Traumeel Injections- Homeopathic remedy for Orthopedic injuries

Traumeel in the Inflammation Cascade

Traumeel Injections

Traumeel is a homeopathic blend of numerous plant and mineral extracts with known healing properties. It is available in various forms including oral tablets, topical cream/gel, and as an injectable. In many countries throughout the world, Traumeel injections are a popular treatment for soft tissue injuries including muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries.

After treating numerous international olympic track and field athletes at our Los Angeles center, we initially learned about the buzz surrounding Traumeel. Unfortunately there is little public awareness in the states about this treatment option, however in professional athletic circles there is great demand and respect for this therapy. Athletes will fly to Europe just for this injection, and are not aware that it is available in the US. The treatment is appealing because of its immediate effects combined with a low side effect profile compared to steroid injections and anti-inflammatory medications.

Inflammation is a natural and vital response to initiate healing after injury. Most new injuries quickly follow with redness, pain & swelling. This is the bodies attempt to repair itself. However, the inflammation phase can be excessive and prolonged, which delays and disrupts healing. By neutralizing the balance of inflamed cells called “cytokines”, Traumeel restores a balance of inflammation to facilitate healing.

Traumeel is injected into tendons, ligaments, muscle, and joints, under ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement. The frequency of treatment is dependent on the extent of the patient’s condition, and ranges from 1-4 injection sessions on a weekly to bimonthly basis. Most patients notice an immediate response after the first injection, though sustaining this improvement may require repeated injections. Our patients have experienced enhanced benefit when combining Traumeel Injection treatments with Osteopathic Manipulation, Game Ready Cryotherapy, and Class IV Laser Therapy. Traumeel can also be used as an adjunct with Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) for particular injuries. Traumeel may provide immediate relief while the PRP gradually begins to coordinate regeneration and repair.
