Electroacupuncture is capable of doing amazing things!!

Taiwanese researchers discovered acupuncture triggering stem cell release healing damaged organs naturally. Scientists at China Medical University found that electroacupuncture at specific meridian points stimulates bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into circulation, which then migrate to injured organs and promote tissue repair. This mechanism explains acupuncture's therapeutic effects through measurable biological processes rather than placebo.

Traditional Chinese medicine has used acupuncture for thousands of years, but Western medicine dismissed it as placebo due to lack of biological mechanism. Taiwanese researchers using advanced imaging and cellular tracking discovered that needle stimulation at specific points triggers measurable stem cell mobilization—providing the first clear biological explanation for acupuncture's effects.

Electroacupuncture (needles with mild electrical current) at ST36 (Zusanli point) and GV20 (Baihui point) causes a 300% increase in circulating stem cells within 24 hours. These mobilized stem cells express homing signals drawing them to damaged tissues—injured liver, heart, kidneys, or brain—where they differentiate into organ-specific cells and release healing factors. It's like acupuncture triggers the body's internal repair dispatch system.

Stroke patients receiving electroacupuncture within 48 hours of stroke showed 40% better functional recovery than those receiving standard care alone. Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers. Heart attack survivors demonstrated improved cardiac function. The mechanism is entirely biological—traced stem cells from bone marrow to damaged organs. Skeptical Western physicians are reconsidering acupuncture given this mechanistic evidence. We're discovering that ancient healing practices work through sophisticated biological mechanisms science is only now capable of detecting.

Before You Try Dry Needling: What You Should Know.

Dry needling is becoming more popular for pain relief, muscle tension, and sports injuries. While it can be very effective, what truly matters is who is performing it.

Dry needling involves inserting solid filiform needles into muscle tissue near sensitive structures such as nerves, blood vessels, and organs. This means training, experience, and safety protocols are critical.

Licensed acupuncturists receive 3,000+ hours of formal education and supervised clinical training, with a strong focus on:

• Advanced needling techniques

• Detailed anatomy and neurovascular safety

• Clean Needle Technique (infection control)

• Orthopedics, pain science, and biomedicine

• Both traditional and biomedical acupuncture approaches

For licensed acupuncturists, needling is not a short course or add-on skill — it is the core of our profession.

When dry needling is performed by a licensed acupuncturist, patients benefit from:

✔️ Extensive needle-handling experience.

✔️ Higher safety standards.

✔️ Precise and intentional technique.

✔️ Lower risk of complications.

✔️ A comprehensive, whole-body approach to care.

Dry needling can help, but only when it’s done correctly and safely.

Before you try dry needling, ask: Who’s holding the needle?

Choosing a provider with deep, formal education in needling makes a difference in both safety and results.

If you are at a kid’s party and have the chance to scale this wall… PLEASE think twice before proceeding!!
One family member and one patient with severe Achilles/calf injury from this innocuous looking wall. Both of the injured are strong, fit individuals. The leg flexibility this requires is way more than what the average adult has. This “wall” should be accompanied by stern warnings!!!
