Special Injection Therapies

Special Injection Therapies

Injection therapies can be introduced when pain or functional limitations are significant despite oral medication or exercise

These are popular therapies as they are Non surgical day procedure (walk in -out) Some are done using a Ultrasound Machine for added safety.

Therapies in the form of

Trigger point injections in the muscles Tendon injections

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injection in the joints

Prolotherapy

Dry needling

Peripheral Nerve Blocks

WHAT IS A TRIGGER POINT?

A tender point in a muscle which produces pain when pressed they are areas of muscle which can feel like a taut band severe trigger points can cause pain when you are not even moving.There is restriction of blood flow to that area causing ischemia andneurogenic inflammation leading to pain

What is a Trigger Point Injection?

It is an injection of local anaesthetic into the painful area of the muscle

The number of injections depends upon the number of trigger points and is usually between 1 and 6

This works by relieving the spasm/ tension in muscles thereby improving blood flow and oxygenation

PRP (PlATELET RICH PLASMA)

Platelets are well-known for their clotting abilities, but they also contain Growth factors which promote healing. PRP injections are used to treat range of musculoskeletal injuries such as Tennis elbow, Jumper’s knee, Osteoarthritis Shoulder, knees, hip, back, Pelvis Post-surgical Healing
As the treatment uses patient’s own blood they have a very big safety margin

PROLOTHERAPY

Prolotherapy is a nonsurgical regenerative injection technique that administers small amounts of an irritant solution to the degenerated part

It initiates a healing process, whereby a local inflammatory cascade is initiated, which triggers the release of growth factors and collagen deposition

Prolotherapy is useful in the treatment of

Overuse injuries

Ligament or tendon dysfunction (sprain, strain, and tendonitis)

Bursitis

Arthritis

Degenerative discs

PERIPHERAL NERVE BLOCKS

There are many conditions where peripheral nerves can be entrapped, inflamed, or damaged (post-surgery/trauma).In these cases, peripheral nerve blocks are performed. These are very effective in relieving patients' pain.

The use of peripheral nerve blocks in multimodal analgesia confers multiple benefits. It improves postoperative pain hastens rapid recovery

DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling is a treatment designed to ease muscular pain Dry needling, is performed by inserting several filiform needles into your skin.

the needles is placed in your muscle or tissue which are knotted or hard.It is a form of intramuscular stimulation.

The needle helps to release the knot and relieve any muscle pain or spasms. The needles will remain in your skin for a short period of time. In-and-out techniques

Some dry needling techniques treat a broader landscape of the central nervous system. here the needles are placed in areas around the point of pain instead of directly on it

This method is often used to treat sports injuries, muscle pain, and even fibromyalgia pain.
