LASER Acupuncture
NEEDLELESS TREATMENT COMBINING ANCIENT WISDOM WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY
Laser acupuncture is a painless and effective treatment, ideal for individuals with needle phobias and for children, as well as for various conditions where needling may not be safe or appropriate, such as areas of skin inflammation or irritation. It’s also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), Cold Laser, Soft Laser, or Photobiomodulation Therapy.
Laser acupuncture is gaining popularity as research demonstrates the remarkable benefits of using focused light to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, alleviate pain, and address a wide range of health issues. Patients typically don't feel anything apart from the slight pressure of the laser pen tip on the skin.
"Cold Lasers" produce no heat, but affect the mitochondria in the cells and their metabolism. A professional quality, therapeutic infrared Laser directs light deep into the tissues, instead of using a needle to stimulate the area or point. The treatment time, power frequency, and dose are adjusted as necessary for the patient, the treatment aim, and the area of the body or skin being treated. By combining this science with traditional acupuncture theory, the effects of both can be enhanced.
​
Laser Acupuncture is effective for many of the same conditions as traditional acupuncture, although there are still some situations in which a needle is the recommended method.

There is no additional charge for Laser Acupuncture; my pricing is the same as standard acupuncture treatment.
