Laser Acupuncture
Photo-bio-modulation.
Laser acupuncture is versatile
Laser acupuncture offers a needle-less approach to pain relief and facilitates the healing process for muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries.
Its versatility extends to treating a wide range of conditions, with its application not limited by a definitive list.
This modality is especially well-suited for individuals with needle-phobia, children, those taking blood-thinners, and situations involving swelling or inflammation.
Biological Effects of Low Level Laser Therapy
Background Information
At this wavelength, it does not produce heat so as to cause tissue injury. Hence, this laser (LLLT) cannot be used for cutting, ablation or vapourising, such as required for hair, mole or tattoo removal.
The Science Behind
Light is absorbed by a mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome-c-oxidase (COX) within the cell, to generate electrons, leading to the production of energy packets called ATPs. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) provides the energy for gene synthesis and chemical reactions ultimately leading to beneficial effects such as cell proliferation, tissue regneration and wound healing. Chronic pain improves with suppression of inflammation.
Practical Applications
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been shown to have pain relieving, anti-inflammation and bio-stimulation effects.
These effects can lead to pain relief, nerve growth, decreased swelling and recovery from muscle, tendon, ligament and nerve injuries.
This LLLT treatment has been used for open wound healing, TMJ dysfunction (temporomandibular joint), muscle strain and other soft-tissue injuries.
Further advances in the future is expected to LLLT being used for serious diseases such as stroke, heart attack and degenerative brain diseases.

What Clients Say
I am most impressed with the outcome and look forward to sending some of my patients to obtain relief from their chronic pain through Dr Amit Kumar and Accurelief.
I had six electro-acupuncture treatments with Dr Kumar over about nine weeks. Even after one treatment the pain was reduced, though it did return after a few days. But after six treatments the pain has more or less gone, I'm sleeping well and I've even started going to the gym, which had become impossible for me.
I can't recommend Dr Kumar's clinic enough.
I was very sceptical to try at first because all previous types of pain relief had not really targeted specific area pains .
Dr Amit Kumar is truly professional in his work and certainly knows where to put those tiny needles , his professional approach puts your mind at ease also.
I still have one more session left out of seven in total but the benefits of this treatment are far superior to previous.attempts .
I attend treatment at the Newcastle location area on a Sunday at present , convenient for me and easy free car parking .
The benefits of this treatment have got to be better than taking painkiller tablets ?
