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. 

How Many Treatments Are Required?

ACUPUNCTURE AND METABOLISM

The practice of inserting thin needles at specific points on the body is called acupuncture. These needles stimulate crucial nerves that regulate the body's metabolism and energy. 

An acupuncturist focuses on the excretory and endocrine systems to promote weight loss. Kidneys regulate water retention while the endocrine system maintains hormonal balance. 

They give treatment to points related to the thyroid and spleen. The thyroid gland regulates the metabolic rate while the spleen monitors fluid levels. 

They treat the adrenal glands and ovaries too. The adrenal produces hormones to regulate the metabolism, blood pressure, immune system, response to stress, etc. 

The ovaries secrete estrogen and progesterone. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause occur because of these hormones.

The Treatment 

They insert acupuncture needles to the depth of a few centimeters or 1/4 inches into the epidermis. The depth depends on the style of acupuncture.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE HELP LOSE WEIGHT?

The treatment regulates hormone production, optimizes digestion, improves metabolism, suppresses appetite, reduces inflammation, reduces water retention while optimizing other bodily functions. All these corrections lead to weight loss.

Besides these treatments, dietary interventions help you stay mentally and physically healthy during the weight loss journey. 

The lifestyle interventions keep you active with exercise and other physical activities. The aim is to prevent boredom while keeping the person mentally strong and committed to the goal. 

The holistic interventions lend emotional, physical, social, and spiritual support to promote wellbeing.

The Takeaway 

There is no one size fits approach to weight loss. It helps to work with the acupressurist or health care professional to find out what works for you. 

Acupressure is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that can bring many positive health benefits, including weight loss.

Always look for a licensed acupuncturist certified in Acupuncture Therapy to help you on your weight loss journey.

Prolozone Therapy: Safe and Effective Shoulder Injury Treatment

Did you know that there are new, safe, and effective therapies for arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and other joint issues that can be done at Legacy Clinic?

 

Prolozone, which is a combination of “proliferation” and “ozone,” is a safe and effective injection into the joint that includes ozone, a safe oxygen product found naturally in the atmosphere. These injections can help create a regenerating effect on damaged joints and other musculoskeletal parts of the body, all while creating a non-inflammatory response. This keeps you safe and comfortable while the injections encourage the body to use its natural healing abilities.

 

Shoulder pain can be debilitating, but there are Prolozone treatments that are a safe and effective measure to not just ease the pain but can even reverse the cause of the pain. Using the power of three combined oxygen atoms, Prolozone allows the body to naturally regenerate. The pain of many treatments comes from the inflammatory response they produce, but Prolozone is proven to create healing benefits without the pain and discomfort of excessive inflammation. Prolozone treatments can be used for tendonitis or bursitis of the shoulder, labral tears, frozen shoulder, and torn rotator cuffs.

Dr. Aaron Perry DOM has been in the holistic healing space since 1997, and his training and expertise can help you to feel your best with minimal side effects.

How Acupuncture Helps Neuropathy

How Acupuncture Helps Neuropathy

What Is Acupuncture? 

Acupuncture is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine. The practitioner inserts thin needles into the body at the acupuncture points to stimulate the central nervous system. They palpitate these needles to stimulate the flow of neurochemicals that flow into the brain, spinal cord, and muscles. These secretions stimulate the body's natural healing abilities promoting emotional and physical well-being. 

What Is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy is damage to the nervous system. Mainly, it affects the peripheral nervous system that sends information from the spinal cord and brain to the rest of the body. Peripheral neuropathy may be because of genetics, injury, hormonal imbalance, or disorder in an organ. Meaning, that some people may suffer from neuropathy because they have inherited this disorder from their parents. While others suffer from lifestyle, diseases like diabetes.

There are a hundred types of peripheral neuropathy with their symptoms and prognosis. 

We classify them as; 

Motor Neuropathy is damage to the nerves controlling the body's muscles. It may affect the mouth, impairing the ability to talk and eat or locomotion and movement using the arms and legs. 

Sensory Neuropathy - Sensory nerves control the sense of touch, pain, and temperature. Sensory neuropathy impairs all of them. 

Autonomic Nerve Neuropathy - Autonomic nerves control the involuntary function of the body such as breathing, blinking, heartbeat, etc. Damage to autonomic nerves can be fatal. 

Combination Neuropathies - 

A patient may suffer from a mix of the neuropathies mentioned above such as sensory-motor neuropathy.

How Acupuncture Helps Neuropathy?

The symptoms of neuropathy, such as muscle weakness, twitching, cramps, numbness, loss of sensation, etc; can be treated with acupuncture. The practitioner inserts the needles into the pressure points to stimulate the nervous system. This action releases the body's natural painkillers such as endorphin into the muscles, brain, and spine. These secretions not only change the way the body responds to chronic pain. They also restore nerve damage.

How Does the Program Work?

Your brain controls the secretion of hormones. There are two types of hormones released in the bloodstream after every meal - fat burning and fat storage.

The type of food you eat affects the functioning of these hormones. The Global Weight Loss Drops program recommends a specific protocol for what and when to eat it. This science-based protocol heals your cells and improves the body’s metabolism. 

Global Weight Loss Drops enhance the production of fat-burning hormones. These drops reduce the production of fat-storing hormones. Besides this, the Liquid Nutrition System helps nourish the body leading to increased metabolism and energy. 

It provides the body with the proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals required for cellular regeneration while triggering weight loss. It also reduces weight loss resistance as the body is receiving optimum nutrition.

Diet management ensures specific minerals are in your diet to ensure the success of this program. So now, when you know, you don’t have to starve yourself but only switch your diet. What should you eat?
