Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a laser acupoint device, and more particularly to a laser acupoint device for relieving symptoms of chronic diseases. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that uses fine needles to stimulate specific acupoints to regulate the body's internal balance and treat diseases. It can relax myofascia, reduce inflammation and pain, treat neuralgia, and aid in stroke rehabilitation. Although acupuncture is a relatively safe treatment method, it is an invasive procedure and still carries certain risks. Medical errors during acupuncture, patient agitation, or inadequate post-needle care can lead to adverse reactions such as pneumothorax, infection, bleeding, bruising, and hematoma. Laser acupuncture, because it does not use traditional fine needles but instead uses low-energy lasers to stimulate traditional Chinese medicine acupoints, is a phototherapy method that avoids the risks associated with invasive procedures. However, most existing laser acupuncture treatments only use a single fixation method, making it difficult to appropriately fixate on different parts of the body and thus failing to achieve optimal relief and improvement. For example, in cases of kidney disease such as diabetes, targeting only a single acupoint often fails to achieve the best relief and improvement. [Summary of the Invention]

Preferably, these second laser units 33 can vary along the curvature of the base 32, so that the second laser units 33 are all facing the center of curvature of the base 32, so as to have a better irradiation effect. The first laser devices 2 and the second laser devices 3 can also be connected to fuses (not shown) so that the first laser device 2 and the second laser device 3 can melt when the power is too high or the temperature is too high, preventing damage.

[0021] This invention utilizes a first laser device 2 and a second laser device 3 to irradiate the human body, using energy within the specified wavelength range for treatment. Each first laser device 2 includes multiple first laser units 26, which can be fixed to the human body using conventional methods such as patches or suction cups, allowing for individual single-point irradiation. Each second laser device 3 includes multiple second laser units 33, fixed to the same strap 31, which can be used to fix the device to the hands, legs, or torso, allowing for multi-point irradiation. This invention can be used to irradiate acupoints such as Pancreas Shu, Blood Sugar Lowering, Yuji, Neiting, Taixi, Zusanli, Zhongwan, Sanyinjiao, Neiguan, Diji, and Rangu. These acupoints can help regulate insulin secretion and promote metabolism, thereby alleviating and improving symptoms of chronic diseases such as diabetes.
