Abstract

A laser therapeutic apparatus for treating a patient by irradiating selected body parts by laser beams generated by a plurality of laser probes. The laser probes are supported by a common support table and a lock mechanism is provided to selectively lock and release the laser probes to maintain and release the orientation thereof. Each laser probe includes an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder and a spring for biasing the inner cylinder axially within the outer cylinder. The end of the inner cylinder is provided with one or more lights that are energized when the associated probe is emitting a laser beam. The end of each laser probe further includes indicating rings for visually indicating the extent of the axial movement of the inner cylinder with respect to the outer cylinder.
