Why Trigger Point Injection (TPI) With
Homeopathic Medication?

 

  • Homeopathy: A system of alternative medicine that uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's self-healing processes.
  • Medication Used: In homeopathic TPIs, the injected solution typically contains very dilute forms of natural substances that are chosen based on the patient's specific symptoms and overall health.

 

  • Identification: The physician identifies the trigger point(s) through palpation or patient feedback.
  • Preparation: The homeopathic solution is prepared, which may include substances like Arnica, Traumeel, or other homeopathic remedies.
  • Injection: Using a thin needle, the physician injects the solution directly into the trigger point.

 

  • Pain Relief: Reduction in muscle pain and discomfort.
  • Improved Mobility: Eases muscle tension, improving range of motion.
  • Minimal Side Effects: Homeopathic solutions are generally well-tolerated with a low risk of side effects.

 

  • Musculoskeletal Pain: Commonly used for back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain.
  • Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Helps in managing chronic pain associated with this condition

Trigger Point Injections May Help with These Symptoms

Tender To Touch

Trigger points are sensitive areas within the muscle that hurt when pressed.

Referred Pain

Pain often radiates from the trigger point to other areas, which can make it challenging to identify the exact source of discomfort.

Muscle Stiffness

These points can cause muscle stiffness, reducing range of motion and flexibility.

Persistent Pain

Pain from trigger points can be constant and can worsen with use of the affected muscle.
