Acupuncture Point injection is a modern therapy by injecting natural herbal extracts or vitamin solutions into acupuncture points to prevent or treat diseases. Like acupuncture, fine needles are inserted into acupuncture points or trigger points just under the skin or into muscles. As the name suggests, this therapy evolved from standard acupuncture and has been routinely practiced in China for many years. It uses hypodermic needle techniques at acupuncture point locations to produce successful clinical outcomes.
Acupuncture Injection into acupuncture points activates them in a similar way to the insertion of acupuncture needles. But the acupuncture injection will stimulate the acupuncture point for a much longer period of time, thus enhancing the therapeutic effect. We can think of it as SUPER ACUPUNCTURE. It is a very useful technique in some hard-to-treat, or poorly responding conditions.
Dr. Yali Fan has 26 years clinical experience in point injection. She used to teach point injection in Shandong University Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China during 1984-1996. On March 1, 2002, Florida Acupuncture board issued a statute that Point injection can be used by licensed acupuncture physicians in Florida. Dr Fan is one of the experts in point injection in Florida.
