Traumeel Injections are highly sought after natural, homeopathic treatments for conditions that cause painful inflammation. Traumeel is a botanical extract that was largely unrecognized as an injection type of remedy in the United States for over 80 years; athletes would often travel to Europe to receive such care for sports injuries. Traumeel is primarily composed of arnica montana root, a plant extract that is commonly found in tablets and creams to relieve pain and inflammation.
The body’s immune system begins its response to injury with inflammation. The swelling and warmth experienced at an injured site is caused by increased blood flow to an area, diffusing from blood vessels into the damaged tissue. The body does this to transport immune system cells to the infection or injury site to begin killing foreign material and repairing body cells. This would be an effective means of beginning the healing process, but our bodies often overreact, developing excess heat and swelling that could last long enough to reverse any helpful effects. Traumeel is an agent found in nature that not only reduces swelling, but balances it to promote its benefits.
Traumeel Injections treat a variety of musculoskeletal inflammation based conditions. Soft tissue injuries respond best to Traumeel treatment, including muscles, ligaments, tendons and trigger points. It is most helpful to those who experience chronic inflammation, like athletes who may have a weak area or body part that they overuse during performance. Some common conditions that may benefit from Traumeel injections are:
Traumeel Injections are homeopathic treatments, meaning the medicinal agent is completely derived from minerals found in nature. Because the solution is mostly plant based, there are little to no side effects, including allergic reactions which are extremely rare. The absence of other effects makes Traumeel an anti-inflammatory treatment that can be used as often as necessary.
Corticosteroids, though safe when used appropriately, may include adverse side effects such as muscle weakness, slow wound healing, increased blood pressure, elevated glucose, loss of potassium, or loss of bone mass and/or cartilage with continuous injections. Corticosteroids are typically only used once every 3-6 months due to possible adverse effects on the body. Because Traumeel is composed of natural agents, it does not have negative adverse effects on the body with repetitive injections.
