Acupuncture without needles--the latest technology in the field of pain management and musculo-skeletal rehabilitation

Movement of energy through the body by stimulating acupuncture points can be accomplished in many different ways, including needles, pressure (acupressure), light, and electricity. I offer both classical acupuncture and needleless techniques using photonic and micro-current stimulation.

This new, powerful, safe, FDA-cleared light therapy device has been used as a powerful light therapy tool by many medical professionals around the world, mostly in Europe, and lately in the US. Over 40 years of independent worldwide research has documented the therapeutic effects of light therapy.  The photonic stimulator directs a beam of photons on traumatized nerves and acupuncture or trigger points and changes their electrical potential. This results in increased blood flow, and improved nerve function, as well as bringing oxygen and nutrients into the injured site and helping to remove waste products. Pain and numbness disappear as the healing progresses and the range of motion increases. This type of therapy is often referred to as "cold laser", "biostimulation" or "low-level light therapy" and is used to treat symptoms associated with conditions such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, sciatica, sport injuries and many more. 

Dr. Len Saputo, M.D., a founder of Health Medicine Forum, and a world tennis champion from owns a photonic stimulator and has used it successfully for  painful conditions such as acute sprains, strains, tendonitis, and conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, plantarfascitis, etc.

Electrodes used for Pain ManagementMicro-current resembles our own body’s current and works on a cellular level (TENS unit often used in physio-therapy looks similar but only masks pains). Healthy tissue depends on a normal flow of electrical current throughout the body. Electrical balance is disrupted when the body is injured at a particular site, causing the electrical current to change course. The use of micro-current over the injured site realigns this flow and thus aids tissue repair--resulting in increased healing and recovery, as well as blocking any pain signals in the area. Micro-current stimulation speeds up healing of injuries by increasing oxygenation of tissues, providing targeted nourishment to tissues and cells, and by detoxifying tissues. Orthopedic and plastic surgeons have used this form of therapy for non-healing fractures and scar reduction.

Micro Plus - Microcurrent Electrical Nerve StimulatorIf you are interested in purchasing your own portable unit (the size of a wallet), contact me at 415-420-3750. They are very economical and quite handy to have ($150 per device-for unlimited number pf treatments compared to $60 or more for a massage session, physical therapy, chiropractic visit, etc.).  Many of my patients have them at home for treatment of a variety of  mostly neuro-musculo-skeletal issues for themselves and their families. The micro-current device could be dispensed only by a qualified health practitioner.
