Frequently Asked Questions
How do perineural injections work?
The dextrose solution calms irritated nerves by reducing inflammation. This helps relieve pain and promotes healing by creating a more balanced environment for nerve function. The injections target superficial nerves, providing direct pain relief.
Who is a good candidate for perineural injection therapy?
Perineural injections may benefit people with chronic nerve pain, neuropathic pain, musculoskeletal injuries, or joint pain, especially if traditional pain management methods have not been effective. Conditions like sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and chronic back pain are commonly treated with this therapy.
How long do the effects of perineural injections last?
Relief can last from several weeks to several months, depending on the patient and the severity of the condition. Some patients experience long-term pain relief, while others may need maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits.
Are perineural injections painful?
The injections are generally well-tolerated and involve minimal discomfort, as they are administered just beneath the skin. Patients may feel a slight pinch or minor discomfort, but this usually subsides quickly.
Can I return to my usual activities after a perineural injection session?
Yes, most patients can resume normal daily activities immediately after treatment. However, it’s generally advised to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 24 hours to allow the treated area to heal.
