Injection therapy
Injection therapy
involves using a needle and syringe to relieve pain by
injecting various substances (i.e. anesthetic, vitamins,
mineral, homeopathics and dextrose) into a person's back,
neck, arms, legs or other body areas. It typically is used
only when less invasive forms of treatment fail to relieve a
patient's symptoms.
During these treatments, medication is injected into the soft
tissues, joints and other areas in and around the source of a
patient's pain. Various types of injection therapy are
available, including:
Neural therapy
-
Homeopathics and anesthetics are used to help relieve
pain.
Prolotherapy - Dextrose
solution is injected into trigger points (areas where pain
is felt) in the fibrous tissue that covers bones. This
triggers an inflammatory response, which causes fibrous
tissue growth that can strengthen the area.
Trigger point
injection - Anesthetic
is injected directly into areas of the body were pain is
present.
