 Acupuncture Point Injection, or Acupoint Injection Therapy (AIT), is a truly integrative therapy that blends the best of Chinese Medicine with conventional and homeopathic medicine. Employing this technique, AIT certified Acupuncture Physicians inject natural therapeutic substances, such as homeopathic remedies or vitamins, into acupuncture points specific to your need. By combining these effective natural injectables with time-tested acupuncture points, we create a highly synergistic effect, heightening the potency of both the acupuncture point or nutraceutical. Sometimes referred to as “biopuncture,” AIT earned some well-deserved attention in early 2011 when Dr. Mehmet Oz featured the therapy on his television show.
By stimulating powerful acupuncture points with proven natural substances, we can affect the body on a deeper level and create a healing climate. AIT is particularly effective for the resolution of acute and chronic pain in the body, particularly in the shoulder, back, knee, and neck. We also use AIT techniques in many of our weight loss protocols, facial rejuvenation programs, and even our B-12 injections.
In order to use AIT as a therapy, Acupuncture Physicians must complete additional didactic and clinical training beyond their traditional education. An additional certification in AIT must be earned in order to practice this technique.
We understand a lot of people (ourselves included!) get nervous when they hear the word “injection.” Let us reassure you--the needles we use are of the smallest size and finest quality available, resembling no other hypodermic you may have encountered. This is a gentle modality that works with the body in order to achieve optimal health.
