Perineural injection treatments-A drug-free way to treat pain
Bethany Sprague
Ignite Vitality, USA
T
his research includes the targeting of the peripheral nervous system and turning off pain with Perineural
Injection Treatments (PIT). PIT is near nerve micro injections of a sugar solution called dextrose. This
dextrose changes the firing pattern of the nerves and shuts down the ability to make hormones that cause pain.
It is regenerative to the nervous system. This powerful treatment was created by a New Zealand physician John
Lyftogt. Our team at Ignite Vitality was personally trained by Dr Lyftogt and completed master level certification.
PIT is also known as Neural Prolotherapy (NPT). This lecture will go in depth on mechanism of action of
dextrose on nervous system. Most people need multiple PIT treatments (average 3-4) for long lasting benefits, but
each treatment can decrease the inflammation produced by the nerves and STOP pain. One of the most rewarding
things about my job is people know immediately whether we hit the right peripheral nerves because the pain is
immediately gone. Migraines halted.... standing on legs that feel “normal” for the first time in decades without
limping, low back pain gone, frozen shoulder with full range of motion....hip bursitis gone...... The list could go
on and on, but perhaps now you can see why my patients look at me in disbelief and say “The pain is gone!” PIT
works well for just about any painful condition, we just have to find the right nerves and shut them down with
dextrose. Not just for chronic pain, I have also used it for treating acute injuries and the reduction of pain and
swelling has been rapid.
