DEVICE

laser acupuncture

The parameter setting of 810nm wavelength laser acupuncture device in 1) ear were irradiated with a 4mm probe, adjusted to Nogier A frequency for acute treatment, and the pulsed mode was irradiated with an emission frequency of 200mW for 10seconds, each acupoint provided 1 joule of energy with total of 12joules,and 2) myofascial trigger point were irradiated with a 10mm probe, adjusted to Nogier C frequency for muscle treatment, and the pulsed mode was irradiated with an emission frequency of 500mW for 20 seconds, each acupoint provided 5 joule of energy with total of 50 joules, providing a total of 62 joules of one intervention session.
