Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Acupuncture is an alternative medicine and it’s efficacy is not clearly proven. However, it can provide symptomatic relief on some chronic pain conditions. Same is with laser. You can have pain relief, but complete cure may not be guaranteed.
Hope I have answered your query.
