Electro-Meridian Imaging (EMI)
Reveal Energy Imbalances. Guide Better Care.
EMI is a quick, non-invasive diagnostic method that uses electronic measurements to assess energy flow across your body’s acupuncture meridians. By identifying imbalances, our practitioners can tailor acupuncture or related treatments more precisely—improving outcomes for issues like pain, fatigue, or hormonal concerns.
Electro-Meridian Imaging (EMI)
Measure Energy. Map Imbalances.
Electro-Meridian Imaging (EMI) is a fast, non-invasive diagnostic technique used to assess energetic imbalances in the body’s meridian system. Originally developed as Ryodoraku in 1951 and modernized by Dr. John Amaro in the 1980s, EMI uses electronic readings from acupuncture source points to create a visual map of your body’s energy flow. This helps guide more effective acupuncture, laser therapy, or other holistic treatments.
