Trigger Point Injection

Trigger Point Injection is an alternative treatment that targets the root cause of the pain. It can be divided into many types, such as neural therapy, trigger point injection integrated with acupuncture, and homeopathic therapy.

1. Trigger point injection of Neural Therapy

The technique was initiated by Dr. Huneke in Germany. Anesthetic is injected at the nerve to directly treat pain or other symptoms at the targeted area. The injection does not only suppress the pain, it also re-sets the nerve functions, like pressing the restart button of a computer.

Neural therapy can treat the following symptoms:

• Headache

• Migraine

• Neuropathic pain

• Vertigo

With Neural Therapy, anesthetic is injected at the nerve right at the targeted area. 

2. Trigger point injection integrated with acupuncture

The injection points are in accordance to the Chinese acupuncture principles. For example, from the pulse rate, the physician can detect the exhaustion from the patient due to weak heart muscle. The injection is done at the acupuncture point that affects the heart. With additional medications and vitamins, this injection works better than just acupuncture.

3. Homeopathic Therapy

Homeopathic medicine is based on the natural extracts from plants, animals and minerals. They are diluted in order to reduce concentration levels. However, the therapeutic properties are fortified. Then, the homeopathic medicines are injected. This method is suitable for pain treatment, such as neck pain, back pain, joint pain and more.

Do note that the physician determines the applied techniques and injection times according to the symptoms and conditions of each patient.
