Chronic Pain Injections (Neural Therapy) In Burnaby
Effective Neural Therapy for Chronic Pain Relief
At Optimal Health Collective, we specialize in neural therapy, a safe and effective injection-based treatment that helps alleviate chronic pain by targeting disruptions in the autonomic nervous system. This innovative approach is particularly beneficial for individuals who have not found relief through conventional treatments.
Chronic pain is long-standing pain that persists beyond the typical recovery time or occurs alongside a chronic health condition, such as hip or shoulder pain. It may come and go unpredictably, making some days manageable while others feel overwhelming. But how can you effectively treat it?
Discover effective chronic pain relief through neural therapy at Optimal Health Collective in Burnaby. Our naturopathic physicians offer personalized treatments tailored to your needs. Neural therapy involves precise injections of anesthetic (procaine or lidocaine) into trigger points, muscles, or scar tissue, helping to reset nerve function and provide long-term relief.
FROM THE NATUROPATHIC VIEWPOINT (NEURAL THERAPY)
Treatment of chronic pain is not one size fits all. It requires a collaborative, integrated team to treat this very complex condition. In naturopathic medicine, the following can be done:
- Nutritional/dietary support – Using an anti-inflammatory diet with anti-inflammatory and pain reducing supplements
- Pharmaceutical intervention – most commonly patients will come in already on pain medication (e.g. gabapentin, muscle relaxants, NSAIDs). Naturopathic physicians have access to prescriptive rights and can compound medications in a specific dosage that can have minimal side effects and be just as effective. A prime example is low dose naltrexone. Naltrexone has been used for decades in other conditions, however more recently a specific low dosage of this pharmaceutical has been proven to reduce neuroinflammation and pain in patients suffering from autoimmune pain disorders (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis) and complex pain syndromes (e.g. fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome)
- Neural therapy – this therapy is the injection of an anesthetic (either procaine or lidocaine) into trigger points, muscles, or scar tissue that are causing pain. The anesthetic will “reset” the nerve by improving their threshold for pain. Over time, the nerve will be less reactive to pain stimulus leading to long term relief of pain. Time-honoured Chinese and medical acupuncture are very operational ways of treating chronic pain! Numerous causes counting lower back pain, slipped disk, frozen shoulder, pressure headaches, migraines, taut muscles, plantar fasciitis, inflammation, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and several neuralgias, can be treated in this manner.
