Electro-stim is the name applied to both needle and non-needle techniques. Electro-acupuncture is the application of electricity to needles that have been inserted in the skin. It has been found especially effective for neuromuscular disorders.
Because the application of electric current enhances stimulation, TCM practitioners often use it to replace manipulation of needles.
