Biopuncture: An Alternative Treatment to Relieve Pain

Chronic pain is the third most serious health condition after musculoskeletal and cardiovascular problems in Australia. According to Pain Management Research Institute, one in five Australians, including children and adolescents, are dealing with chronic pain. The prevalence is much higher among people over 65 and is estimated to rise to 5 million by 2050.
Due to the ineffectiveness as well as the side effects of conventional treatment, more and more people are now looking for an alternative medicine to find a relief for pain. Amongst others, biopuncture is a rapidly growing alternative therapy used to treat common pain and inflammatory problems through injection-based techniques.

 

What is Biopuncture?

Biopuncture is an injection-based therapy in which small amounts of highly diluted natural products are injected into specific body zones to inhibit inflammatory processes and improve the body’s ability to repair. The majority of the products used in the therapy are drawn from plants to release trigger points and repair damages in a natural way. While it can be used as an alternative therapy when conventional treatments have failed, it is mostly used alongside conventional programs. Using biopuncture along with exercise and physical therapy can give patients endurance, strength and better posture to prevent relapse.

How Does the Treatment Work?

Biopuncture uses plant-based, ultra-diluted formulas which are injected on the specific regions of skin or into muscles to relieve pain and inflammation. With direct injection of medicine into the areas of pain, the treatment generates a much faster healing response than conventional therapies. Unlike conventional medicine, biopuncture does not suppress the symptoms with high dose of chemical substances. Rather, it stimulates the body’s natural healing process to eliminate pain and heal the body.

 

What Conditions Are Usually Treated with Biopuncture

Biopuncture can heal all kinds of pain and inflammation, be that in joints, soft tissues or in the gastrointestinal or respiratory tract. All of these have cells that secrete chemicals and cause pain and inflammation. Patients with the following conditions may particularly benefit with the treatment.
  • ·        Musculoskeletal problems, including joint pain, plantar fasciitis, sprains and strains, tendonitis, shoulder pain, nerve pain, mild to moderate arthritis, back and neck pain, lumbar pain and post-surgery pain.
  • ·     Medical problems, including bronchitis, hay fever, asthma, migraine, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome and sinusitis.

Is Biopuncture Safe?

Biopuncture is far safer than conventional medicine due to the diluted nature of the products. While patients may experience pain and discomfort for a day after the injection, it may subside as the body’s healing process gets stimulated.
