Laser Acupuncture With Needles
What Is Laser Acupuncture Therapy?
Laser Acupuncture is a mode of Therapy that has the added benefits of treating not only the site of injury and/or pain, but also the whole body.
The National Institute of Health (NIH) defines Laser Acupuncture as the use of low-level laser beam to stimulate an acupuncture point, and can be used with needles for more effective relief.
How Do Therapeutic Lasers Work?
Therapeutic medical grade lasers heal tissue ailments by emitting billions of photons of visible and/or invisible laser light deep into your body's tissues. Tissue naturally contains a protein strand called chromosphores and cytochromes located in the mitochondria of a cell, which have the unique ability to absorb laser light energy and transform it into chemical energy for the cell. This chemical energy is utilized by the tissue to significantly accelerate the healing process and reduce pain naturally.
How Long Have Lasers Been In Clinical Use?
Medical Lasers have been in clinical use since 1960.
