Perineural Injection Treatment (PIT) in Tarlac
Perineural Injection Treatment (PIT) is a minimally invasive therapy designed to relieve chronic nerve pain by targeting inflamed or irritated peripheral nerves. Chronic nerve pain can significantly interfere with daily activities, sleep, mobility, and overall quality of life.
At Tarlac Medical Center, we provide PIT as part of our comprehensive pain management services. Our goal is to reduce inflammation, calm hypersensitive nerves, and restore normal nerve function through precise and targeted therapy.
This treatment is particularly helpful for patients experiencing persistent pain that has not responded well to oral medications or physical therapy alone.
Understanding Chronic Nerve Pain
- Burning or shooting pain
- Tingling or numbness
- Hypersensitivity to touch
- Muscle weakness
- Persistent discomfort along nerve pathways
Peripheral nerves can become irritated or inflamed due to injury, repetitive strain, surgery, metabolic conditions, or compression. Unlike muscle pain, neuropathic pain originates from nerve dysfunction and often requires specialized treatment. PIT directly addresses nerve inflammation at its source.
Conditions Treated
- Chronic neuropathic pain
- Sciatica
- Peripheral nerve irritation
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Post-surgical nerve pain
- Carpal tunnel-related nerve discomfort
- Neck and lower back nerve pain
Each patient undergoes a thorough assessment to determine if PIT is appropriate for their specific condition.
How Perineural Injection Treatment Works
- Reduces inflammatory chemicals around the nerve
- Improves blood flow to irritated nerve tissue
- Stabilizes nerve membranes
- Supports natural healing processes
PIT involves injecting small amounts of a carefully selected solution around affected peripheral nerves. Because injections are placed just beneath the skin along nerve pathways, the procedure is minimally invasive and low risk.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Outpatient procedure with no hospital admission required
- Fine needle injections around targeted nerves
- Session lasts 15–30 minutes
- Minimal discomfort during treatment
After treatment, patients may resume normal activities shortly after. Mild soreness at injection sites may occur temporarily, and pain relief may develop gradually over several sessions.
Benefits of PIT
- Minimally invasive therapy
- Low risk of complications
- No need for surgery
- Short treatment sessions
- Reduced reliance on oral pain medications
- Improved mobility and function
PIT is often integrated with rehabilitation, posture correction, and lifestyle modification to maximize long-term results.
Recovery and Treatment Plan
- Monitoring of pain intensity changes
- Tracking functional improvement
- Assessment of range of motion
- Evaluation of activity tolerance
The number of sessions varies depending on severity. Treatments may be scheduled weekly or biweekly, and individualized plans are created to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
