ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the treatment of injured or pathologic tissue in the body with a laser. More particularly this invention relates to a holistic method of treating the tissue wherein not only the injured or pathologic tissue is stimulated; but additionally, tissues along related body energy paths, as defined and recognized in Eastern medicine, are stimulated with the laser. The laser stimulation normalizes natural body energy flow and facilitates normal cellular activity in pathological areas.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The warming and therapeutic effect of laser light on body tissue is known. U.S. Pat. No. 5,445,146 issued to G. J. Bellinger in 1995 discloses the use of a laser to reduce pain, to reduce inflammation, and to enhance healing.
The applicants have intimate familiarity with acupuncture as well as laser therapy of body tissues. In Eastern Medicine body energy paths are defined as meridian pathways and Jin Shin Jyutsu energy pathways. In acupuncture a localized tissue problem area is treated by needling trigger points consisting of nerve endings known to be interconnected along an energy flow path to the localized problem area.
In their practice the applicants have worked with individuals having problems generally perceived as being specific to a local body area as well as individuals having more systemic nerve diseases. Following protocols of laser treatments along body energy paths, where acupuncture points of nerve endings were targeted, remarkable recoveries from chronic pains and even reversals in incurrable diseases have been achieved.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of this invention to disclose a method of stimulating injured or pathologic tissue with a laser. It is an object of this invention to disclose a method of treating a problem identified with a specific body area by stimulating tissue along an energy path in the body to rectify energy flow through the specific body area and thereby alleviate problems in that area of concern. It is yet a further object of this invention to disclose a holistic method of treating the body with laser therapy; a method which has resulted in remarkable recoveries from chronic pains and even reversals in the progression of diseases generally considered to be irreversible.
One aspect of this invention provides for a holistic method of therapeutic laser treatment for body tissues in a problematic area, comprising the following steps: using a laser discharge probe to irradiate the tissues in the problematic area and additionally treating a body energy path through the problematic area by irradiating the body tissues along an energy path, as defined in Eastern medicine, through the problematic area so that energy flow is normalized in the problematic area.
Another aspect of this provides for a method as above wherein the energy flow path comprises meridians of energy flow as defined in acupuncture and wherein treatment points along the energy flow path comprise acupuncture points. In yet another preferred aspect of this invention the energy flow path comprises Jin Shin Jyutsu energy flow paths and the treatment points along the energy flow paths comprise energy spheres.
Various other objects, advantages and features of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
