When photobiomodulation and acupuncture are added to the treatment mix, a modern integrative approach presents itself, bringing together the best of both worlds, for more effective and safe treatment, particularly for chronic conditions. This integrative approach not only addresses compromised physical conditions in of need healing and pain relief but also contributes to homeostasis but contributes to the overall health and well-being of the patient.
