Laser Acupuncture or Photobiomodulation Therapy in Gatineau
Laser acupuncture, also known as photobiomodulation is a great alternative to classical acupuncture especially for patients who are uneasy with needle acupuncture.
Laser acupuncture, because it is painless, is ideally suited to treat small joints and areas rich in lymphatic tissue. Studies at the University of Graz, Austria have consistently shown that laser acupuncture is as effective therapeutically, if not more effective in many cases, as needle acupuncture. Acupuncture Immumed only uses lasers that are Health Canada approved and those which represent the latest in medical laser technology. Our lasers are state of the art, completely safe with zero side effects and most importantly therapeutically extremely effective. Read more about laser acupuncture here.
