Electrical Healing Tools

Here's a breakdown of some supportive tools:

Ion Pumping Cords (IPCs)
These are passive, non-powered cords that connect two acupuncture needles using alligator clips and a one-way diode. They help draw out "excess" energy from one area and nourish areas that feel depleted, restoring harmony in a very subtle and natural way. This method is often used in Japanese acupuncture to support deep energetic balancing, especially in cases of trauma, scars, or stuck emotional patterns.

Dolphin Neurostimulation (Dolphin MPS Therapy)
This handheld microcurrent device delivers gentle electrical impulses directly onto acupuncture points or trigger points without needles. It’s especially helpful for pain relief, scar tissue, fascia release, and calming the nervous system. Think of it as a modern acupressure tool with a nervous system reset button. It’s excellent for sensitive patients, or those who may not prefer traditional needling.

Electro-Acupuncture (E-Stim/Electric Stimulation)
This technique uses a small electrical current delivered through acupuncture needles placed in specific points. It helps stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve chronic pain or muscular issues. The sensation is usually a gentle tapping or pulsing—never shocking or uncomfortable.

What’s the Difference?

Subtle vs. Stimulating: Ion Pumping Cords move energy passively and subtly—ideal for sensitive systems. Electro-acupuncture and Dolphin are more stimulating and active—ideal for chronic or stubborn conditions.

Needles vs. Non-Needles: Dolphin is needle-free. IPCs and Electro-Acupuncture both require needle placement to work.

Traditional vs. Modern: IPCs stem from Japanese meridian theory, while Dolphin and Electro-Acupuncture blend modern bioelectric therapy with ancient wisdom.
