Acupuncture/Ultrasound

Acupuncture

When needles are inserted into specific points, so-called acupuncture points, impulses are transmitted via thin nerves from the treated area to the spinal cord and beyond to the brain. In response to stimulation, the central nervous system begins to increase the production of different substances, such as endorphins, the body’s own morphine, which, among other things, helps reduce pain. In addition, the blood circulation increases in the tissue where the needles are located. In acupuncture with electricity, an Electroakupuncture device is connected which sends different kinds of electrical impulses.

High-intensity ultrasound also produces a thermal effect that increases blood vessel formation in the area.
