What is Electro Acupuncture Medicine (EAM)?

Electro Acupuncture Medicine (EAM) builds upon time-tested acupuncture principles by applying gentle electrical currents to inserted needles. This advanced technique amplifies the therapeutic effects, stimulating your body's natural healing processes more effectively than traditional acupuncture alone.

Improved muscle relaxation and reduced tension
Accelerated healing of injuries
Stimulation of natural pain-relieving endorphins
Improved circulation to treated areas
Potential reduction in inflammation
Support for neurological and muscular disorders
Fertility and reproductive health support

Chronic or acute pain (back, neck, shoulder, joint)

What Our Patients Say About Their Fertility Experience

My story starts here: older mom, son now 4 years going to be 5 years soon, trying to conceive for sometime with no luck so went to my regular OB. She checked FSH which was 75 and AMH <0.03. Got a phone call that I was entering "menopause" and may not conceive. I was referred to fertility specialist who said egg donor and natural conception chances <5%. What everyone ignored was that I was under severe chronic stress for 1 year and 1 year ago my FSH was 4. My fertility specialist disregarded it and said stress was irrelevant with such high numbers and that it was "natural progression" premature ovarian failure though I was still having menses and there is no such family history. So I started to do some research on stress and fertility (very strong correlation by way) and found Jose through American Board of Reproductive Accupuncture Medicine (only 4 in MA). And YES reproductive acupuncturists treat differently than general accupuncture for fertility. I had only missed 1 missed 1 menstrual cycle (that too related to stress and sleep deprivation.) I got my menses back after 2 treatments in 1 week. Got Day 3 Labs done through fertility specialist---FSH came down to 24 and AMH went up to <o.10. Okay granted these numbers are still a normal but HUGE improvement. My day 3 ultrasound showed only 1 follicle each ovary. But guess what!!?? POSITIVE pregnancy test after 4 weeks!! All my doctors were in shock. ...:) I continued the treatments until 12-13 weeks. Jose has been extremely professional, understanding and a miracle of hopes!! Thank you for everything you do. I know everyone's stories are different but there is HOPE if someone is ready to listen and really understand what's going on.

I can’t say enough positive things about Jose. From my first visit he was extremely personable, knowledgeable about fertility as well as many other questions I had for him. From my first visit with him I began to have positive changes in my body in regards to the fertility process. As I said he is extremely personable and comforting. I love that I can ask him anything about this process and disclose my fears and he is always knowledgeable and reassuring. My insurance covers part of my visits, and his office manager/wife was nice enough to take care of the paperwork for reimbursement for me during every visit. One less thing to worry about during this journey of life. In closing, I can’t possibly say enough positive things about Jose and his practice and expertise. I beyond highly recommend him to anyone considering acupuncture.

I went to Jose for about a year while struggling with infertility & doing fertility treatments. I really cannot recommend him enough. To be honest, ever since the initial phone call with Jose, I felt that he was more thorough & informative than most of my doctors were. Jose is very friendly, genuine, knowledgeable, & great at what he does.

As I sit here with my 3 mo old baby, I can confidently say that acupuncture played a huge role in the success of my pregnancy. I truly believe this was due to acupuncture calming my nervous system & preparing my body to successfully carry my baby. I 100% recommend Jose and cannot thank him enough!! - 5/01/2024

I got acupuncture with Jose to supplement my IVF treatment in April 2023. I started the treatment in early April and had my egg retrieval by the end of May. I started to see Jose after 4 failed IVF cycles from which we had zero PGT normal embryos. After the treatment with him, I had 24 eggs retrieved and we ended up with 2 PGT normal embryos from that cycle. In my previous cycles, I used to have around 18-20 eggs on the day of the stimulation. But never many of them made it to the retrieval day. In the previous 4 cycles, they retrieved 11, 4, 16, and 9 eggs respectively and we never had a normal embryo from those cycles. From those 4 cycles, we sent 4 embryos in total for PGT (1 embryo per cycle) and none of them were normal. After the acupuncture treatment with Jose, 24 eggs made it to the retrieval day, we got 4 embryos, and 2 of them were PGT normal. Jose’s treatment did wonders for me. We were shocked about this result. We are so grateful to him! His holistic approach kept me relaxed, positive, and excited for good results, and obviously helped the eggs to develop evenly at a similar pace, which is very important. We can’t thank him enough! Initially, my husband was very skeptical about acupuncture and generally about non-Western treatment options. But he is now so grateful that I insisted that we invest in acupuncture too. Your doctor too might be skeptical about acupuncture. However, a standard IVF treatment alone works rarely for many women.
Also, before Jose, I tried two acupuncturists for a few sessions. Because I didn’t feel much difference, I dropped it. However, after one session with Jose, I saw a big difference physically and mentally. - 5/01/2024
