It is a treatment for neuropathic/neurogenic pain also known as nerve pain. Neuropathic pain is caused by continual compression of the nerve, causing tissue swelling, nerve swelling, and muscle swelling. PIT helps reduce compression of the nerve.
The injection technique is inserting small blebs of dextrose to help numb nerves causing the pain reaction. Injection is more superficial into the tissue and does not go into the nerves. A decrease in pain can last from a few hours to days and increases in length with each treatment.
