Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy (APIT) combines traditional acupuncture with modern medicine to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. By injecting biocompatible substances like vitamins, minerals, and ultra-high dilution medicines into acupuncture points, APIT supports tissue repair, pain relief, and regeneration. Its unique approach is gaining recognition as a non-invasive alternative to conventional treatments for various musculoskeletal and systemic conditions.
The Science Behind Regeneration with APIT
APIT stimulates the body at specific acupuncture points, where blood flow, nerve pathways, and connective tissue intersect. The injection not only activates these acupuncture points but also delivers regenerative compounds directly to areas that need healing. This dual action can:
. Boost Collagen Production Substances like amino acids promote collagen synthesis, essential for repairing soft tissue and maintaining skin elasticity.
. Reduce Inflammation: Anti-inflammatory agents like saline or vitamin B12 help modulate the body’s inflammatory response, accelerating recovery.
. Enhance Cellular Regeneration: Ingredients such as ultra-high dilution medicines and growth factors stimulate cell renewal, aiding in tissue repair and revitalization.
Clinical Evidence Supporting Regenerative Benefits
Several studies highlight the regenerative potential of APIT:
1. Pain and Tissue Repair
Research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine demonstrated that injecting procaine (a mild anesthetic) into acupuncture points improved pain relief and reduced stiffness in patients with myofascial pain syndrome. The injections also showed evidence of enhancing blood flow and tissue repair in affected areas.
2. Joint and Cartilage Health
A study on knee osteoarthritis found that injecting hyaluronic acid into acupuncture points decreased pain and improved joint function. The localized stimulation of acupuncture points, combined with hyaluronic acid’s lubricating properties, supported cartilage regeneration and reduced degeneration.
3. Wound Healing and Skin Rejuvenation
Cosmetic acupuncture combined with APIT using ultra-high dilution medicines or hyaluronic acid has been shown to enhance skin regeneration. PRP, rich in growth factors, promotes cellular repair and collagen production, reducing wrinkles and improving skin elasticity.
4. Tendon and Ligament Injuries
APIT with regenerative compounds like vitamin B12 and amino acids has been used to treat chronic tendonitis and ligament injuries. Studies suggest that these injections improve tensile strength and promote healing by increasing local circulation and cellular repair.
Advantages of APIT for Regenerative Healing
. Non-Invasive: Compared to surgical options, APIT offers a safer, less invasive way to promote regeneration.
. Natural Healing: By leveraging the body’s innate repair mechanisms, it encourages long-term recovery rather than masking symptoms.
. Targeted Delivery: The precise placement of injections ensures the therapeutic substances are delivered exactly where they’re needed.
. Versatile Applications: APIT can be used for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, skin rejuvenation, and even systemic conditions like fatigue or immune dysfunction.
Popular Substances Used in APIT for Regeneration
1. Vitamin B12: Supports nerve health, reduces inflammation, and enhances cellular energy.
2. Hyaluronic Acid: Improves joint lubrication and hydration, particularly in osteoarthritis.
3. Ultra-high Dilution Medicines: Aid in balancing the body’s energy and promoting healing as well as regeneration of cells.
What to Expect
During your first visit to Lambert Wellness Center, Dr. Mary will have an in-depth consultation to curate an individual treatment plan for your needs. Regenerative APIT treatments work best in a series, but the number of treatments necessary for optimal healing will depend on the individual’s health concerns and healing goals. You will, however, have some relief after the very first treatment.
Conclusion
Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy is at the forefront of regenerative medicine, blending the ancient wisdom of acupuncture with cutting-edge medical innovations. Whether addressing chronic pain, skin rejuvenation, or musculoskeletal injuries, APIT offers a powerful, non-invasive solution for those seeking natural healing and long-term wellness.
As more research emerges, APIT’s role in regenerative therapies continues to expand, offering hope for those seeking to heal, repair, and rejuvenate without surgery or synthetic drugs.
