Coming soon!!! Electro-Acupuncture
When the Electric Current Kicks In: What to Expect

After the needles are placed, the acupuncturist uses a small machine called the 12c. Pro Advanced Electro simulator. This device sends gentle electric pulses through some of the needles.

Here’s what you might feel:

- A light buzzing or tingling sensation
- A gentle pulsing that comes and goes
- Small muscle twitches
- A heavy or full feeling in one area
- A bit of warmth or a humming sensation

It’s not painful; it just feels different. You can adjust the intensity of the sensation to what feels comfortable for you. If anything is too strong, the acupuncturist can quickly change it using our top electro-acupuncture stimulators.

Interesting tidbit: Some people might experience a strange sensation in a different area, like a buzz in their foot even if the needle is in their back. This happens because nerves are linked in interesting ways.

Wearing high heels makes you stand taller and feel prettier, according to experts. But you should not forget that your health is more important than anything, and few centimeters of height by way of heels might cause some serious health issues in the long run.

Foot & Ankle Load-Sharing Biomechanics – How Forces Are Dissipated During Stance

The foot is not a rigid lever but a progressive force-dissipation system designed to manage body weight during standing and gait. As shown in the image, axial body weight enters the foot vertically through the tibia and is then strategically redistributed across multiple joints rather than being transmitted as a single rigid column. This staged reduction in force magnitude is essential for shock absorption, joint protection, and efficient forward progression.

At initial contact, 100% of body weight is transmitted downward through the tibia into the talus. The talus acts as a central force distributor rather than a direct weight-bearing bone. Because it has no muscular attachments, its role is purely mechanical—redirecting vertical compressive forces into oblique vectors toward the calcaneus posteriorly and the midfoot anteriorly.

At the subtalar joint, this vertical force is split. Approximately 50% of the load is directed posteriorly into the calcaneus, while the remaining portion is transmitted anteriorly. The calcaneus absorbs this force through its large cancellous structure, functioning as a shock absorber during heel strike. This posterior load redirection reduces the magnitude of impact forces that would otherwise travel directly up the kinetic chain.

Simultaneously, the remaining ~50% of force is transmitted forward through the talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints into the midfoot. This anterior force redirection allows the foot to gradually adapt to ground contours while storing elastic energy within the plantar fascia, ligaments, and intrinsic musculature. Rather than collapsing, the foot elongates and spreads force over time.

As load progresses into the midfoot, force magnitude is further attenuated across multiple articulations. Each joint interface absorbs and redirects stress, preventing any single structure from being overloaded. This is why the midfoot acts as a mechanical “buffer zone” between the rigid rearfoot and the propulsive forefoot.

During mid-stance to terminal stance, the force is transferred toward the forefoot, where it is distributed across the metatarsal heads. By this stage, the original 100% vertical force has been transformed into controlled, direction-specific vectors that facilitate propulsion rather than impact. The windlass mechanism tightens the plantar fascia, converting the foot from a mobile adapter into a rigid lever for push-off.

When this load-sharing system fails—due to restricted ankle dorsiflexion, excessive pronation, rigid arches, or weak intrinsic support—the foot loses its ability to dissipate force gradually. As a result, higher impact loads are transmitted upward to the knee, hip, and lumbar spine, often presenting clinically as overuse injuries rather than localized foot pain.

The foot’s primary role is not just support, but intelligent force modulation. By dividing 100% of body weight into smaller, direction-controlled loads, it protects the entire lower-limb kinetic chain. Any disruption in this sequence turns normal body weight into pathological stress.

Sports massage helps the nervous system by shifting the body from a sympathetic ("fight-or-flight") state to a parasympathetic ("rest-and-digest") state. It reduces cortisol, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, and stimulates the release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. This reduces muscle tension, relieves pain, and alleviates anxiety.
Key Impacts on the Nervous System:
Activates the Parasympathetic System: By calming the nervous system, it promotes physical and mental relaxation, helping to alleviate stress and anxiety.
Reduces Stress Hormones: Regular massage reduces cortisol levels, directly impacting the body's stress response.
Releases "Feel-Good" Chemicals: The therapeutic touch increases dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, which improve mood and act as natural pain relief.
Eases Nerve Pain: It helps alleviate pain from muscle spasms and, in some cases, aids in the recovery of damaged, compressed nerve tissues.
Improves Mind-Body Awareness: It helps individuals reconnect with their body, reducing the "on edge" feeling and promoting better mental clarity and emotional resilience.
By reducing chronic muscle tension and calming the nervous system, sports massage supports faster recovery and improves mental well-being for both athletes and those with sedentary lifestyle
