TRIGGER POINT &
PERINEURAL INJECTION THERAPY
Trigger point injection therapy and perineural injection therapy (PIT) are advanced, non-surgical treatments designed to manage and alleviate chronic pain. These therapies are particularly effective for individuals who have not found relief through conventional pain medications or who prefer to avoid daily pharmaceutical interventions.
Understanding Trigger Point & Perineural Injection Therapies
Trigger Point Injection Therapy uses procaine, a local anesthetic, to release tension in muscle trigger points, commonly known as "knots." These trigger points can cause significant discomfort and restrict movement, and the injections provide targeted relief by relaxing these tight muscle bands.
Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT), on the other hand, involves the use of dextrose, a sugar solution, to soothe irritated nerves and reduce pain signals. PIT is particularly effective for chronic pain, as it addresses the changes in the nervous system that often accompany chronic pain syndromes. One of the key benefits of PIT is its cumulative effect—pain relief builds with each session, offering more substantial results over time.
What to Expect in a Session
Each session lasts about 30 minutes and may include either trigger point injections, PIT, or a combination of both, depending on your specific needs. During the initial phase, treatments are typically scheduled 1-2 times per week for the first 4-6 weeks. As you progress, these sessions can be reduced to maintenance treatments, which might occur monthly, quarterly, or as needed.
Unique Aspects of This Therapy
Trigger Point and Perineural Injection Therapies are novel and cutting-edge treatments in the alternative medicine field. They offer a unique approach to pain management that doesn't rely on daily medications, making them an excellent option for those seeking more natural and sustainable pain relief methods.
Who Can Benefit?
These therapies are ideal for individuals experiencing chronic pain, particularly those with conditions like:
Chronic back and neck pain
Shoulder and hip pain
Migraines and headaches
Jaw tension and TMJ
Patients who have tried pain medications without success, or who prefer to avoid the side effects associated with long-term medication use, may find significant relief through these therapies. I have worked with patients who have suffered from chronic pain for years and experienced remarkable improvement after just a few sessions of PIT.
