This is a common acupuncture procedure. Electro Acupuncture is an acupuncture technique that, comparatively speaking, has only recently come into use. As with traditional acupuncture, needles are inserted on specific points along the body. Using small clips, the needles are then attached to a device that generates continuous low voltage electrical pulses. These devices are used to adjust the frequency and intensity of the impulse being delivered, depending on the condition being treated. Electro Acupuncture uses two needles at time so that the impulses can pass from one needle to the other. Several pairs of needles can be stimulated simultaneously, usually for no more than 30 minutes at a time.

Fresh local fish is something we pride ourselves on here at Lost Colony Tavern, and we have some delicious options for you all week through Labor Day Weekend! For this week’s Local Catch Fish ‘n Chips, you have the option of fresh Dolphinfish (mahi-mahi) or fresh Swordfish, both plucked from the sea this morning and provided to us by our pals at Etheridge Seafood at the Port of Wanchese on the south end of the island, just eight minutes’ drive from the restaurant. Both selections are absolutely delicious, and you’ll rarely ever taste a fresher dish o’ fish. Idalia be damned…we will carry on through all week and weekend here in Downtown Manteo!

Sorry guys, we'll be closed due to wind and rain is blowing through the dinning area. We will see ya tomorrow.
