Laser Acupuncture

Laser Acupuncture is the use of light on acupuncture points to facilitate healing. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) influences the body on a cellular level. It has an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and biostimulating (encourages cells to restore and regenerate) affect on the body. 

Low level laser is widely researched and used in other countries for a wide variety of conditions, from treatment of pain to gum disease and hearing disorders. 

At Points and Pathways Acupuncture LLLT is sometimes used as part of a treatment at no extra cost. It is a totally painless alternative to acupuncture with needles and has no negative side affects. 

Though LLLT is not currently FDA approved, Points and Pathways Acupuncture uses it as part of ongoing investigational research.

Please see the research library at www.healinglightseminars.com for a list of conditions treated and a comprehensive research library.
