Electroacupuncture for Respiratory Health: Supporting Asthma and COPD Management
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are among the most common chronic respiratory disorders in the world. Asthma affects more than 350 million people globally, yet more than half of patients struggle to achieve adequate control with current medications. COPD currently affects over 300 million people, causing progressive airflow limitation and significant. Conventional therapies - such as inhaled corticosteroids, bronchodilators, and oxygen - remain foundational, but many patients seek complementary approaches that support symptom management, improve quality of life and potentially slow disease progression. Electroacupuncture (EA) - an evolved form of traditional acupuncture -... Read more...
Microcurrent Therapy for Postpartum Recovery & Pelvic Health

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any new therapy. Childbirth is a profound biological event. During a vaginal delivery the pelvic floor muscles stretch up to 250 % of their resting length. In many women this results in weakness, scarring or altered neuromuscular control. Up to one in four women experience postpartum conditions such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pelvic pain or sexual dysfunction. Recovery peaks at four to... Read more...
Electroacupuncture vs Dry Needling: What’s the Difference and When to Use Each?
One thing we’ve noticed is that many people - including patients and even some professionals - often confuse electroacupuncture with dry needling. The confusion makes sense: both therapies use thin needles, both aim to relieve pain and muscle tension, and both are performed in medical or therapy settings. But the science, philosophy, and application behind them are very different. Why does this matter? For someone dealing with chronic back pain, tension headaches, or sports-related injuries, the right choice can mean faster recovery, longer-lasting results, and fewer relapses. Without clear information,... Read more...
Microcurrent Point Stimulation: Benefits & Science
In recent years, more people - especially those dealing with chronic pain, stress, or aging concerns - are turning to alternative therapies that promise results without heavy medication or invasive procedures. That’s where microcurrent point stimulation (MPS) is gaining traction. Whether you’ve heard about it through a physiotherapist, acupuncture clinic, or even cosmetic wellness forums, MPS is becoming a buzzword across multiple fields: pain relief, scar tissue management, sports recovery, and even anti-aging treatments. But what exactly is it? And how does it work? This guide breaks down the science... Read more...
Electroacupuncture for Cancer Treatment Side Effects: Supporting Quality of Life
Cancer treatment can be tough - not just on the disease, but on the person going through it. Many patients tell us that while chemotherapy and radiation are lifesaving, the side effects can sometimes feel overwhelming. Nausea, pain, and fatigue are common hurdles that make it harder to stay on track with treatment and enjoy everyday life. That’s where electroacupuncture (EA) comes in. At Pantheon Research, we’ve been designing professional-grade electroacupuncture machines and devices since 1982, trusted by clinics and researchers worldwide. EA uses a gentle electrical current through acupuncture needles... Read more...

Is Electroacupuncture Safe?
People who pursue electroacupuncture may worry about the risk of electric shock or other injuries of that nature. Fortunately, electroacupuncture is an extremely safe technique which makes use of an extremely small current during treatments. The current used is far too small for anything more than a tingling sensation. There are a general class of contraindications that  are considered by the doctor who uses electroacupuncture. As these are taken into consideration, electroacupuncture is very safe.  Devices are regulated for safety by strict FDA guidelines for safe manufacturing and design, in... Read more...
Does Electroacupuncture Work?
Manual acupuncture versus electroacupuncture Since the introduction of EA, studies have found that analgesic effects of EA are greater and more effective than manual manipulation, and that manual acupuncture and EA appear to stimulate different CNS areas. An fMRI study of normal adults found that stimulation with EA at a frequency of 3 Hz on LI4, Hegu, produced fMRI signal increases in the precentral gyrus, postcentral gyrus/inferior parietal lobule, and putamen/insula, whereas manual needle manipulation of the same point produced prominent decreases of fMRI signals in the posterior cingulate, superior...
