Biomesotherapy & Biopuncture in Townsville

What is Biomesotherapy?

Biomesotherapy (also known as Biopuncture) uses saline injections that have been used since 1831 to rehydrate and detoxify the body as well as administer medicines. The saline may contain minuscule amounts of homeopathic remedies such as arnica (a known pain reliever and anti-inflammatory). It is one of the fastest ways to efficiently deliver moisture and medications throughout the body.

Biomesotherapy works by stimulating the body's own ability to heal itself. Both homeopathic medicines and acupuncture work by stimulating the body to have an immune response that combats specific problems.

How Biomesotherapy Works

Before you are treated, your naturopath may give you a general physical to determine what types of homeopathic remedies will best treat your condition. They will also examine your hands, tongue and other parts of the body to determine your trigger points.

During the session, the homeopathic medicine is administered via fine, virtually painless saline injections into specific trigger point areas. The needles are very fine and quite painless — most people feel only a tiny pricking feeling as they are inserted under the skin.

A treatment session typically consists of a series of injections focused on one or two trigger point areas. The needles are not generally spread out all over the body as can be the case with traditional acupuncture.

Benefits of Biomesotherapy

The main benefit is that, true to the principles of both homeopathy and ancient Chinese medicine, the source of the pain is treated and not just the symptoms. Many people experience relief after just one session.

Biomesotherapy can be used in place of pain relief medications, especially when it comes to muscle strains and soft tissue injuries. Treatments can be used in place of pain relief medications, which is very good news for those who are at risk of becoming dependent on painkillers.

What to Expect

Some people experience mild soreness or bruising at the injection site, which is normal and typically resolves within a day or two. Many people feel relaxed and pleasantly tired after treatment — it is recommended you rest afterwards so your body can repair itself.
