For you athletes or weekend warriors with those aches and pains or even chronic pain sufferers, you might want to consider getting Trigger Point Injections with Traumeel. Take a look at a 2007 study on Traumeel from the journal, Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise.
Study Design:
- 252 professional athletes with various tendinopathies (joint overuse problems)
- Randomized, double blind, three-armed, parallel group clinical trial
- Traumeel ointment/Diclofenac ointment/placebo ointment
Results:
These elite athletes were able to return to their sport 4 days sooner than those who used Diclofenac (an anti-inflammatory similar to Ibuprofen), and, on average 10 days sooner than those who used a placebo.

Trigger Point Injections involve the quick injection of pain relievers and anti-inflammatories like Traumeel into muscle spasms and knots. Injections involve the use of a very fine needle which is injected directly into the involved muscle.
Traumeel is an all-natural homeopathic formula that can promote healing, lower inflammation, and help a number of conditions such as:
- Sports injuries
- Bruises
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle and joint pain
Some of our vitamin IV infusion patients get Traumeel added to their base IVs for chronic pain issues like neck or back pain. I recommend anywhere from 2 to 10 injections for the best results. It takes commitment to change, but when you think about it, a few treatments is a good trade for an opportunity to move without as much pain.
