request an appointmentHow are homeopathic injections different from other types of pain management?
Homeopathic injections aim to relieve foot and ankle pain caused by various problems. Instead of relying on prescription medication, like corticosteroids, these injections contain natural substances that act as healing remedies.
When injected into strategic places, like the heel or sole, these remedies may stimulate your body’s healing process. Specifically, they could increase blood flow to the treatment site, open physiologic pathways necessary for healing, and relieve pain and inflammation.
What types of foot and ankle problems can benefit from homeopathic injections?
The North Central Texas Foot & Ankle team uses homeopathic injections to address several common foot and ankle problems, including:
- Heel pain
- Neuropathy (nerve damage)
- Achilles tendon pain
- Ankle sprains
- Plantar fasciitis
- Neuromas
- Sports injuries
Sometimes, the team prescribes homeopathic injections to treat foot and ankle inflammation caused by osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis.
How do homeopathic injections work?
The North Central Texas Foot & Ankle team offers various homeopathic injections, such as Traumeel®. Traumeel is a natural healing remedy that contains several plant-based ingredients, including arnica, calendula, and chamomile.
When injected into strategic areas, Traumeel may relieve pain and inflammation, promote tissue repair, and improve blood flow. Combined, these factors speed healing, reduce swelling and stiffness, and help you return to your routine.
Because homeopathic injections don’t contain chemicals or prescription drugs, they may be much safer than other treatments for foot and heel pain. What’s more, the botanicals complement your body’s healing process so you can get back on your feet.
What can I expect from treatment with homeopathic injections?
Homeopathic injection treatment is on an outpatient basis, averaging 30-60 minutes.
Before recommending injections, your North Central Texas Foot & Ankle provider reviews your medical records, asks about your symptoms, and completes an exam. After pinpointing the source of your foot or ankle pain, they make personalized treatment recommendations.
For example, if you have tendonitis or another sports injury, your provider might prescribe Traumeel injections to help you return to play. If you have plantar fasciitis, a type of chronic heel pain, they might recommend homeopathic injections to reduce pain and inflammation.
Do homeopathic injections provide instant pain relief?
The time it takes for homeopathic injections to work depends on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Some people experience instant relief after just one injection, but for others, it takes several appointments spaced a week or two apart.
