LASER ACUPUNCTURE :-

In order to stimulate acupuncture sites, laser acupuncture uses non-thermal, low-intensity laser irradiation. In comparison to needle acupuncture or any other traditional kind of acupuncture, it is regarded as a safer pain-free alternative with fewer side effects and more benefits. Individual laser acupuncture sessions last less time than sessions using metal needles, which can dramatically shorten treatment times. The portable devices used during a laser acupuncture session provide a practical, inexpensive, and efficient form of treatment. Numerous variables, clinical indications, and upcoming research are taken into consideration before performing any laser acupuncture.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Laser acupuncture does not involve any use of physical penetration of skin. However, it is still unclear how non- thermal, low-intensity laser irradiation stimulates acupressure points. Skin's complicated optical properties result from its multilayered, inhomogeneous, and anisotropic structure. Additionally, incident light often decreases as it passes through skin in an exponential and wavelength-dependent manner due to scattering and absorption, Additionally, the amount of light penetration and scattering is influenced by power output and energy dosages. Furthermore, light penetration is unpredictable and challenging to measure due to individual differences in skin pigment, thickness, and placement on the body. Light transmission through skin is constrained by the absorption of ultraviolet rays and some visible light wavelengths (380–625 nm) by haemoglobin and melanin, respectively. 10 Contrarily, because they are less readily absorbed, visible red light and infrared radiation (625–1000 nm) are typically utilised for LA. The amount of light penetration and scattering is also influenced by the wavelengths, power outputs, and energy dosages.

BENEFITS:-

Due to its non-invasive nature, laser acupuncture may be a more successful therapy option for individuals who are afraid of needles, are young or elderly, or both. When a low-light laser is employed, most individuals feel nothing, however some experience slight tingling or touching sensations. This kind of procedure can lower the risks of organ piercing, infection, or a certain kind of haemorrhage. Multiple acupoints can be treated at once utilising multichannel laser therapy. Additionally, if the patient is pregnant, extra care should be taken, such as avoiding shining the laser directly on the foetus. For some patient populations, LA provides significant advantages over traditional acupuncture that make it a desirable therapy choice.
