Injections
Given by clinicians, after a health review
We offer injections based on what a patient actually needs, and the review comes first. Our medical team looks at your health history, your current medications and, where it is relevant, your recent lab work before giving anything.
That order matters more than it might sound. Wellness injections are sold widely on the basis of the symptom rather than the cause, and fatigue in particular has a long list of possible explanations: thyroid disease, iron deficiency, poor sleep, depression, blood sugar problems, medication side effects and genuine B12 deficiency all present the same way. Injecting B12 into someone whose problem is an underactive thyroid achieves nothing except a delay.
Where an injection is the right answer, it is a straightforward and effective way of delivering a nutrient. Where it is not, we would rather test and find out what is.
What we offer
The injections available here
Each of these has a specific purpose. Follow the link for what it does and who it suits.
Why an injection instead of a tablet
For most nutrients, most of the time, food and oral supplements are the sensible route and an injection adds cost without adding benefit. There are specific circumstances where injection genuinely is better, and they are worth naming.
The clearest is impaired absorption. Vitamin B12 needs intrinsic factor, produced in the stomach, in order to be absorbed from the gut. Patients with pernicious anaemia, with atrophic gastritis, who have had gastric or intestinal surgery, or who take long-term metformin or acid-suppressing medication may absorb very little of what they swallow regardless of the dose. Injection bypasses that problem entirely.
The second is a genuine deficiency that needs correcting quickly rather than gradually. Where blood work shows a real shortfall with symptoms attached, injection restores levels faster than diet or tablets will.
What we will tell you honestly
Some of what is marketed under the heading of wellness injections is better described as expensive urine. If your levels are normal and your diet is adequate, topping up a nutrient you already have enough of does not produce a benefit. We will say that rather than sell you a course.
Equally, where testing shows a real deficiency, correcting it can make a substantial difference to how someone feels, and it is worth doing properly.
How it fits with the rest of your care
Injections are often one part of something broader. MIC-Lipo belongs inside a weight management plan rather than beside it. Persistent fatigue usually deserves the full workup our primary care service provides, and where the cause turns out to be hormonal, hormone optimization is the relevant treatment. Any of these can run alongside chiropractic care if you are already a patient here.
The National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements publishes independent fact sheets on vitamin requirements and deficiency.
What happens at the appointment
You describe what you are trying to address. We go through your medical history, your current medications and supplements, and any lab work you have had recently. Where testing would answer the question better than an injection would, we order it, and where an injection is clearly appropriate we give it there and then.
The injection itself takes moments and is given into a muscle, usually the upper arm or the outer thigh. Most people feel a brief sting and nothing else. Some tenderness at the site over the following day is normal and settles without treatment.

FAQ
Injection questions
Are they safe?
They are given by our medical team and your health history is reviewed first, because what is appropriate depends on your medications, your conditions and sometimes your lab work.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. Booking lets our team assess what you need rather than handing over what you asked for by name.
How often?
It depends on the injection and on you. B12 is commonly given anywhere from weekly to monthly depending on levels, diet and symptoms.
Will a shot fix my energy?
Only if the cause is a deficiency the injection corrects. Fatigue has many causes, so testing is more useful than guessing.
Not sure which one you need?
Book an appointment and we will work out whether an injection is the right answer at all.
