Targeted Acupoint Injections for Pain Management and Wellness
Sol Acupuncture offers Acupuncture Injection Therapy, also known as Acupoint Injection Therapy or Biopuncture, as part of an integrative approach to health and wellness.
This specialized technique combines traditional acupuncture point selection with small injections of therapeutic substances into carefully selected areas of the body. Treatment is individualized based on your health history, symptoms, and wellness goals.
Injection Menu
Homeopathic Injection Therapy
Homeopathics are based on the principle that “like cures like.” They are made from natural sources of plants and minerals and are environmentally friendly and cruelty-free. Homeopathic remedies are safe because of the amount of dilution that occurs to the ingredients.
The homeopathic injections at Sol Acupuncture:
Traumeel and Procaine: Used for trauma and injury.
Zeel: Used for arthritis and chronic pain.
Spascupreel: Used for muscle spasms and tension.
Engystol: Used for immune boosting; an alternative to a flu shot.
Collagen and Placenta: Combined for facial injections to lessen deep lines and wrinkles.
All of these options are incredibly safe, even while taking pharmaceuticals, and are a great addition to treatments, as well as being used individually.
Vitamin Injection Menu
Glutathione — $40
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally found in the body. It's composed of three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. This molecule plays a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. It also supports various bodily functions, including detoxification, immune system support, and the metabolism of fats and proteins.
Some of its key functions include:
Antioxidant Defense: Glutathione neutralizes harmful free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause cell damage and contribute to aging and diseases.
Detoxification: It helps the liver detoxify by binding to harmful substances and aiding their excretion.
Immune System Support: Glutathione is involved in maintaining healthy immune function, supporting the body's defense against infections.
Cellular Health: It plays a role in maintaining the integrity and function of cells, especially in areas with high metabolic activity like the liver.
Because of its potential benefits, glutathione is often used in skincare products, supplements, and even as a treatment for conditions like liver disease, certain types of cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.
“Skinny Shot” Lipotropic & Detox Injections — $40
MIC Injection: Methionine, Inositol, Choline
Lipotropic injections are a collection of nutrients that facilitate fat metabolism and encourage liver detoxification. This makes lipotropic injections a great addition to any dietary wellness program to assist your body's ability to detox and metabolize fat more efficiently.
If the liver is damaged by toxins or overwhelmed with excessive metabolic tasks, it will be less able to process fats and other metabolites.
Naturally occurring “lipotropes” such as choline, inositol, and methionine specifically target fat to burn for energy while also keeping the liver healthy.
It's like giving the liver more of the tools it needs to do its job when it is bogged down.
This can help normalize insulin levels, control elevated cholesterol levels, and help with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Vitamin B12 Injections — $30
1 mg Potency
Vitamin B12 is a key nutrient for supporting sleep health, mental health, liver metabolism, overall nervous system function, and general energy support.
A great option for individuals who are looking for more energy during the day, have a known Vitamin B12 deficiency, or maybe just want a break from their normal caffeine routine.
Some medications, certain medical conditions, and the normal aging process can lead to a potential B12 deficiency.
We offer both hydroxycobalamin and methylcobalamin forms to support your genetic pathways if you have known genetic predispositions to certain metabolic responses.
Vitamin B Complex Injections — $30
Our B-Complex Injection contains all of your other B vitamins commonly found in a B-Complex supplement: Thiamine, Niacinamide, Pyridoxine, Riboflavin, and Dexpanthenol.
B vitamins support the proper functioning of the body's cells. They assist in the process of converting food into energy (metabolism), creating new blood cells, and maintaining healthy skin cells, brain cells, and other body tissues, such as the nervous system.
Therefore, Vitamin B-Complex injections can be a great addition for anyone looking for that extra boost to their workout, dealing with stress and overwork in the short term, or aiding any detox or weight loss support plans.
They can even be useful when transitioning off various medications, including antidepressant or anti-anxiety medications.
B-Complex can easily be added to Vitamin B12 injections for even more of an energetic boost.
Understanding Injection Therapy

General Info
Acupuncture Injection Therapy is a technique in which small amounts of selected substances are injected directly into acupuncture points or targeted areas of the body.
Unlike traditional acupuncture, which uses fine, solid needles without injecting substances, acupoint injection therapy uses a sterile injection needle to administer a specific solution.
Depending on the treatment and individual needs, substances may include certain vitamins, local anesthetics, or other appropriately selected injectable preparations.
Traditional Chinese Medicine considers patterns of symptoms, lifestyle, and overall health when developing a treatment plan. Acupuncture may be used on its own or alongside conventional medical care.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a technique that uses thin needles to target muscles and areas of tension, often with the goal of addressing musculoskeletal discomfort and improving movement.
Although dry needling and acupuncture share some tools and techniques, they may differ in their underlying assessment methods and treatment approaches.
Pain
Acupuncture is commonly used as a complementary approach to managing pain, including certain forms of chronic pain, back and neck discomfort, and joint pain.
Treatment plans are tailored to each patient's symptoms, medical history, and individual needs. Some people seek acupuncture as part of a broader approach that may include physical therapy, exercise, or conventional medical treatment.
-
Acupuncture Injection Therapy is explored in integrative healthcare for several purposes, including:
Muscle and Joint Discomfort: Targeted approaches for patients seeking additional options for musculoskeletal discomfort.
Neck, Back, and Shoulder Pain: Acupoint injections may be considered as part of an individualized pain management plan.
Muscle Tension and Trigger Points: Treatment directed toward specific areas of localized muscular discomfort.
Wellness Support: Certain vitamin injections may be offered when appropriate based on individual health needs.
Clinical research on acupoint injection therapy remains limited, and effectiveness has not been established for many conditions. Treatment is not a replacement for necessary medical care.
-
During your appointment, your practitioner evaluates your symptoms and identifies appropriate treatment points.
After preparing the skin, a small amount of the selected injectable solution is administered using a sterile needle.
The treatment approach draws on traditional acupuncture point selection while incorporating injection techniques. The effects depend on the substance used, the injection site, and the individual patient.
-
Your visit begins with a review of your health history, current symptoms, medications, allergies, and treatment goals.
Sarah will explain the recommended injection, discuss potential risks and alternatives, and determine whether the procedure is appropriate.
Depending on the treatment, patients may experience temporary soreness, redness, or bruising at the injection site. Other risks can include infection, allergic reactions, and substance-specific adverse effects.
-
No. Traditional acupuncture involves placing fine needles into specific points without injecting a substance. Acupuncture Injection Therapy introduces a small amount of a selected solution into targeted points.
-
Patients may experience a brief pinch or pressure during the injection. Sensitivity varies depending on the treatment area and individual.
-
The number and frequency of appointments depend on your symptoms, treatment goals, response, and the clinical assessment. Some patients may be evaluated for a series of treatments, while others may require a different approach.
-
All injections carry risks. Appropriate practitioner training, sterile technique, careful selection of injectable substances, and individualized screening are essential. Sarah will discuss the potential benefits, limitations, and risks before treatment.
