Laser Therapy & Acupuncture for Weight Loss

Combined with diet and lifestyle changes, acupuncture and laser therapy are effective tools for weight loss. Treatments energize the body, maximize the absorption of nutrients, regulate elimination, control overeating, rebalance metabolism, and reduce anxiety. Acupuncture and laser therapy also stimulate the body to release endorphins, which have a calming and relaxing effect that makes it easier to deal with stress, frustration and anxiety that can trigger overeating and bingeing on fattening foods.

An acupuncture or laser therapy treatment program takes into account your present state of health and goals for losing weight, as well as the particular pattern of overeating and/or the digestive and health imbalances specific to you. For the average patient who is interested in weight loss, one treatment twice a week until they reach their goal is appropriate, followed by booster treatments once every week or every two weeks for an additional 3-4 treatments.

We work together with other health professionals to develop a powerful nutritional program that is aimed at rebalancing metabolism and stimulating healthy weight loss. You will be recommended herbs and foods aimed at promoting healthy digestion, energizing the body, normalizing metabolism and improving elimination of water, toxins, and waste products. A diet that is high in fiber and low in fat, with moderate amounts of low-density carbohydrates and low-fat protein is usually the best choice to adopt.

Other important tools that can aid in weight loss are stress reduction techniques and a moderate exercise regimen. There are various stress reduction methods worth considering, including breathing exercises, Tai Chi, yoga, meditation or biofeedback. And since the goal of a weight program is not only weight loss but the maintenance of that loss, an exercise program that suits you and is enjoyable to you is the best one to choose.

An effective weight loss program includes nutritional counseling and exercise as well as a commitment to make permanent lifestyle changes. When combined with these other factors, acupuncture and laser therapy can be effective tools to help you reach your weight loss goals in a safe, natural, and healthy way!
