Perineural Injection Therapy

Local inflammatory markers can result in neurogenic inflammation when nerves are injured, damaged or hypersensitive. The over production of inflammatory markers can result in chronic pain, stiffness, swelling, weakness, paresthesia and hypersensitivity to touch. Neurogenic pain may also be a result of chronically tight muscles or fascia, traumatic injury or underlying tendon or ligament dysfunction. PIT can be combined with other standard treatments to address both acute pain as well as underlying causative dysfunction in the deeper connective tissues. 

Initial assessments are standard 60 minute initial appointments in order to complete a full assessment of the affected area as well as general history taking. Follow-up injection appointments are 30 mins to allow frequent re-assessment, monitoring progress and administration of injections. Ideally, injections are administered once weekly for 3-4 weeks, then as needed until symptoms subside.
