Perineural Injection Therapy
Gentle Relief for Chronic Pain and Nerve Irritation
Perineural Injection Therapy is a natural, non-surgical treatment designed to calm irritated nerves and reduce pain at its source. Using a simple sugar solution (dextrose), these injections are placed just under the skin along the pathways of key nerves. This gentle therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation, block pain signaling, and support natural nerve healing—helping patients find relief and restore function.
How Perineural Injections Work
When nerves become irritated, inflamed, or compressed, they send pain signals that lead to chronic discomfort and restricted movement. Perineural injections address this by:
- Delivering dextrose solution just beneath the skin, overlying the painful nerves
- Calming inflammation and nourishing the nerves at a cellular level
- Interrupting pain signaling so the body can reset and begin healing
- Supporting the nerves’ natural repair process over time
- Unlike deeper joint injections, these are very superficial and well-tolerated—making them a gentle yet powerful option for chronic pain.

What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation & Assessment – We determine which nerves are contributing to your pain.
- Injections – Using a very fine needle, small amounts of dextrose are injected just under the skin along the nerve pathways.
- Relief – The first session may bring relief lasting a few hours to a few days. With repeated treatments, pain relief becomes longer-lasting.
- Series of Sessions – Most patients require 4–6 weekly treatments. For many, this gradually reduces or eliminates pain completely.
