Research supports its use for pain relief and improved function. Studies show EMA can trigger endorphin release, reduce inflammation, and modulate nerve activity—often providing results where other treatments fall short.</p> <p><img class="xz74otr x168nmei x13lgxp2 x5pf9jr xo71vjh" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tf4/1/16/2728.png" alt="✨" width="16" height="16" /> Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn injury or looking to enhance your chiropractic care, electro-medical acupuncture might be the next step in your healing journey.
