What is Biopuncture?

Biopuncture is an exciting technique where the physician injects ultra-low doses of mostly botanical extracts locally to specific areas of pain or inflammation.

Who Would Benefit from Biopuncture?

Many people could benefit from Biopuncture who have suffered from long-term painful and/or inflammatory conditions such as chronic pain, muscle spasm, headaches, allergies and asthma.

How Does Biopuncture Work?

Biopuncture stimulates the immune system surrounding the affected area. For example, someone with chronic shoulder pain would receive Biopuncture to the shoulder area. These injections not only to help relieve pain but also help to stimulate healing of the tissues surrounding the shoulder. As another example, someone with asthma would receive Biopuncture just under the skin above the lungs (not in the lungs) to help reduce chronic inflammation that can cause asthma symptoms.

Is Biopuncture Safe?

Yes. Most of the injections are done just under the surface of the skin (known as subcutaneous) or sometimes into the muscle (intramuscular (IM)) or deeper. To compare, immunizations are done intramuscularly. And of course, the physician giving the Biopuncture injections are well-trained. Also, the substances used for injection are given in very low doses so there is a very small chance of side effects and if there are side effects, they are generally very minor.

Is Biopuncture Effective?

Yes, because Biopuncture works to treat the cause of chronic pain and inflammation. Most conventional treatments such as anti-inflammatory drugs only suppress the chronic pain and inflammation, but do nothing to promote healing.
