Acupuncture Injection Therapy (AIT), is a therapeutic technique that combines the effectiveness of acupuncture with the therapeutic benefits of natural substances. At our Tucson pain clinic, plant based extracts, pharmaceutical grade homeopathics, or essential vitamins are placed at specific acupuncture or trigger points, or areas of pain to stimulate the body’s innate healing response.
This approach can be especially effective for chronic pain, muscle tension, inflammation, or low immune function. Injection therapy can extend the results of an acupuncture treatment and reduce the overall number of treatments you may need. We specialize in injection therapy and our practitioner has received extensive training in it’s use .
