ABSTRACT:
A method for healing a wound of a patient using an electrical stimulator and acupuncture needles is provided. The method includes the step of positioning a plurality of acupuncture needles coupled to the electrical stimulator substantially around the wound. The next step includes applying a current to the acupuncture needles positioned substantially around the wound. The first half of the treatment, a current is applied through the needles until a stinging sensation (or pain) is felt by the patient. Halfway through the treatment, the current is increased until a stinging sensation is again felt by the patient. At least four acupuncture needles are substantially positioned around the wound and alternating the polarity of the needles. The needles are further separated by one-half to two inches from the wound.
