Injection Therapy for Health and Wellness

The road to holistic health looks different for everyone.

For many circumstances, however, your doctor might additionally suggest injection therapy to help heal both your body and your mind.

But when people are faced with long-term stress that becomes too much to handle, their adrenal glands can no longer keep up with the body’s needs. When this starts to happen, symptoms of adrenal fatigue may start to appear.
