Electro-Acupuncture in Jupiter
At Lighthouse Acupuncture & Wellness Center we offer Electro-Acupuncture (EA), a modern advancement of traditional acupuncture.
This technique uses gentle electrical currents applied through acupuncture needles to enhance stimulation, creating a deeper and longer-lasting therapeutic effect than manual acupuncture alone.
Electro-Acupuncture is often recommended for conditions involving chronic pain, nerve dysfunction, inflammation, or muscle tightness. By improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and activating the body’s natural repair mechanisms, EA can accelerate recovery and deliver results that standard acupuncture sometimes cannot achieve on its own.
Your Evaluation Comes First
Every patient at Lighthouse AWC begins with a one-on-one evaluation. This allows Dr. Lisa McCoog to determine whether Electro-Acupuncture is appropriate for your condition and to design a customized plan of care.
In most cases, EA is integrated with other services in our clinic, such as traditional acupuncture, dry needling, or ATP Resonance BioTherapy® to provide a comprehensive, results-driven approach.
What To Expect With Electro-Acupuncture
Time Commitment
When performed alone, Electro-Acupuncture sessions typically take 30–45 minutes, making it easy to fit into your weekly schedule.
Course of Care
The number of treatments depends on your condition, its severity, and how long it has been present. Acute problems may respond within a few visits, while chronic or complex cases may require 2–3 sessions per week over several months.
Once progress is achieved, many patients shift into a maintenance phase with monthly tune-ups to sustain results.
The Process
After fine, sterile needles are placed at specific acupuncture points, a mild electrical current is applied. Patients often notice a rhythmic pulsing in the muscles being treated.
This steady stimulation encourages blood flow, calms overactive nerves, and helps reduce pain and tension.
Potential Outcomes
With consistent treatment, Electro-Acupuncture can provide significant relief and in some cases, a complete absence of symptoms, even in conditions that have persisted for years.
Common Questions About Electro-Acupuncture
Who Is A Good Candidate?
EA has been studied extensively and shown to influence pain pathways, muscle activity, and nerve function.
It can be especially helpful for patients with chronic pain, neuropathy, sciatica, arthritis, or muscle stiffness that hasn’t responded to other methods.
How Does It Feel?
Most patients describe a gentle tapping or pulsing sensation where the current is applied. It isn’t painful, and many find it relaxing once the treatment begins
When Will I See Results?
Response time varies. Some patients notice changes after the first session, while others improve gradually over several weeks. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
How soon will I see results?
Individuals respond differently to acupuncture based on several factors, including age, health condition, duration of the condition, and whether they have any coinciding health factors.
Some will experience immediate relief, while others will notice improvements gradually over the course of their treatment plan. We will discuss goals and expectations for treatment during your initial consultation.
Is Electro-Acupuncture Covered By insurance?
Electro-Acupuncture is not typically covered by insurance, and in cases where coverage exists, it is rarely sufficient to address the full scope of care.
At Lighthouse Acupuncture & Wellness Center, we operate as an out-of-network provider, which allows us to design treatment plans around your needs, not insurance restrictions.
Upon request, we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement
