Electrical stimulation as an adjunct to acupuncture provides a pulsating, low-energy current to further enhance healing and repair for the body. It is especially effective with musculoskeletal conditions but is not limited to just this category of conditions. Warming the needles includes moxibustion and tiger warming. These techniques are perhaps older than acupuncture and heat specific points on the body either with or without needles in place. Acupressure is only supplied as part of the acupuncture therapy to promote relaxation and either prepare the person for therapy or to finish the treatment after needles.
Acupressure is the stimulation of specific points to promote therapeutic results.
