Perineural Injection Therapy (P.I.T.)

How Does Perineural Injection Therapy Work?

PIT involves a series of small injections of a dextrose (glucose) solution, typically just under the skin along the path of irritated nerves. This low-concentration dextrose (usually 5%) has been shown to calm nerve inflammation and improve the function of nerves that have been injured, compressed, or sensitized due to:

• Trauma

• Repetitive use

• Surgery

• Chronic inflammation

By bathing the nerve endings in this nourishing solution, PIT helps restore normal communication between nerves and tissues, often resulting in immediate pain relief and long-term healing.

 

Conditions Commonly Treated with P.I.T.

• Chronic neck, back, and joint pain

• Headaches and migraines

• Sciatica

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Post-surgical or post-traumatic nerve pain

• Neuropathies

• Tendonitis and repetitive strain injuries

• Pain syndromes not responsive to other treatments

• ​

What to Expect

• Quick and comfortable: Most sessions take 15–30 minutes

• Very fine needles are used just under the skin—no deep tissue injections

• Minimal side effects: Slight redness or swelling at injection sites is possible

• Often immediate relief, with cumulative improvement over multiple sessions

• ​

Is P.I.T. Right for You?

Perineural Injection Therapy is ideal for patients with nerve-related pain, especially if traditional treatments have not provided lasting relief. Because it’s safe, non-invasive, and drug-free, PIT is a great option for those seeking a natural approach to pain management.
