Modern Electrical Acupuncture in Fort Worth, Texas

At Sanders Chiropractic and Acupuncture we have combined acupuncture with chiropractic care to provide the best healing response possible. Dr. Sanders studied acupuncture in 1994-1996, through the Acupuncture Society of America and under Dr. Richard Yennie. Dr. Yennie is a world renown chiropractor and acupuncturist who has taught doctors all over the world including the world famous Bejing Hospital in Bejing China.

In traditional acupuncture there are actually over 30 methods to use. Fine needles are the primary method used to stimulate acupuncture points on the body or ears (auricular) to treat over 2000 listed conditions in acupuncture text. Acupuncture points are selected to tonify, sedate or transfer bioelectric energy to related organs, bones or soft tissues. Acupuncture can be used to treat symptoms or root causes.

Modern acupuncture does the same as traditional only with electro-therapy instead of needles, and within seconds instead of minutes. So there are no needles and time is drastically reduced. Most patients love not to have to lie down for 10-40 minutes with needles, while others think it’s not acupuncture if you don’t use needles. We offer both methods.                              

For modern methods an electro-therapy device with one or more probes is used to deliver a tolerable low frequency electrical current (tapping or stinging sensation) or a micro current (you cannot or should not feel a microcurrent) to a specific acupuncture point. Studies at UCLA, OU medical school, and the National Institute of Health found that electro-therapy to acupuncture point releases endorphins and otherneurotransmitters to enhance the healing process.

The method we use is a single probe to stimulate auricular points (ear points) that relate to the condition, organ, or system for which we are treating. It is safer, as or more effective, less expensive. Most patients love saving money and time.  

Combining Chiropractic and acupuncture allows us to gently adjust the spine to remove nerve interference allowing the body to heal itself and balance bioelectric energy which also allows the body to heal and gives our patients the best and quickest chance to improve and stabilize.
