AIT (Acupuncture Injection Therapy)Injection therapy has been used widely in China since the 1940s. In fact, the term "Dry Needling" was created by Western doctors to make a difference between using a "dry" acupuncture needle and a syringe filled with fluid to treat muscle and joint pain. In China, this method was originally called "water needle therapy" and was first used to inject herbal extracts. Later, other helpful nutrients were added to restore health. These substances were usually injected into known Acupuncture points, which are connected to specific parts of the body under the skin. In the Acupuncture community, this method is often called Acupuncture Injection Therapy (AIT). Today, many other substances have also been found effective for treating various muscle and joint conditions. Unfortunately, the use of different substances has led to many different names for treatments, even though they all have the same goal. Also, the location where the injection is given has created even more different names, making it seem like these treatments are very different from each other. Over time, individual researchers working separately have also “discovered” similar techniques but named them differently based on their field, viewpoint, or even after themselves. Because of this, many different treatment names (marketing labels) have been created, causing confusion for the public. However, these treatments are essentially the same process and aim to get quicker, more effective results than just using a "dry" needle, or acupuncture. |
The term Biopuncture was first created by German doctors who used plant and mineral extracts in homeopathic form to treat pain and inflammation. Over time, as the field grew, other non-drug substances were added to the original injection methods. No matter what materials are used, Biopuncture is generally used to describe a practice that involves injecting low-dose, non-drug substances to help treat pain in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injections are given into the injured, irritated, or inflamed area. Many clinical studies have shown that this approach is effective, safe, and has few side effects. These treatments can help with many types of pain, both short-term (acute) and long-term (chronic).
