Electro-Stimulation and Acupuncture needles:
While the risk of needle breakage during electro-acupuncture is very low, scientific research and data from Korean and Chinese sources indicate that electrostimulation should not be applied to needles 0.18 mm or thinner. During electrostimulation, these finer needles may be more susceptible to shaft fatigue, coating stress, and corrosion—particularly if the coating integrity is compromised. Although electrostimulation remains safe across a wide range of clinical scenarios, this precautionary notice aligns with international safety guidelines and supports the continued commitment to high standards of care and patient safety.
