Acupuncture

The effects of acupuncture are multiple: pain relief, resorption of inflammation, acceleration of the tissue regeneration process, etc.

It is also possible to perform acupuncture with a laser. This has several advantages, even if the laser is less commonly used in practice: it is inexpensive, completely painless and leaves no marks. The effects are similar to those of traditional acupuncture.

The laser is used in the same way as needles and there are several models with different characteristics.

Acupressure is a popular variant of acupuncture, which is performed without needles. As a substitute, finger pressure, elbow pressure, foot pressure, etc. are used depending on the desired effect on the acupuncture point.

However, the number of points that can be stimulated by acupressure is reduced in comparison with the use of the needle. The lower precision of the acupressure process limits it. Acupressure can be used to treat common ailments and prevent organ weaknesses.
