Acupoint Injections

What Are Acupoint Injections?

Acupoint injections are an infusion of herbs and homeopathies mixed with nutritional supplements. This treatment carries sterile substances injected into the acupuncture points to promote, restore, and retain health. It also helps in palliative care, acupuncture anesthesia, pain management, and disease prevention. This injection is not a substitute for traditional acupuncture but an adjunctive treatment that may help to heal. These injections treat common conditions such as headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, low back pain, hip pain, foot pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, sciatica, Achilles tendinitis, etc.

HOW DO THESE INJECTIONS WORK?

Acupuncture helps manipulate the qi meridians directly. This therapy removes blocks and mobilizes the energy in the meridians, which communicate with the nervous system to release the feel-good hormones. This therapy also calms the yang energy (fatigue) or stimulates the yin energy (swelling)

Emotions and mental functions are also the components of qi, i.e., the body’s vital energy and blood. Acupoint injections injected at the acupuncture points are more beneficial than subcutaneous injections, as the patient experiences the cumulative benefits of acupuncture and the healing properties of the infusion. We use Traumeel and Zeel injections for the treatment. 

What Is Traumeel Injection?

This injection is a non-cortisone treatment that eases musculoskeletal pain. It is a safe alternative to corticosteroids and NSAIDs. Traumeel is a homeopathic solution composed of natural botanical and mineral extracts. This treatment is available for injections, drops, tablets, ointments, and gels.

What Is Zeel Injection?

Zeel is a homeopathic remedy for pain, stiffness, and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, arthrosis, and rheumatic joint diseases.

Who Is Qualified to Perform the Acupoint Injection Therapy?

Only a licensed acupuncturist certified in Acupoint Injection Therapy can administer this treatment.

B12 Injections

Vitamin B12 is a surprisingly necessary vitamin.

Vitamin B12 has so many positive effects on the body that we would never even think of. For instance, it is crucial in developing new red blood cells and preventing anemia. It also supports the normal function of your nerve cells and is needed for DNA synthesis. That's a lot to ask of a vitamin, but it does much more!
B12 also...

• Helps prevent major birth defects
• Supports bone health and may prevent osteoporosis
• Reduces risk of macular degeneration
• May improve mood and symptoms of depression
• Prevents the loss of neurons, benefitting your brain
• May give you an energy boost
• Could improve heart health
• Supports healthy hair, skin and nails

Is there anything else you could ask for? We didn't think so either. Unfortunately, studies have shown that about 6% of the people in the US are deficient in this vitamin and around 20% are borderline low. Think about all this vitamin does and then think of what happens when you don't have enough.
So what can you do if you think you might be low or defeicient? Well, luckily, we have options. B12 is now offered in injectable form so that your body can get the most use out of it. While B12 has shown no signs of danger from overuse, you should consult with your physician if you have any concerns.
B12 can not be made naturally by our bodies. It is only found in animal products, therefore those on a strict vegan diet nay be low even with certain foods being fortified with the vitamin. Other reasons include: bariatric surgery or bowel resection, age, those with GI diseases such as Crohn's and Celiac, people taking Metformin to control their blood sugar and thos taking proton pump inhibitors (Prevacid, Prilosec, etc) for chronic heartburn.
