Point Injection Therapy

---

Trigger points, or areas of tension and pain in the muscles, joints, or connective tissue (fascia, tendons, ligaments), can be so persistent and pervasive. Point injection finds these muscles, tissues or joints, and infuses safe medicinals, such as high-powered anti-inflammatory agents like glutathione, B-12, lidocaine.

The needle is very small for hypodermic needles, the size of a diabetic insulin needle. Usually patients feel a brief pinch, then a little pressure, then immediate relaxation of the area, followed by pain relief.

This modality has a wide range of applications, most commonly are:

Headaches, migraines

Neck and shoulder pain

Low back pain, sciatica

Knee pain, hip pain, ankle pain 

Abdominal pain, IBS

Any spasmed muscles

Joints that are inflamed

Your practitioner will likely use 2-3 of the following for your Point Injection: 

• Lidocaine - pain relief, deactivates trigger points + Traumeel + B12

• Glutathione - antioxidant, liver detox pathway support, chronic fatigue, lyme, EBV

• B Complex - metabolic processes, immune function, nervous system support

• B12 - nerve healing, energy, regulate, cleanse, nervous system functioning. 

• Traumeel - cortisone shot alternative.  + gelsemium + zeel + B12 + lidocaine. 

• Gelsemium - nerve pain - neuralgias, sciatica, migraines. + traumeel + lidocaine for pain relief. 

Soon we will offer the following as well:

• Engystol - immune, viral, herpes prevention/acute

 • Zeel - degenerative pain - inflammation, cartilage protective, OA, RA. + traumeel.  

Point Injection is very safe with the type of ingredients we use.  Safest practice is max 1-2x/week with acute injuries, and 1x/week for chronic. Unlike steroid injections, Point Injection can be used with impunity (at the discretion of your provider)
