guidance.
Can I combine this with other therapies?
Absolutely. Electro-acupuncture pairs seamlessly with cupping, Tui Na massage, herbal formulas, or microneedling to address both internal imbalances and external symptoms.
Who shouldn’t get electro-acupuncture?
This treatment is not recommended if you have a pacemaker or certain electrical implants, are pregnant (first trimester), or have uncontrolled bleeding disorders. We’ll review your health history to ensure safety.
Will my insurance cover it?
