Although I have studied and practised acupuncture using needling technique. I soon revised my application with the use of LLLT with a special trigger point / ACU point locator built in to the laser probe. I found that not only was I getting similar results as using needles, but I also could treat the same points in nearly half the time , (this type of acupuncture has been used around the world for a few years now)

I have the highest regard for traditional acupuncture but in most cases in the programmes that I use, I simply find that the Laser Acupuncture gets the same results only quicker and is more customer friendly, (there are a lot of people out there that would try acupuncture if it weren't for the "needles")

So in conclusion, I would say if someone wants to experience and use traditional acupuncture on their condition, then that's great, but if they prefer to use laser acupuncture, that's also great ! I believe this is a "means to an end" of people being made more aware of alternative and complementary therapies, whichever way they choose, traditional or laser.

Whilst I do believe in our national health and western medicines, there are a lot of short falls, people should not forget that there are different ways to tackle their problems and it is all too easy to go to the doctor, take some chemicals and hopefully get better. Where as complementary and alternative therapists tend to look more holistically at a problem and root out the cause not just treat the symptoms, promoting also the use of homeopathic remedies. Remember it is only within the last year or so that acupuncture has been accepted within the NHS, this is after years of clinical trials and studies, which is ironic when one thinks about it, as acupuncture was around nearly 3500 years before our modern medicine !

• Unique Smoking Cessation program, ( featured on BBC TV, "Giving up" )
  for this very successful program I use nearly 40 acupuncture points which help reduce anxiety, stress, de-tox, raise endorphin levels. This takes about forty minutes, where as using needles in the same points can take me nearly two hours. So if you've tried every which way to quit smoking without success, don't give up,...... get rid of smoking, permanently , with Laser Acupuncture ! (contact for info' pack)

• De Stress and relaxation program
  this program with additional counselling and remedial therapy is extremely calming. I combine laser acupuncture points and traditional placement of the laser over tight and hyper-tense muscles, this releases trigger points and relaxes the muscles, culminating with a neck shoulder and back massage with essential oils. A physical / emotional release program to completely unwind !
  
  
• Mild depression program
  this uses traditional ACU-points with the laser, to de-stress and de-tox the body, combined with an increase in endorphin levels , it has the effect of "well-being" and can be quite uplifting. If the body feels good, then the mind will feel better ! Some counselling is also involved to help emotional release.
  
  
• Addictions Program
  This is similar to the smoking program combined with an individual therapy program to help combat; Obesity. Alcohol. Drugs. more intense counselling is involved, and a remedial program is set to assist and combat in any long term withdrawal effects, combined with a conscious desire to stop, this program will certainly play a major part in helping someone get "back on track."
