Laser Acupuncture And Low Level Laser Therapy

Laser Acupuncture & Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is painless so it is a great alternative to needles with patients who are needle phobic, anxious , or have a low level of pain tolerance.

The practitioner places the laser above the specific acupuncture point and activate the laser until it delivered the desired amount of joules.

Laser acupuncture does not imply any needles nor discomfort. This is one of the biggest advantage of performing acupuncture with low level laser therapy.
