Carpal tunnel syndrome remains one of the most common and frustrating chronic conditions seen in practice.

Discover how laser acupuncture may address chronic nerve compression differently than metal needles, and why it offers distinct advantages in chronic carpal tunnel cases.

Steve will review findings from one of the earliest American laser acupuncture studies, conducted by Dr. Margaret Naeser, a respected acupuncturist and leading researcher in the field.

The study demonstrated significant improvements in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and raised an important clinical question: In chronic cases, could laser acupuncture be more effective than traditional metal needles?

Steve will break down how laser acupuncture works physiologically, why it may offer advantages in chronic nerve compression conditions, and how decades of global practice, including its development in China since the 1970s, support broader integration into mainstream acupuncture care.

This clinically focused live discussion will help you learn:

  • The history of laser acupuncture research in America
  • How laser acupuncture can be applied to treat carpal tunnel syndrome in one of the first laser acupuncture studies in America
  • Why laser acupuncture is more effective than metal acupuncture in cases such as chronic carpal tunnel syndrome
  • How laser acupuncture has been practiced in China since the 1970s
  • Why laser acupuncture should be integrated into traditional acupuncture practice
