Steve Liu, L.Ac.
PBM (Photobiomodulation) is a Complete Game-Changer – TCM needles kickstart the healing, but the laser/PBM actually helps quicken the healing and rejuvenate the nerve roots in the lumbar that causes the sciatica… offering fuller, more effective, and more sustained relief.
Back pain and sciatica affect more than 80% of the population at some time during their lifetime. That is a huge market for acupuncturists, even though we tend to still be the practitioner of last resort.
But treating chronic lower back pain and sciatica is very challenging for all TCM practitioners. Typical TCM approaches are effective at addressing acute pain, but healing chronic lower back and sciatica pain at the root of the problem can be a more significant challenge for clinicians.
Using a more integrative TCM 4.0 approach (including laser and PBM therapeutic approaches), Steve is able to target the deeper source of the condition to heal it more fully at the root. Allowing for more dramatic change and enthusiastic referrals. Now he’s sharing his complete method in detail for you to start applying in your practice.
