Cortisone injections are commonly used for pain and inflammation of the joints, such as the ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, spine, or wrist. There is a long list of potential side effects from this. Besides that, they often cause a short-term flare-up in pain, swelling, and irritation for up to two days after the injection.
Traditional doctors prescribe surgeries today more than ever. No surgery is risk-free. Some possible risks are a reaction to anesthesia, infection, nerve damage, and blood clots. In severe situations, internal bleeding, septic shock, and even pneumonia can occur. Almost always, after surgery, the doctor will give you a prescription for pain medications, which can lead to addiction.
For these reasons, surgery should only be considered once you’ve tried all noninvasive treatments.
Injection Therapy at Natural Medicine and Detox
Here at Natural Medicine & Detox, we offer a more natural and healthy way to relieve symptoms of pain and inflammation. In addition to acupuncture, we also offer homeopathic injections of Traumeel. Traumeel injections are a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory formulation that has been used for over 60 years and is available in over 50 countries. The immune system has a natural way of protecting and healing our bodies with the right support.
Today’s lifestyle can slow down or overstimulate the immune system through food, environment, or constant stress. These various factors, combined with each person’s unique situation, require a treatment plan with a customized approach.
The formulation of injectable Traumeel is a homeopathic mixture of plants and minerals designed to work with and even alter the body’s natural defense to help reduce pain and swelling. Traumeel has no adverse or harmful side effects on the organs, central nervous system, or drug interactions. Allergic reactions may occur, but are extremely rare.
We offer an ozone intramuscular injection following the Traumeel injection. Studies show that injecting ozone increases oxygen levels in the tissue and encourages healing and growth while mitigating infection. This treatment helps the injectable Traumeel work more efficiently in the affected tissue by adding oxygen, while preventing infection, and providing a positive environment for healing.
Both Traumeel and Ozone are natural approaches to pain management and healing. As with any injection therapy, soreness and minor bruising at the site are natural. However, this alternative is far less invasive to the body.
