Acupoint Injection Therapy
Combining Traditional and Modern Techniques
Acupoint Injection Therapy (APIT) combines traditional acupuncture methods with the modern technique of injecting sterile therapeutic substances directly into acupuncture points. The injections are typically shallow, administered either just below the skin (subq) or into the muscle (IM), and are often described as painless or causing minimal discomfort.
Targeted and Effective Treatments
Directly targeted treatments are based upon Chinese Medicine diagnosis, acupuncture point functions, and/or trigger points along affected meridians. This ensures the substances reach exactly where they are needed, providing a rapid effect. The synergistic effect of acupoint stimulation and the therapeutic effects of the injected substance creates sustained healing. As the injected substance slowly absorbs, it may continue to stimulate the specific point for up to 48 hours post-injection.
Substances Used in APIT
Our clinic utilizes pharmaceutical-grade vitamins, amino acids, German homeopathic medicines, peptides, frequency-imprinted sterile water, as well as some low-dose medications such as procaine and lidocaine.
