Electro-medical acupuncture is a modern twist on traditional dry needling that we use in Afon House Chiropractic Clinic. EMA uses tiny electrical currents that are passed through delicate needles. It's safe, gentle, and used to enhance the natural healing process in the body.
In our chiropractic clinic, we often integrate EMA to help with:
Reducing chronic pain
Decreasing muscle tension
Improving blood flow & nerve function
Supporting recovery from injuries
Calming the nervous system
The added electrical stimulation helps amplify the therapeutic effects of standard dry needling — it is especially useful in treating back pain, sciatica, neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis and even tension headaches.
Is It Effective?
Yes! 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.
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. Call the clinic on 01722 820400 to book!
