Acupuncture
Dr. Templin treats patients in his office with acupuncture and low-level laser. The patients he sees via online video conferencing are taught how to treat their own acupoints with affordable laser pointers.

It takes advantage of the body’s natural self-regulating capacity by resetting the brain and nervous system imbalances that are at the root of much chronic pain and illness. From a western scientific point of view, it’s acupuncture works, at least in part, by activating the vagus nerve.
For instance, the vagus nerve sends normal repair and maintenance signals to all of our organs but is inhibited by the stress response. This inhibition leads to extra wear and tear and ultimately to pain and illness.
The outside of the ear is routinely treated with acupuncture to support the alleviation of pain and to activate healing processes. It’s been discovered that the auricle (outside) of the ear is covered with a distribution of the vagus nerve.
Another mechanism through which acupuncture works is the connective tissue matrix or fascial system, which I’ll say more about below. The fascial system goes everywhere even down to the microscopic cellular level. The emerging field of biophysics informs us that photons flow through this connective tissue matrix organizing the functions of the mind and body at the speed of light.
When acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin they interact with the connective tissue matrix and have the effect of resetting and balancing this subtle, self-regulating circuitry.
Laser Acupuncture and Your Liquid Crystalline Body
Do you know that your body uses coherent light … laser light … to orchestrate all of your body’s healing and repair functions?
Biophysicists tell us that our body uses photons … bundles of light traveling at the speed of light … to direct the incomprehensibly complicated biochemical and neurological activity that’s required for cellular repair.
The therapeutic significance of these discoveries is that we can stimulate or jump start our own light-based healing potential with the use of a therapeutic laser.
And what’s most exciting to me is that thousands of studies show that the body responds best to low power lasers. Low power means that an inexpensive laser that you can learn to use at home is highly effective.
Every cell in your body is linked to every other cell by a connective tissue matrix. You can visualize this matrix as a microscopic scaffolding that holds everything in place. Without the structural support from the matrix, your bodily contents would settle into an indistinguishable pile of mush.
For many years this connective tissue matrix was believed to provide structural support only and was not thought to play a relevant part in your body’s healing processes.
Now we know, thanks to the work of biophysicists like Albert-Fritz Popp and Ilya Prigogine, that this omnipresent matrix is a communication network. It’s highly ordered protein structure gives it the properties of a liquid crystal. This liquid crystal is a superhighway for electrical and biophotonic (light) communication. Only a communications network operating at the speed of light could organize such a complex healing system.
This liquid crystalline structure is proving to be the scientific equivalent of the acupuncture meridian system. For example, a functional MRI (fMRI) study has demonstrated that laser light applied to Liver 3, an acupuncture point near the big toe, increases activity in the visual cortex of the brain. Traditionally Liver 3 has been used to treat vision issues.
Another study using high-tech photomultipliers demonstrated that acupuncture meridians possessed properties akin to a fiber optic network. When laser light was applied to an acupuncture point light could be detected being emitted from distant acupuncture points, but not from the skin surface separating the points.
The Benefits of Traditional and Laser Acupuncture
Activates healing processes that have become stalled by stress, fatigue, or toxins
Increases circulation, immune function, tissue repair and wound healing
Activates brain function to reduce anxiety, addiction, and depression
Decreases pain, inflammation, swelling, and muscle spasm
Enhances cognition, memory, and attention
Has a balancing influence on the autonomic nervous system
Can be performed at home … it’s highly effective and inexpensive
Used by college, professional, and Olympic sports teams to enhance performance
I’ve used a number of lasers in my practice over the years, varying in price from the very expensive to the very affordable. A growing body of research on laser therapy, along with my own direct experience, is proving the therapeutic power of inexpensive, low power, and frequency specific lasers.
What this means is that laser therapy, or the more technical term photobiomodulation, and its host of therapeutic benefits is ideal for individuals to use on themselves at home.
Laser acupuncture allows you to communicate with your body speaking its very specific frequency based language. The laser I’ve found to be most effective emits a red light at 635 nanometers. This is within the range of light frequencies that the body uses to communicate with itself.
