Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical technique which has been practiced for over 2000 years. It follows the ancient Chinese belief that the human body is a pathway of energy. When the body is healthy, the energy is perfectly balanced and flows freely throughout the body. When this balance is disturbed, the vital flow of energy in the body is blocked and needs to be released. This is done through acupuncture.
However what happens to those who are terrified of needles? I, for one am greatly uncomfortable in their presence. If like me you think it is a shame to miss out on such an effective treatment, don’t worry. A modern variant of acupuncture makes it possible to take this treatment without any needles.
What Is Laser Acupuncture
Laser acupuncture is a variation of the traditional acupuncture techniques. Instead of using very thin needles to pierce the skin, this technique uses a focused laser beam to stimulate the acupuncture points along the body and release the locked energy. It is, in effect, a gentle and effective treatment and unlike its traditional counterpart, it is a non-invasive procedure.
Laser acupuncture follows basic science. Cells in the body respond to the stimuli of light. The controlled laser beam therefore stimulates the cells to work in the same way as the needles in traditional acupuncture do; they unlock any blockages of energy and kick start the body’s self healing powers to restore balance and health.
Like traditional acupuncture, laser acupuncture too treats a wide range of conditions. It is effective in treating chronic backaches, headaches, migraines, sinus infections, fatigue, skin disorders, etc. However laser acupuncture is especially recommended for treating conditions that involve tissue damage and structural damage. The laser beam has a positive effect on such conditions and accelerates the repair and healing of tissues far more effectively. It is also very effective in treating addictions and in pain management.
Laser acupuncture is a highly accurate, pain free technique. It is also a natural healing procedure which ensures relief from very painful conditions with risk of side effects or skin and tissue damage. Through laser acupuncture your body is able to heal without any extra intake of medication. Laser acupuncture also rids the body of physical and mental tension, enabling you to relax.
It is essential that you seek out a trained and certified acupuncturist for your treatment. It may also be essential to introduce some lifestyle changes to enjoy the maximum benefits of your treatment.
