Laser Therapy Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine
(Laser Acupuncture)

Laser acupuncture utilizes specific wavelengths of light to target acupoints along TCM meridians. Each wavelength penetrates tissues differently, influencing biological and energetic functions:

• Red Lasers (620–750 nm): Penetrate deeply to stimulate tissue repair, improve blood circulation, and alleviate pain. Commonly used for chronic conditions and soft tissue injuries.

• Yellow Lasers (570–590 nm): Impact deeper tissues and are particularly beneficial for stress reduction, blood pressure regulation, and some ophthalmic and dermatological conditions.

• Infrared (IR) Lasers (>750 nm): Reach deep tissues to promote wound healing, alleviate neuropathic pain, and enhance immune response.

• Blue Lasers (400–455 nm): Effective for their antimicrobial properties, tissue cooling, and benefits in photodynamic cancer therapies.

• Green Lasers (520–560 nm): Used for body contouring, managing benign prostatic hyperplasia, and certain ocular conditions.

1. Non-Invasive Pain Relief: Laser acupuncture effectively reduces pain without the discomfort of needles, making it ideal for needle-phobic patients.

2. Enhanced Cellular Function: Photons from lasers stimulate mitochondrial activity, promoting faster cell repair and regeneration.

3. Stress and Anxiety Management: Laser stimulation of specific acupoints, like PC6 (Neiguan), promotes endorphin and serotonin release, offering natural relaxation and stress relief.

4. Improved Circulation and Healing: By boosting microcirculation, laser therapy accelerates wound healing and tissue recovery.

5. Condition-Specific Benefits:

   • Overactive Bladder: Laser therapy alleviates symptoms and improves quality of life.

   • Insomnia: Enhances sleep quality by modulating autonomic responses.

   • Metabolic Health: Improves blood glucose, cholesterol levels, and reduces obesity-related parameters.

   • Neurological Disorders: Infrared lasers show promise in managing traumatic brain injury and neuropathic pain.

1. Laser Specifications:

   • Green Laser: 520–560 nm, corresponds to the Wood Element energetically linked to the Liver, Gallbladder and associated with Spring season.

   • Red Laser: 620–750 nm corresponds to Fire Element, energetically linked to the Heart, Small Intestine, associated and with Summer season.

   • Yellow Laser: 570–590 nm corresponds to the Earth Element, energetically linked to the Spleen-Pancreas, Stomach, and associated Late Season (last 14 days of the season).

   • White (Bright) Laser: >750 nm (IR) or <400 nm (UV) corresponds to the Metal Element, energetically linked to the Lungs, Large Intestine, and associated with Autumn.

   • Black/Deep Blue Laser: 400–495 nm (Blue) corresponds to the Water Element, energetically linked to the Kidneys, Bladder, and associated with Winter season.

2. Acupoint Selection:

   • Dantian Energy incorporates the Four Needle Technique, a comprehensive system to select acupoints based on balancing excess and deficiency in TCM patterns. This method identifies four key points: two to reinforce deficient elements and two to reduce excess, ensuring a holistic restoration of energy flow and harmony within the body.

3. Treatment Frequency:

   • Sessions typically last 28.8 minutes, aligning with the TCM concept of a micro-cycle of Qi flow through the 12 primary meridians. This micro-cycle, described in the classical text Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon), represents the movement of Qi 50 times within a day and night.

4. Safety:

   • Laser acupuncture is safe, with minimal adverse effects such as transient fatigue or tingling.

​

1. No Tissue Invasion: Avoids risks of infection or discomfort from needles.

2. Precision: Laser intensity and duration are easily controlled.

3. Wider Applicability: Suitable for patients with contraindications for traditional acupuncture.
