About this episode

The episode explores microcurrent therapy's role in acupuncture practice and its benefits for injury recovery and performance enhancement.

Sports medicine isn’t just about elite athletes. Many of the same principles apply to everyday patients recovering from injuries, surgery, chronic pain, and repetitive strain. As practitioners, we’re always looking for ways to support healing while working with the body’s natural recovery processes. In this conversation, I sit down with Laura Christiansen to explore microcurrent therapy and its role in acupuncture practice. We discuss the differences between traditional electroacupuncture and microcurrent, why more stimulation isn’t always better, and how gentle electrical currents may support healing, tissue repair, and cellular energy production. We also explore the relationship between fascia, meridians, ATP production, injury recovery, and nervous system regulation, alongside practical strategies for integrating microcurrent into clinical care. Supporting recovery isn’t always about pushing harder. Sometimes it’s about giving the body the resources it needs to repair, restore, and return to function more effectively.
