LASER ACUPUNCTURE

HIGH-TECH ACUPUNCTURE

Laser acupuncture combines the tried-and-tested treatment method of acupuncture and the most advanced developments in photomedicine, forming a type of therapy that has set a new, groundbreaking benchmark in Western and Far Eastern medicine.

TCM lasers replace acupuncture needles with low-energy laser beams! The principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and hence also the acupuncture points, remain the same. Stimulation with laser beams, however, constitutes a unique treatment method, as the modes of action of acupuncture can be perfectly combined with those of photobiomodulation with the aid of cold laser light.

Laser acupuncture with a laser pen – also called point laser – has been used in low-energy laser therapy (LLLT) for many years to stimulate acupuncture points. Stimulation with laser light triggers the same physiological reactions as the standard stimulation methods of needle acupuncture, electroacupuncture, magnetic acupuncture, and acupressure.

ADVANTAGES OF LASER APUNCTURE

• A method without pricking
  Many patients dislike the stimulation of acupuncture points with needles. Especially in the treatment of children, apprehensive patients, or animals, the use of laser acupuncture is the preferred method.

• Enables special acupuncture treatments that cannot be performed with needles
  The acupuncture laser allows for acupuncture treatments that cannot be performed with needles or only in a way that is painful for the patient.

• Flexible length of treatment
  Treatment times are variable and adjusted to the respective circumstances. They are often much shorter.

• Precise diagnoses – especially in ear acupuncture
  Point testing is precise, clear, and uncomplicated with the acupuncture laser. The auricular points that are particularly relevant for the therapy can be instantly located.

• Therapeutic laser with resonances
  A rhythm (frequency) is imposed on the laser irradiation in the therapy with resonances. Resonance therapy is based on the assumption that resonance phenomena increase the absorption of photons and give an additional boost to the photobiostimulatory effects of low-level laser therapy. Usually the term frequency-modulated laser therapy is used for this form of therapy. Well-known frequency series are Nogier, Bahr, and Reininger frequencies.

• Ear acupuncture
  Low-level lasers have not merely accompanied the genesis of modern ear acupuncture from the beginning, they have sometimes even been critically involved in its development. Paul Nogier, the founder of Western “auricular medicine” (auricle therapy), already employed laser pens over 40 years ago. At the same time that ever more advanced point lasers were developed, his diagnostic and therapeutic findings also became increasingly accurate.

• Laser acupuncture in combination with other complementary medical methods
  The effects of low-level laser therapy can be superbly combined with those of other regulatory medical methods.
