Biopuncture: A Unique and Effective Treatment for Pain
What is Biopuncture?
Biopuncture is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive therapy used in the treatment of acute or chronic pain. It involves using a very fine needle to inject small amounts of natural remedies into trigger points or areas of pain. The injections are done superficially under the skin rather than deep into the tissue, so minimal pain is involved.
How Does Biopuncture Work?
Biopuncture helps reduce pain and promotes and accelerates the process of repair and recovery from injuries or chronic pain. Unlike conventional pain medications or injectables that only suppress the pain signals and require constant use, Biopuncture stimulates the natural healing process and ‘wakes up’ healing mechanisms in the body. The healing effect comes from inside your body, not from the products themselves.
What Conditions Can Be Treated With Biopuncture?
- Acute or chronic pain
- Back pain
- Disc herniations
- Joint pain/arthritis

- Carpal tunnel syndrome
What Injectables Are Used in Biopuncture?
There are several different homeopathic injectables used either alone or in combination and customized for the proper treatment approach for your pain. The most commonly used injectable is Traumeel, which has an anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Some of the most common homeopathic injectable products and their indications are listed below.
Traumeel is used for the treatment of acute pain and inflammation in sports injuries (such as strains and sprains) and for chronic conditions) such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, neck and back pain, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, tendonitis, knee pain, and muscle pain). It decreases inflammation, increases circulation, and works as an analgesic to reduce pain while promoting the natural healing process.
Zeel treats mild to moderate pain associated with osteoarthritis, joint stiffness, and chronic inflammatory conditions.
Spascupreel relieves tight muscles and spasms anywhere in the body (including abdominal and menstrual cramps, spasmodic cough, intestinal colic) and for acute or chronic muscle tension and spasms causing acute neck and shoulder pain.
Neuralgo Rheum treats neuralgia (nerve pain) and rheumatism of the soft tissues, intervertebral disc conditions (pain from disc herniations), exhaustion, and debility. It also helps with joint disorders like chronic arthritis.
Lymphomyosot treats swelling due to poor circulation, as well as minor injuries (sprained ankle).
How many treatments are required, and what can I expect after a Biopuncture treatment?
After a Biopuncture treatment, it’s not unusual to feel immediate relief from a simple sports injury or tight muscles or spasms. In more chronic conditions, it may take 3-4 treatments for the pain to begin to improve. The best results are achieved with treatments that are administered weekly for 3-6 treatments. The pain relief typically improves more and more with each treatment. Treatment is individualized according to the condition being treated and the patient’s specific needs.
