Electro-acupuncture is a powerful and increasingly popular modality that enhances traditional acupuncture with targeted electrical stimulation, offering exceptional results in pain relief, musculoskeletal conditions, neurological disorders, and more. This comprehensive course is designed for practitioners who want to integrate electro-acupuncture safely, effectively, and confidently into their clinical practice.

What sets this course apart is the calibre of its tutors. It is taught in different locations by two respected leaders in the field: Chris Davies, CEO of the Acupuncture Regulatory Authority, who brings a wealth of experience in clinical safety, professional standards, and applied electro-acupuncture; while our other teacher, Philip Wheeler, has drawn interest from leading UK neurologists for his pioneering work in bio-electric medicine and its role in healing and recovery.

The course combines practical hands-on training with clear, clinical reasoning—ensuring that you not only understand how to use electro-acupuncture, but also when, why, and with which protocols.

Whether you’re looking to expand your therapeutic toolkit or explore cutting-edge developments in the field, this course offers both depth and credibility.

You will need to hold a qualification in acupuncture that includes needling the torso, or be a current student in an acupuncture course and have already started your practical needling.
You must be 18 years or older and understand spoken and written English.
You must consent to giving and receiving acupuncture therapy.
