Perineural Injection Therapy
If you suffer from chronic pain, you know how debilitating it can be. Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT) is a minimally invasive treatment for chronic pain that involves injecting a solution of dextrose and anesthetic into the space around nerves. This solution helps to reduce inflammation and relieve pain by providing nutrients to the nerves and promoting healing. Learn more about this promising therapy and how it may help you find relief.
What conditions can be treated with Perineural Injection Therapy?
Perineural Injection Therapy can be used to treat a variety of chronic pain conditions, including neuropathic pain, joint pain, muscle pain, and even migraines. It has been shown to be particularly effective for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis. PIT can also be used as a complementary therapy for conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
What to expect during and after a Perineural Injection Therapy session?
The injections are administered using a tiny needle, and most patients report only minimal discomfort. After the procedure, patients can typically resume their daily activities with little to no downtime. Some patients may experience mild soreness or swelling at the injection site, but this typically resolves on its own within a few days.
