Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT)
Restoring neural function and silencing chronic pain at the source of nerve irritation.
Neurogenic Pain Relief
Effectively shuts down "neurogenic inflammation" by calming hyper-sensitized small nerves.
Nerve Energy Reset
Restores the metabolic fuel supply to nerves, preventing them from firing pain signals unnecessarily.
Targeted Regulation
Addresses the "neuropathic" component of musculoskeletal pain, providing relief where other treatments fail.
Functional Freedom
Reduces muscle guarding and stiffness by normalizing the neural signals that control muscle tone.
Key Information
" Gentle: Uses a 5% dextrose solution, acting as a natural metabolic "off-switch" for pain."
" Superficial: Targets the thin cutaneous nerves located just beneath the skin."
" Rapid Response: Patients often experience a significant reduction in pain within minutes of the first injection."
🧠 Neural Optimization
Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT), also known as Neural Prolotherapy, is a safe and effective treatment for chronic pain. It focuses on treating "neurogenic inflammation"—a condition where sensory nerves become chronically irritated and release pro-inflammatory substances.
By injecting a low-concentration dextrose solution around these nerves, PIT provides immediate nutrition to the nerve cells, effectively "resetting" their pain-producing mechanism.
1. The Science of PIT
The mechanism of PIT is elegantly simple yet biologically profound:
- Nerve Irritation: Small nerves can become trapped or compressed as they pass through fascia or muscle (Chronic Constriction Injury).
- Glucose Depletion: These irritated nerves run out of glucose, causing their electrical "pumps" to malfunction.
- Dextrose Infusion: The 5% dextrose injection replenishes the nerve's energy stores.
- Calibration: The nerve instantly stops releasing pain-inducing chemicals (Substance P and CGRP).
2. What can PIT Treat?
PIT is highly versatile and effective for various neuropathic pain syndromes:
- Chronic Nerve Pain: Sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and diabetic neuropathy.
- Persistent Joint Pain: When pain persists even after joint structural repair.
- Face & Head Pain: Tension headaches, migraines, and trigeminal neuralgia.
- Post-Surgical Pain: Pain remaining at surgical sites or scar tissue.
Safety Profile
PIT is exceptionally safe. The solution used is natural (dextrose), and the injections are shallow. It is a preferred option for patients sensitive to stronger medications or surgical interventions.
