BIOPUNCTURE

Biopuncture

is a

therapy

whereby certain biological products, such as herbs and Homoeopathics are injected into specific areas, either relating to reflex zones or acupuncture points. Most of these injections are given subcutaneously or into the muscles. Medications commonly used for injection

therapy

include cocktails of natural products, where several biotherapeutic products are combined into one ampoule. Examples of medication commonly used in biopuncture: Arnica is used for haematomas, and muscle pain, Nux vomica is injected for digestive problems, Ignatia is used for shock and stress related symptoms and Echinacea is used to increase the natural defense system of the body.

Most people - especially those who are apprehensive about injections because they may have had bad experiences with injections in their childhood - are surprised how easily and quickly these injections are given. In fact, these injections cannot be compared with the usual injections given in conventional medicine. Due to their method of administration they are not painful and only a mild pin prick will be detected which is tolerable in all age groups

Biopuncture

will always be performed according to the latest technical and safety standards. This includes a correct injection technique, and of course the use of sterile disposable material, so that transmission of disease is impossible.
The low dose herbal and homeopathic content of the injection ampoules mean that the side-effects, if any,are minimal.

How does Biopuncture work?

These natural products are injected with the primary aim of stimulating your own defense systems, i.e. the body starts healing itself. In many cases, this is sufficient to get the body in balance again. You may receive injections in your neck for whiplash, on your chest for bronchitis, on your abdomen for gastro-enteritis, in your knee for joint pain, etc.
Local injections can also be given to stimulate the local blood circulation, and to support the ongoing inflammatory processes, if indicated, such as when treating sports injuries.
Some of the products are designed to relax muscles. They are used, for example, when dealing with neck pain and low back pain. Even pain in the knee or in the hip region can have a muscular origin and can sometimes be treated without injecting the joint itself.

Which conditions are treatable with Biopuncture?

Biopuncture

is mostly used for minor orthopaedic and musculo-skeletal problems, whether they are acute or chronic. Neck pain, back pain, sciatica, sprained joints, frozen shoulder and Achilles tendonitis all respond well to this treatment.

Biopuncture

is also very successful in treating sports injuries, tennis elbow, and repetitive strain injuries.

However,

Biopuncture

is not just used for pain problems, but other conditions such as allergies and inflammations respond well, e.g. asthma, eczema and hay fever. Patients with arthritis, bronchitis, cystitis and sinusitis can also be treated with this technique.

The use of biopuncture should be considered by those patients who have tried conventional medicine but have had no success, or those who have had to stop taking conventional medication because of side effects. It is an interesting healing technique for those patients who want to avoid an operation (for example for sciatica or sinusitis). In some patients it may be advantageous to combine the conventional approach together with biopuncture. Many people still believe that one has to stop conventional treatments when choosing natural medicine. This is not true. When you are being treated with biopuncture, you just continue the medication you were already taking. In case of doubt, always contact your physician first for professional advice. Each case should be considered individually.
