Acupuncture Injection Therapy

Acupuncture Injection

Acupuncture Injection Therapy involves the injection of homeopathic solutions or vitamins administered by qualified acupuncturists. Like acupuncture, fine needles are inserted into acupuncture points just under the skin. As the name suggests, this therapy evolved from acupuncture and has long been a therapy used by acupuncturists in China. It isn’t a replacement for Acupuncture or Massage, but can be a great adjunct therapy. Acupuncture injection therapy can be used for stubborn pain conditions like arthritis and gout. A more modern approach incorporates the injection of vitamins such as B-12 for energy or Lipotropic Amino Acids for Weight Loss.

Athletes are among the many patients that find the most benefit of acupuncture injection therapy.   It can be used for injuries and rehabilitation to avoid the nasty side effects of cortisone injections. Likewise, many marathoners and triathletes enjoy the boost of B-12 injections when preparing for a long race.

Details About the Injections:

Each injection option is described below. Before any procedure is performed, we will have a consultation to make sure the selected treatment is right for you, or to help you decide which treatment is right based on your symptoms and goals.  All injection services use sterile single use disposable needles.  All injection solutions are sterile and purchased from a FDA regulated facility or pharmacy.  The price of the procedure will depend on the service selected and the cost of the material being used.

Homeopathic solutions that we have currently in stock are: Traumeel, Zeel, Arnica, Lymphomyosot, Engystol, and Spascupreel.

Vitamin B12 Injections: 

There are three forms of  Vitamin B 12.  Most often we use Methylcobalamin.

Methylcobalamin:

This is the most active form in the human body. It converts homocysteine into methionine, which helps protect the cardiovascular system. Methylcobalamin also offers overall protection to the nervous system. This B-12 form can also cross the blood-brain barrier–without assistance–to protect brain cells. It contributes essential methyl groups needed for detoxification and to start the body’s biochemical reactions.

Cyanocobalamin:

This synthetic version of vitamin B-12 is created in a lab, which makes it the cheapest supplement option. It offers the most stable form of B-12, although it does so through the presence of a cyanide molecule. While the amount of cyanide is not dangerous, it does require the body to expend energy to convert and remove it.

Hydroxocobalamin:

Bacteria naturally creates this form of vitamin B-12, making it the main type found in most foods. It easily converts into methylcobalamin in the body. Hydroxocobalamin is commonly used via injection as a treatment for B-12 deficiency as well as a treatment for cyanide poisoning.

Vitamin B Injections:

-Super Lipotropic MIC & Vitamin B12:

MIC combined with Vitamin B12 is an injection is used to facilitate weight loss and boost energy, aiding in the use of food for energy and in the breakdown of fat.

Additional Information:
MIC stands for Methionine, Inositol, and Choline.
Methione: An essential amino acid, meaning that it cannot be synthesized in the body. Methionine helps form SAMe (S-adenosyl methionine), which is the “activated” form of methionine. SAMe does the following:  can have an effect  in reducing the symptoms of depression, and in treating osteoarthritis.  SAMe is possibly effective in treating liver disease during pregnancy, improving symptoms in people with fibromyalgia, and in treating nerve problems in people with AIDS, or sexual dysfunction in men with depression.

Inositol: is a B vitamin and a primary component of cell membranes.
Choline: is similar to the B vitamins but not “officially” a B vitamin, yet often placed in the B vitamin category. It is an essential nutrient which is water soluble.

 

-Lipotropic MIC, Vitamin B6 & VitaminB12:

In this injection the addition of Vitamin B6 is add to help metabolize amino acids and glycogen (the body’s storage form of glucose). It is also necessary for normal nervous system function and red blood cell formation. Studies have shown that a vitamin B6 deficiency could influence memory function and contribute to cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s and dementia. Other studies also link a vitamin B6 deficiency to possibly contributing to Alzheimer’s disease.

Vitamin C Injections:

Oral vitamin supplements have to go through the long process of digestion before they’re absorbed into the bloodstream. Vitamin C injections, on the other hand, deliver the dosage directly into your body. Additionally, your body absorbs the full amount of Vitamin C injected, unlike supplements, which, after digestion, only deliver a portion of the dose they originally contained.

Vitamin C has many benefits. It supports your adrenal glands, delivers sustained energy levels, and enhances and protects your skin. It also strengthens your bones, boosts your immune system, and even helps fight the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
