How it Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy (APIT)​ Works

Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy activates acupuncture points much the same way as traditional acupuncture, but with the added benefits provided by the remedies used for injection.

Leaving a deposit of that customized cocktail at the injection site will stimulate the acupuncture point longer for further effect.

Our Reviews

With everyday life and 2 kids I realized I needed to do something for me. I was having terrible head aches along with back and neck pain. I was told how amazing Dr. Julee was and well they were right! I’ve been a patient now for a few months and I can feel an incredible difference. More energy, less pain and I just feel like myself again. Thank you Dr Julee and her incredible staff, you all are truly amazing.
