Laser For Withdrawal From Nicotine, Alcohol, Marijuana, Sugar & More
What Is Laser Therapy For Withdrawal?
Laser therapy is a non-invasive procedure that stimulates energy points (a.k.a. acupuncture points) with gentle laser light instead of acupuncture needles. It is increasingly being recognized as an effective method or adjunct therapy for helping people with withdrawal symptoms to quit smoking, nicotine, alcohol, marijuana and more.
The purpose of laser therapy is to decrease withdrawal symptoms and cravings, making it much easier for people to quit various substances. It does this in one way by promoting a strong release of neurotransmitters like endorphins, dopamine and serotonin — which are the body’s natural feel good endorphins. There is another mechanism though that is increasingly becoming scientifically recognized by science and that is laser therapy can have very positive effects on the nervous system, including the brain.
Laser Therapy & The Nervous System
Scientific studies are showing that laser therapy has positive effects on the nervous system, cognitive function and neuroplasticity. Laser does this by promoting neurogenesis — the formation of new neurological tissue. The theory is that this also helps make it easier for people to adapt to the stress of change, learn new things and also adopt new habits more readily which is very helpful when people want to quit a bad habit.
Laser Therapy Is Safe
Laser therapy is generally non-invasive, harmless and well-tolerated. It is normally completed in a health clinic facility by a trained professional and sessions normally last between 30 and 45 minutes. Minor potential side effects include minor tiredness post treatment but this is often viewed as a positive side effect since laser therapy helps people to relax and sleep better. In general, laser therapy is viewed as a very low-risk and safe treatment option.
