Why Electroacupuncture? EA has unique therapeutic effects and differences from manual acupuncture:

  • Provokes strong pain control responses through release of the brain’s own opioid neurotransmitters (such as endorphins, dynorphins, enkephalins), as well as up-regulation of serotonin, a critical mood stabilizing biomolecule.
  • Interrupts pain/spasm cycles, and can facilitate the gains in joint range-of-motion crucial to physical rehabilitation.
  • Stimulates proprioceptive nerve fibers, resulting in muscle re-balancing and re-education of hypo-functioning or injured muscles.
  • Normalizes local blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
  • Speeds up cell metabolism, thus stimulating tissue repair and regeneration.

Electroacupuncture is safe for long-term use and without known side-effects. Properly-applied, electroacupuncture is no more uncomfortable, and is better tolerated by some patients, than manual stimulation of needles to bring about pain relief.

Electroacupuncture safety:

  • Cautions and contraindications
  • Patient education and informed consent
  • Safety protocols and management of adverse events

Electroacupuncture parameters and settings:

  • Amplitude: milli- and micro-
  • Frequency
  • Mode
  • Duration
  • Polarity and lead placement

Electroacupuncture protocols for common orthopedic and neurologic conditions of the spine and extremities:

  • Neck and back pain, including radiculitis and stenosis
  • Shoulder girdle injuries, including rotator cuff tendinitis and bursitis
  • Elbow, forearm, wrist and hand pain, including carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Hip and buttock pain, including sciatica
  • Knee and thigh pain, including patellar tendinitis
  • Calf, ankle and foot pain, including plantar fasciitis
  • Complex regional pain (reflex sympathetic dystrophy, causalgia) and phantom limb pain syndromes
  • AOM patterns: qi and blood stagnation; bi syndromes; yin xu with heat or fire; dampness and fluid accumulation; phlegm, wind-phlegm, turbid phlegm, and wei and zhong feng syndromes; and systemic cold and deficiency of yang, jing, qi or blood.

Cupping has unique benefits for musculo-skeletal pain that cannot be obtained any other way. Cupping decompresses and stretches myofascial tissues away from the underlying structures (instead of pushing them into bones, like massage).

Beyond "set and forget" static cups, advanced orthopedic cupping can provide more powerful therapeutic effects for neuro-musculoskeletal pain and disability, including:

  • Precisely and actively engaging, stretching and mobilizing the underlying muscles, tendons, fascia and joints
  • Reducing painful trigger points and adhesions
  • Triggering muscle relaxation reflexes
  • Draining areas of inflammation and lymphatic congestion (heat, qi and blood stagnation, and damp-phlegm accumulations)
  • Drawing fresh blood through tight, adhered or restricted muscles, removing wastes and bringing new oxygen and nutrients to injured area
  • Decreasing pain-inhibition to movement
  • And restoring normal muscle-tendon strength and flexibility, and joint range-of-motion

Passive cupping

Beyond "sliding," passive cupping employs a variety of specific mobilization techniques using both directed suction, and passive movement of the affected limbs.

Active cupping

Guiding patients through precise movements with cups in place over specific myofascial tissues combines therapeutic exercise with suction for synergistic benefits.

Passive and active cupping requires the acupuncturist to understand the optimal types and directions of myofascial tissue mobilization for specific body regions and injuries.

"Wet" cupping

involves cups applied to body regions following the use of a 7-star, lancet or 3-edged needle, in order to enhance the movement of stagnant body fluids that trap heat, dampness and phlegm (inflammation) and obstruct the inflow of new, fresh blood.

Class Topics:

Safety and standards of care

  • Cautions and contraindications
  • Patient education and informed consent
  • Manual pump vs. fire cupping
  • Risk reduction protocols and management of adverse events
  • Cup disinfection and re-use
  • Post-cupping protocols

Passive and active cupping: therapeutic mechanisms, indications and protocols for specific body regions

  • Regional muscle hypertonicity/spasticity
  • Paraspinals
  • Forearm
  • Shoulder girdle
  • Gluteals
  • Quadriceps, IT band and hamstrings
  • Calves

“Wet” cupping: therapeutic mechanisms, indications and protocols for specific conditions

  • Acute sprain/strain injuries
  • Bursitis (shoulder, hip, knee, calcaneal)
  • Adhesive capsulitis
  • Tendinitis and tendinosis
