  • Electroacupuncture – Electroacupuncture can be used during acupuncture treatments and involves the use of mild electric stimulation at specific acupuncture needle points to potentiate the effect.

  • Laser Therapy – Also known as photobiomodulation, this process involves using light sources of specific wavelengths to promote wavelengths to provide pain/inflammatory relief and promote tissue healing.
