Laser Acupuncture

Acupuncture is part of an integrated system of primary health care known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This form of medicine has had an uninterrupted history dating back thousands of years in China.

Low level (therapeutic) laser acupuncture has been used in Australia as a form of acupuncture treatment since the 1970s. Laser acupuncture is essentially the same as traditional acupuncture except that a laser is used instead of the traditional needles. In treating with therapeutic laser, Patricia stimulates the  acupuncture treatment points or acupoints  with a therapeutic laser instead of needle stimulation.

Laser in acupuncture therapeutics originated mostly from the European nations and is gaining in popularity due to it being non-invasive, does not hurt and has no infection risks.

This is great if you are not too keen on the idea of needles being inserted into the skin. Laser acupuncture can be used to help quit addictions such as alcohol and smoking and help to manage the withdrawal symptoms. The therapy uses low powered lasers which targets specific acupuncture points, selected because of their effect on endorphins and their ability to help the body to detoxify and heal. This is a totally pain free therapy.
