Injection Therapy
What is Injection Therapy ?
AcuPoint Injection therapy
AcuPoint Injection therapy is the injection of sterile substances at acupuncture points. This can have an added benefit to acupuncture, as local injection of a liquid will create a stronger stimulation and the effect will last longer, up to 48 hours, as the fluids are absorbed fluids are absorbed. The substances injected can be saline, homeopathic solutions, lidocaine, procaine, or comination of those.
Trigger Point Injection (Wet needling)
Trigger point injection therapy is injecting sterile substances into painful points, called Ashi in Chinese medicine.may be an option for treating pain in some patients. Trigger points are commonly associated with musculoskeletal pain, but can also be involved with additional conditions, such as headache and TMJ. A tight and inflamed muscle or tendon can produce pain pain.
The purpose of the treatment is to inactivate the trigger point, while simultaneously providing the nutrients and hydration the tissues needed to heal and recover. This will induce reduction in inflammation, increased in circulation and eventually improvement in range of motion and flexibility. Several sites may be injected in one visit. After a trigger point injection, the area may be tender. It is encouraged to remain active after the trigger point injection, but advised to refrain from strenuous activity for a few days. Typical solutions can include saline, lidocaine, vitamin B12, 5% dextrose, and homeopathic formulations.
BioPuncture
Biopuncture is a procedure that uses homeopathic formulations (usually Heel products like Traumeel, Spascupreel or Zeel) injected into specific places in order to reduce pain and expedite the healing process. The most common locations are acupuncture points because of their documented properties for healing specific injuries. This treatment is very similar to Acupoint Injection Therapy except that it uses homeopathic preparations only.
B12 Injections
Injectable B12 is bypassing the digestive system and thus becomes fully available to the body. In cases of inflamed digestive track the vitamin would not be absorbed. B12 is naturally found in many animal products, thus people on vegetarian or vegan diet may need to have regular supplementation.
We only use Methylcobalamin or Hydroxocobalamin forms to help help people suffering from low energy and/or depressive moods. It is commonly used in people on restrictive diet and /or exercise program to help them stay motivated and continue seeing results. B12 is a water soluble vitamin so excess amounts can easily be eliminated in the urine.
