LASER ACCUPUNCTURE IN TORTICOLLIS

Torticollis (inability to perform lateral, dorso or anteroflexion of the neck) is an interesting clinical sign. Patients will look for a helpful doctor to take care. I will tell you a story about an anxious lady with a very painful neck. She was brought to our clinic on a wheelchair. Both of her hands were touching her neck at all times.

I had to put her flat on the bed in order to detect the points and start injecting the laser light. Then, the painful neck was starting to fade away, her condition was gradually improved. She could flex her neck laterally to the right and left side without any meaningful pain sensation. Thanks to this lady, I learned even more lessons of this bright red light called laser.
