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.
It’s 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
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is the application of a laser light beam to promote tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. The laser beam used for this purpose is of 660nm wavelength, which stimulates biological reactions. It leads to increased cell growth, wound healing, suppression of inflammation, tissue regeneration and repair.
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, wound healing and tissue regneration. Chronic pain reduces 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, decrease 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
As a practicing Orthopaedic Surgeon I requested my sister to consult Dr Amit Kumar who specialises in Pain controlling methods. He was most professional and did a sterling job with acupuncture which relieved 80% of her neuralgic pain.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.
Having suffered muscular and nerve pain down the left hand side of my back for more years than I care to remember, the electropuncture has been amazing. I have tried every type of massage, but gained no relief. From the very first session, I could feel the difference. Amit is such a gentleman, explaining what he is doing and what impact it will have. Thoroughly recommend 👌
I had several sessions to attempt to alleviate chronic knee pain. I had already had a full knee replacement on my left knee, and didn't want to repeat this if possible on my right! 5 months later and I am still pain free! I will happily go back again if any top ups needed. It has made such a difference to my life and mental health.
I had been experiencing severe shoulder pain for several months when a friend recommended Dr Kumar's pain relief clinic to me. I was suffering from disrupted sleep and was very restricted in what I could do with the affected arm. Physiotherapy wasn't helping at all.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 attended Acurelief for persistent lower back pain which was interfering with my ability to get on with life and all the things I enjoyed like walking and dancing. I had a 6 session course and almost immediately from the first sessions, I felt the pain had eased. After 6 sessions, the pain was almost gone and only niggles from time to time. The chronic pain has gone. Dr Kumar is very professional and the clinic in Sunderland is very professional and comfortable with excellent customer care. I would recommend the clinic to anyone looking for pain relief.
My wife said to try electro acupuncture as I have been suffering various pain from neck/shoulders/back and feet for over 2-yrs now ? I have seen NHS physio , NHS GP doctors , podiatrists /chiropractors and sports injury people to try and fix my pain ? some of it helped but not as much as the electro acupuncture that Dr Amit Kumar can treat you with .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 ?Post by Mark Henderson 22/04/2024
