LASER ACUPUNCTURE CANBERRA
Capital Complementary Therapies Centre provides laser acupuncture at our clinic in Braddon, Canberra. Laser acupuncture is a needle-free approach in which low-level laser light is applied to selected acupuncture points. Treatment is individually planned following consultation and assessment.
WHAT IS LASER ACUPUNCTURE?
Laser acupuncture uses low-level laser light to stimulate selected
acupuncture points without inserting acupuncture needles.
The acupuncture points selected and the duration of treatment vary
according to the individual assessment and treatment plan.
Laser acupuncture may be considered for people who prefer a needle-free
approach to acupuncture.
WHY DO PEOPLE CHOOSE LASER ACUPUNCTURE?
Some people choose laser acupuncture because they are uncomfortable with
needles or would prefer a non-invasive form of acupuncture point
stimulation.
Whether laser acupuncture is appropriate depends on the individual
circumstances and reason for seeking treatment.
Your practitioner can discuss whether traditional acupuncture, laser
acupuncture or another approach may be more appropriate following
assessment.
