 What is E-Stim or Electrostimulation?E-stim, short for electrostimulation or electroacupuncture, is a modern technique that combines traditional acupuncture with electrical stimulation. This method enhances the effects of acupuncture by using small electrical currents, providing additional therapeutic benefits. Dr. Zamora will incorporate e-stim into the treatment as needed for each patient, enhancing treatments for nerve disorders, chronic pain, and more. How E-Stim WorksIn traditional acupuncture, fine needles are inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and balance energy flow, known as "Qi." E-stim takes this a step further by attaching electrodes to the needles. These electrodes deliver gentle electrical pulses to the acupuncture points, enhancing the stimulation and potentially leading to more effective treatment outcomes. Benefits of E-StimE-stim in acupuncture offers several potential benefits:
Applications of E-Stim in AcupunctureE-stim is used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
What to expect during an E-Stim SessionDuring an E-stim acupuncture session, the practitioner will insert acupuncture needles as usual and then attach electrodes to these needles. The intensity of the electrical current is adjustable and is usually set to a level that is comfortable for the patient. Patients may feel a mild tingling sensation, but it should not be painful. Safety and ConsiderationsE-stim is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. However, it is not suitable for everyone. Patients with pacemakers, seizure disorders, or heart conditions should consult with their healthcare provider before undergoing E-stim acupuncture. Dr. Zamora has completed continuing education units (CEUs) in electrotherapy (e-stim) to improve patient treatments. What are patients saying?“Great acupuncturist! I came in an acute episode of back and hip pain and had immediate relief. Probably a good 25% after the first treatment. I like that she specializes in these areas as well.

 What is a frozen shoulder? Frozen shoulder, scientifically referred to as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition marked by significant pain and makes it hard to lift your arm. This happens when the tissue that surrounds the shoulder joint becomes inflamed, resulting in stiffness and discomfort whenever you try to move your arm. This disorder arises from inflammation of the connective tissue capsule encasing the shoulder, leading to considerable difficulty and discomfort when attempting to move the arm. How can acupuncture help? Acupuncture is a healing method that uses very thin needles. These needles are inserted into specific points on the body, mainly around the shoulders, arms, and hands. Dr. Zamora applies a gentle and effective technique based on traditional Chinese practices. With her experience, she can relieve muscle tightness, helping people move more comfortably. This method also improves blood flow in these areas, which helps healing and reduces inflammation. Many individuals find they can move their shoulders more freely and feel more flexible.
