Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy (APIT)

APIT is a specialized treatment that helps to alleviate pain, prevent illness, boost immunity and improve physiological function. Your body has the ability to heal itself, sometimes it just needs a push in the right direction.

What is APIT?

Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy (APIT)
is a non surgical, non- pharmaceutical treatment for a variety of issues. It is the injection of a customized cocktail mixture of nutraceutical vitamins, homeopathics and mild analgesics into acupuncture points.

This integrative therapy combines the best of traditional Chinese medicine with conventional and homeopathic medicines. This therapy can be very effective for alleviating pain, prevention of illness, and improvement of physiological function. When utilized for trigger point pain relief, these injections offer QUICK pain relief.

This treatment is very effective in treating acute pain and chronic conditions including:

  • Arthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Joint pain
  • Lower back pain
  • Sciatica
  • Herniated Disc
  • Sports Injuries
  • Migraine headaches
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Shoulder Injuires
  • Tendonitis

The most commonly injected substances in Biopuncture are ultra-low dose homeopathic formulations like Traumeel and vitamins such as B-12.

How it 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. When the cocktail is introduced to the point, the body easily absorbs the substance. Leaving a deposit of that customized cocktail at the injection site will stimulate the acupuncture point longer for further effect.
