Infrared light Acupuncture
Infrared light acupuncture is a type of acupuncture that involves the use of infrared light therapy in addition to traditional acupuncture techniques. During an infrared light acupuncture session, a practitioner will use a device that emits low-level infrared light to target specific points on the body. The infrared light penetrates the skin and stimulates the acupuncture points, promoting healing and reducing pain.
Infrared light acupuncture is an effective treatment for a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, inflammation, and musculoskeletal injuries. Infrared light helps to increase blood flow to the affected area and promotes the body’s natural healing response.
