5 Reasons To Try Laser Acupuncture

Written by Chris Eddy

Laser therapy

Laser therapy or Laser acupuncture is a 100% painless 100% non-invasive therapy that involves low-intensity laser light to reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration and reduce pain.

1.   Pain free non-invasive treatment: There is no heat or pain felt at the location of application, in fact, no sensation is felt at all.

2.   Effective: Over 3,000 studies that prove a positive effect including one meta-analysis in the lancet journal showing laser acupuncture well outperforming pain medication for long-term pain relief.

3.   Reduced Dependency on Medication: Pain medication can be a very useful panacea. However, it is not something you should or is designed to be relied on. Prolonged use of certain pain medications can damage internal organs and lead to addiction.

4.   Safety: As laser acupuncture is low powered, non-invasive and has been tested extensively over the last 50 years, there are no side-effects related to treatment. Occasional soreness is felt the following day, but this is often associated to healing changes in the tissue. This is very rare and would not last longer than 24 hours or be a pain threshold higher than the original pain complaint.laser chris eddy melbourne

5.   Reduces Pain & Improves Mood:Most patients notice an improvement within minutes of a laser session. The power dosage of laser is timed by the laser computer to deliver the exact amount of laser light required to reduce pain. The stimulation of anti-inflammation and pain relief naturally raises endorphins and improves mood from gentle pain relief.

Laser therapy is commonly used to help quit smoking and pain reduction and promote tissue healing.
