What is laser acupuncture?

The laser emits photons which increase ATP production in the cell thus increasing cell regeneration and tissue repair. The laser has anti-inflammatory effects on the body and decreases edema.

Laser acupuncture is used to treat

  • musculoskeletal conditions including carpel tunnel syndrome and neuropathy, paralysis in stroke and other paralytic conditions such as Bell's Palsy.
  • non-healing wounds of diabetes
  • acute injury, among others.

Fernandes Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine encourages you to explore this largely unavailable treatment option by contacting us to discuss how laser acupuncture can be effective for your condition.
