Injection Therapy

Biopuncture
Biopuncture is a form of therapy performed by a certified practitioner in which medicinal plant and mineral-based products and homeopathic remedies are injected into specific regions of the body. The majority of injections are administered into the muscle or just below the surface of the skin with a filiform needle to stimulate your body’s natural healing process.
Claudia administers Trigger-point Pain Injections that combine a personalized homeopathic remedy specific for the type of pain, along with 1cc of 1% procaine. Procaine is a mild anesthetic similar to lidocaine, however, is shown to be safer because it is non-carcinogenic and metabolizes like an amino acid.
Pain Injections can be combined with acupuncture for stubborn or severe pain, and can provide longer standing relief.

Vitamin B12 Injections
Vitamin B12 injections can help with fatigue, sleep, mood, and digestion. We use a high quality, activated form of B12 that is absorbed into the bloodstream and helps stimulate the utilization of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. B12 injections may also be beneficial to certain conditions such as: Crohn's disease, colitis, and those with a vegetarian/vegan diet, who are often susceptible to B12 deficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What form of B12 is used and how much is injected?
1cc of 5mg (5000 mcg) methylcobalamin is used. Methylcobalamin is an active form of B12 that is readily absorbed by the bloodstream and utilized by the body. Cynocobalamin and hydroxocobalamin are other forms of B12 that are often used as injectables, but are inactive forms that your body needs to work harder to convert.
What is the difference between taking B12 supplements and getting injections?
Taking B12 supplements regularly generally takes a month or two to see results. Because injections go directly into the blood stream you will get better absorption and faster results, without having to take a daily pill.
How many injections are needed?
Though some individuals do respond after one injection, a series of shots is recommended if you have never had B-12 injections before: generally once a week for the first month. Those who have had B12 injections previously can come as needed.
Is it safe? Are there any side effects?
Yes it is very safe. B-vitamins are water soluble so any excess would be urinated out. You may see a slight redness in your urine because of the natural red colouring to methylcobalamin.
