What is Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT)?

Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT) is a safe and proven, effective treatment for patients dealing with chronic nerve pain. Moreover, chronic nerve pain is often due to trauma, arthritis, sports, overuse, occupational, and surgical injuries. Perineural injection therapy treats inflamed and injured nerves.

That is to say, Perineural injection therapy is a 5% dextrose (glucose) solution that is injected near superficial nerves. The superficial nerves communicate with the deeper nerves and muscles and therefore by treating the superficial nerves, PIT treats the entire muscular-neuro-vascular bundle.

I have an implanted spinal cord stimulator that were done up in New England where I used to live. Literally I had been on a ton of opioids and for years and years and was in and out of work trying therapies, every epidural type injection and then I moved down here. Trevor happened to mention that he was going to get certified in it for a few patients.
