What is a typical treatment?
Treatment starts with a consultation to take a medical history and to rule out any contraindications for the vitamin b12 injection. The clinician will use a small needle to inject into your shoulder muscle and the injection itself only takes a few seconds. We recommend a loading dose of 6 sessions spaced out over 2-3 weeks, followed by top up injections every 2-3 months. This method is the most beneficial and you are much more likely to feel the benefits than having just a once off session. Appointments are finished within 10 minutes and you are free to go on with your day! If you would like your Vitamin B12 Levels checked before beginning treatment you should consider having a Vitamin B12 level blood test that we also offer as one of our services.
