WHAT CONDITIONS BENEFIT FROM THIS THERAPY?
Trigger point injections are best for the treatment and management of pain from:
- Muscle tension

- Tendinitis – knees, elbows, wrists, and shoulders
- Sports injuries and trauma
THE PROCEDURE
First Dr. Mari will assess you and palpate the treatment area to identify trigger points. Next the solution will be injected into those trigger points using a very thin needle. Treatments generally last between 15-25 minutes with very minimal to no discomfort felt by the patient. There is no recovery time and benefits are commonly felt immediately. Best results are seen at the 48hour mark.
WHAT IS IN THE INJECTION?
The injections are a combination of a homeopathic remedy, anesthetic, and sterile water. Traumeel, Zeel, and Spacupreel are natural, homeopathic (meaning highly dilute) solutions of herbs and minerals that work to reduce inflammation, muscle spasms, and pain. Homeopathic remedies, unlike steroids, also heal the damaged or dysfunctional muscle tissue by working with the body to restore balance. Local anesthetic is added to these injections to numbs the injection area initially but also works overtime to restore healthy blood flow to the area.
WHAT ARE TRIGGER POINTS?
Trigger points are areas of sensitive soft tissue where there are “knots” in the muscles. They commonly develop in response to microtrauma or repetitive movements. Trigger points will be tender to compression and can generate referred pain; pain that moves from the point of stimulation to another area of the body. By focusing treatment on these points of disfunction and inflammation we are able to achieve maximum benefit.
IS THIS THERAPY SAFE?
Because this solution is natural and homeopathic it has an unmatched safety profile. There is absolutely no toxicity and there are no-known side effects to these injections. Multiple clinical trials have confirmed its safety and effectiveness over many years. It is the perfect option for those who are sensitive or allergic to prescription NSAIDs or who have little to no results from over the counter pain medication such as ibuprofin, tylenol,etc.
