Trigger Point injections

Trigger Point injections are great for people who have tried Dry Needling and want an extra boost to their treatment. Imagine a super Dry Needling (called wet needling!) treatment. Trigger point injections can be used to treat tight muscles, muscle knots, and trigger points. We typically use one or a combination of the following:

Saline bacteriostatic 0.9% sodium chloride, lidocaine 1%, methylcobalamin B12, and Traumeel (anti-inflammatory herbal formula)

These injections help to hydrate the muscle, help with pain, decrease nerve inflammation, and decrease several inflammatory cytokines. It is generally recommended to come in for trigger point injections once to twice weekly for at least two weeks in a row. Then your practitioner will devise a prognosis and maintenance plan for you. If you have a job or do a sport or activity that involves repetitive motions of any sort, it is highly recommended to continue treatment ongoing at some maintenance level depending on how long your relief lasts for and how intense your activity is (could be once weekly ongoing, or could be as little as once every six weeks).

Traumeel for injuries

Traumeel® Injection Solution is an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-edematous, anti-exudative combination formulation of 12 botanical ingredients, 1 mineral substance, and 1 animal-derived substance. Traumeel does not work on enzyme inhibition such as NSAID drugs do. Instead, Traumeel helps stimulate the immune system and reduces inflammatory mediators such as IL-1 and neuropeptides. In-vitro studies show that there is no toxicity to surrounding tissues, only oxygenation to reduce free radicals and a release of anti-inflammatory cells. 

The anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-edematous, and anti exudative effects of Traumeel® Injection Solution have been demonstrated in clinical trials as well as in-vivo experimental models including the carrageenin-induced edema test and the adjuvant arthritis test.
