Laser Therapy

Laser acupuncture refers to the use of low level laser light instead of needles to stimulate the acupuncture points and energy meridians. It is a painless procedure for needle shy individuals, has deeper penetration, takes less time, and is highly effective for certain disorders. The Conditions more commonly treated with laser therapy include:

- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Lower back and neck pain
- Tendonitis (tennis and golfer’s elbow)
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle spasms
- Sports and soft tissue injuries
- Swelling and edema
- Plantar fasciatis
- Nerve function and repair
- Bone healing
- Wound healing
- Skin conditions
- Repetitive stress injuries
- Anti-aging

Whether light has a biological effect on tissues is not longer the question, but rather what are the ideal parameters for more effective healing outcomes. Therefore, research over the past twenty years has focuses on determining these factors. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that it is not the power output that is critical, as much as the specific wavelength and frequency of the laser bean for creating optimal penetration and absorption of photons into the targeted tissues.

In summary, Laser acupuncture is a non-invasive, pain free, safe method with minimal contraindications, FDA approved, simple to perform, cost effective and highly effective therapeutic modality.
