Low power lasers with small focused spots can be used to stimulate acupuncture points using the same rules of point selection as in traditional Chinese needle acupuncture. Laser acupuncture may be used solely or in combination with needles for any given condition over a course of treatment. Trigger points are defined as hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscle that are associated with palpable nodules in taut bands of muscle fibers. They may also be found in ligaments, tendons, and periosteum. Higher doses of LLLT may be used for the deactivation of trigger points. Direct irradiation over tendons, joint margins, bursae etc. may be effective in the treatment of conditions in which trigger points may play a part. The Laser needle system can be used to stimulate multiple acupuncture points or trigger points simultaneously.

LLLT is used for three main purposes: to promote wound healing, tissue repair, and the prevention of tissue death; to relieve inflammation and edema because of injuries or chronic diseases; and as an analgesic and a treatment for other neurological problems. These applications appear in a wide range of clinical settings, ranging from dentistry, to dermatology, to rheumatology and physiotherapy
