Acupoint injection therapy, also known as acupuncture point injection or acupoint injection, is a specialized technique that combines traditional acupuncture principles with the use of injectable substances. Instead of using needles solely for acupuncture stimulation, acupoint injection therapy involves the injection of various therapeutic substances directly into acupuncture points on the body.
The substances injected into the acupuncture points can vary and may include vitamins, homeopathic remedies, herbal extracts, or other medications. The choice of substances depends on the specific health concerns being addressed and the goals of the therapy.
Acupoint injection therapy is employed for a range of health issues, including pain management, inflammation, immune system support, and various chronic conditions. It is often used as a complementary or integrative approach to conventional medical treatments.
Acupoint injection therapy should be administered by trained and licensed healthcare professionals, such as acupuncturists or medical doctors, who are skilled in both acupuncture and injection techniques.
