Tong Ren Electrical Therapy
Electrical stimulation is a Western technology commonly used in physical therapy. The TENS machine uses low voltage electricity to stimulate muscles and tendons. Some small TENS are used to stop the pain from muscular injury. This tiny machine can be carried on the body. The difference between the physical therapist’s and the acupuncturist’s approach is the connection. The physical therapist uses rubber electrodes, some use the self adhesive TENS electrodes and others use the rubber electrodes with conductive gel. Both of these electrodes conduct with the skin. When the low voltage of electricity is passing through the skin from the rubber electrodes, the muscle will jump with the current of frequency from the TENS. This is electrical stimulation to the muscle. Later, the rubber electrodes add a magnet becoming rubber magnetic electrodes. This method uses electricity and the magnetic field together.
In acupuncture, using the lead wire from the TENS connects with the acupuncture needles immediately. This technique uses needle stimulation and electrical stimulation at the same time. It is much stronger then using the rubber electrodes and has more of a healing effect. Most patients believe in the TENS from physical therapy but not acupuncture, even though they use the same machine. That is from their educational background not their common sense. In modern acupuncture many acupuncturists like to use this method. Especially for treatment of muscle tightness and tendon problems, this technique can release tension.
In the last twenty years, many energy healing machines have emerged on the market. However, most of them are “TENS” machines. Each healing machine has a miracle healing result with its miracle advertising. Yet how many of them last long on the market? The difference between each machine is the volume and frequency of magnetic electricity. The miracle is not from the frequency and volume, it is where the stimulation point is.
