If you have always wanted to try acupuncture but are afraid of needles then this is the treatment for you. Tara uses a state of the art Scientific 3B laser pen, and as a fully trained, and practising acupuncturist she uses the same points that would be used during traditional acupuncture.
How does Laser Acupuncture work?
The physiological responses to Low Level Laser Therapy involve stimulation of the body's natural healing processes, optimising repair and helping to restore normal cellular function.
What happens in a treatment?
As with a normal acupuncture treatment, Tara will begin by taking a full consultation and medical history. She can give lifestyle and dietary advice at this point which may also help. Tara will then hold the laser pen over the points that need to be stimulated and let the laser do the work. It is quick and painless. As its less “strong” than TCM acupuncture, Tara may choose to use more points, 20 or so instead of the usual 12 points.
What can it treat?
All the things that normal acupuncture can treat, insomnia, pain, headaches, stress etc. It is particularly good for treating children or patients who are nervous or anxious.
