- back pain
- headaches and migraines
- joint or muscle aches or pains
- abdominal cramps or constipation
They can be combined with acupuncture to ease pain.
With acupuncture point injection, you can have the benefits of acupuncture without having to endure needles. The needle should not be painful and it is quick and easy to perform this procedure at home or in the office.
