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.
How To Use K-Laser For Acupuncture
K-Laser is a Class 4 laser able to adapt its level of power to both application modes
1 - Scanning motion application for joints, tendons and muscles for examples. It requires high intensity power to treat large areas homogenously in just a few minutes
2 - Fixed point application for superficial or small areas such as acupuncture points or wounds. Typically, laser therapy only requires a few seconds of treatment per acupuncture points.
