LASER-NEEDLE ACUPUNCTURE AND INTRAVENOUS LASER THERAPY IN CLINICAL APPLICATION: NEW
RESULTS AND TREATMENT OPTIONS
Armin Orthaber
Lauenförde, Germany
Acupuncture therapy employing laser-needles was introduced for the first time in 2001. It is a pain-free procedure
using non-piercing multiple laser-needles with a variable controlled high power laser energy output onto the skin. This
technique emulates Traditional Chinese Medicine as the laser-needle channel is adjustable and individualized for
frequency and output power. This innovated system was proven in clinical studies to be, at a minimum, equivalent
to traditional needling. This claim will be substantiated by the presentation of data from 25.000 treatments analysed
from 2003 to 2008: the majority of cases dealing with common orthopaedic and neurological pathology such as joint,
spinal column, trigeminal nerve, headache and other related clinical challenges. The data also demonstrated that
laser-needle therapy lead to a high percentage of long-term palliation.
Technological advancement of laser therapy will be discussed. This will include the use of multichannel electronic
variability of wavelength and power output intensities necessary for optimum clinical results. Recently new lasers of
green and blue wave lengths were developed and integrated into this system. These lasers amplify clinical benefits.
For example, in combination with monomolecular hyaluronic acid, these lasers may be used for skin regeneration and
wrinkle therapy without intra-dermal injection. Especially the new blue laser can also be used widely in dermatology
and photodynamic therapy of actinic keratosis in combination with aminolevulinic acid.
Another exciting area of clinical interest in Europe is intravenous laser therapy. This will be presented and
appropriate clinical data.
The new laser-needle method (pain free and without side effects), which emulates the traditional rules of
acupuncture science may develop into an important method in the future. It may even replace the traditional metal
needle.

Bioresonance therapy (BRT) is known to be particularly efficacious in the restoration and enhancement of the selfhealing
mechanisms of the organism resulting in an improvement of the inner balance impaired with a pathological
process. On the other hand, balancing effect of meridian treatment is also well known. Thus, meridian treatment by
using BRT methods may be a powerful tool for the restoration of impaired and/or blocked pathways of energy and
information transfer within the body aimed at the systemic treatment of the organism. Examples of meridian treatment
by using BRT are presented and analyzed. BRT treatment of the target meridian makes it possible to re-energize and
re-harmonize organ systems of the body and to renovate the balanced functioning of the same. Selection of meridians
to be treated can be made on the basis of EAV testing and application of the Five Element Theory approach.
ACCUPUNCTURAL TREATMENT OF FBSS: REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

University of Rome
The FBSS "Failed Back Surgery Syndrome", or syndrome failed spine surgery, appears as an increasingly frequent
occurrence and, above all, disabling. Latest figures of literature (1) indicate a frequency of occurrence of the disease
amounted to 38.8% of subjects who have undergone speech to the spine. This percentage is even more significant
in the work presented by Slipman (2) which analyzing the etiology of this syndrome attaches to surgery because a
percentage of occurrence of the syndrome equal to 55.6% of cases. The therapeutic strategies proposed by the
literature on the other hand are very numerous but among all does not seem possible to establish an elective. Recent
work presented focus mainly on the use of mini-invasive methods (3), some of limitatà effectiveness as the intra-disc
treatment of low back pain mechanical, which also characterizes the symptoms of FBSS, others of moderate
effectiveness as Spinal stimulation, the positioning of pumps intratecali, percutaneous lysis of adhesions. The method
proposed by us and practiced in our center provides a type associated agopunturale whether of a type
pharmacological. Our case is composed of 15 patients who went to meeting spine surgery and who then developed
a syndrome FBSS. These patients were divided into 2 groups A / B treated respectively (A = 5 patients) with the sole
acupuncture therapy more infiltrativa areas hyper-algesiche with local anesthetics and (B = 10) with the combination
of acupuncture / therapy infiltrativi more administration pharmacology therapy consisting of Clomipramine
hydrochloride 75 mg / 2 times a day. How evaluation scale was used SEA and was compared in two groups at the
beginning of therapy (T0) and then at a distance of 15 days, 1 and 3 months (T1-T2-T3). The average duration of
