Therapeutic laser technology is rapidly coming out of its infancy, holding the potential to become a powerful form of healthcare in its own right, side-by-side with chiropractic, traditional Chinese medicine and physiotherapy, etc. In many ways this reflects the emerging new paradigm currently taking place in our very understanding of health one that is expanding from a purely bio-chemical model of healing towards a more comprehensive picture, including our growing awareness of energy-based principles of life itself.
At the same time, there still exists a degree of skepticism, both amongst the general public as well as with many healthcare providers themselves, regarding the validity of light-based technologies. This may be partly due to the fact that while laser therapy has already been accepted by many practitioners in Asia and Europe--some as early as the late 1970s--it has only started becoming popular in North America in the last decade or two. Even though there is sufficient data currently available on the use and effectiveness of photo-bio-modulation, there remains a degree of confusion among practitioners regarding what lasers actually are, how they operate, what they can treat, and perhaps most importantly, how to implement them into their clinical practice.
Although there are certainly a growing number of books and manuals on laser therapy and acupuncture, many of them may be either overly specialized for many or else too generalized for others to be useful in clinical application.
In comparison, Laser Quantum Acupuncture and Therapy offers a more multi-disciplinary approach to laser application, helpful in integrating therapeutic laser into various interrelated disciplines, including chiropractic, acupuncture, naturopathy and physiotherapy, etc. Reflecting an integration of both ancient and modern systems combined, and based upon decades of clinical research and experience, this work provides a solid foundation for easy and efficient implementation of laser therapy into one's clinical practice, regardless of their field of expertise.
The text is supported by over 130 images, as well as various tables, all of which help to easily depict and utilize recommended ways of addressing various conditions and regions of the body, including its internal structures. The 3-dimensionality of the photographic images also allows for the simultaneous showing of the internal organs and the meridians with their acupoints, providing a true-to-life effect that supports a more realistic and accurate grasp of point location compared to simply using the more traditional 2-dimensional drawings.
