Low Level Laser Therapy and Laser Acupuncture
Modern Photonic Therapy is an evidence based healing practice founded upon the physiological principles and scientific concepts of the body's energetic meridians and their influence upon physiology. Modern Phonic Therapy (aka 3LT Meridian Therapy) utilizes various electrical and digital equipment to evaluate and stimulate specific points along the surface of the skin known as acupoints. The selection of appropriate acupoints for treatment is determined by scientific research, historical evidence, and universally accepted standards of care in contemporary medicine. The practice of 3LT Meridian Therapy does not include the insertion of needles or the use of acupuncture, yet obtains a similar or enhanced healing response utilizing photonic stimulation on the surface of the skin in the attempt to treat pain, dysfunction and both the symptoms and origins of the energetic patterns related to the expression of disease.

Low Level Laser Therapy - Light Therapy dramatically reduces musculoskeletal pain and inflammation as well as promotes tissue repair wherever the photonic-light therapy is applied. Specific wavelengths of near infrared and infrared light stimulation of acupoints can have profound effects on the body's healing response similar to acupuncture. This is not a heat treatment, the effects are photochemical. One of the primary actions is on mitochondrial production of ATP, potentially affecting any eukaryotic cell in the body. Photonic-Light Therapy has undergone over 1000 published laboratory studies and is already proven in over 100 successful randomized double blind controlled clinical trials (RCT's). These trials include osteoarthritis, tendinitis / tendinopathies and other sports injuries, back and neck pain, diabetic foot and venous ulcer wound healing.
