THE REALITY OF NEEDLE-FREE ACUPUNCTURE AND LASER

Today, laser technology is used in acupuncture, as in every branch of medicine. However, we must immediately point out that laser is not a technique that can always be applied in every case and can be replaced by needle acupuncture. The points determined in both ear and body acupuncture should be either stimulated or suppressed according to the clinical picture of the case. Since the laser light has the feature of stimulating the applied acupuncture point, if it is applied to the point that needs to be suppressed, an effect opposite to the required pharmacological effect will be achieved and the patient will be cured. It is not possible, in fact; Undesirable effects may occur.

If we list the diseases for which laser acupuncture is effective:

• Painful muscle contractions and stiffness (myalgia, fibromyalgia, etc.)
• Waist and neck hernias
• Joint calcifications
• Allergic skin diseases (urticaria, eczema etc.)
• Psoriasis (partially effective)
• Sinusitis

Apart from the above diseases where it is truly clinically effective, laser acupuncture is effective There is no other disease. A technique or technology that can replace needle acupuncture has not yet been found. Just as vaccines given to babies and children are administered with needle syringes and a technique that can replace it has not yet been found; The same goes for needle acupuncture. Laser acupuncture technique is of course great if acupuncture points need to be stimulated. However, if acupuncture points need to be suppressed, then a silver needle must be activated. If you send laser light to the ear acupuncture point where the silver needle needs to be inserted, you will create an undesired clinical effect by stimulating that point. .Because laser light causes sodium (Na+) ions outside the cell to enter the cell in the intercellular fluid (intercellular-extracellular fluid) at the cellular level; It increases the "resting membrane potential" in the cell membrane and ensures the stimulation of that cell, that is, its biological functions. It sends laser light to the group of cells that need to be suppressed in terms of clinical effect. If you do so, you will create such an effect and instead of decreasing the cell functions, you will increase them.As a result, the patient will get worse instead of getting better.
