Can local injection therapy stop pain, but can it “get to the root of the problem”?

Many people think that “injection pain relief” can only be temporary, but it will still hurt after the effect of the drug, and more injections will be “addictive”. In fact, a large number of clinical cases show that some pain can be cured by “injection therapy”. So, can pain relief injections remove the root of the pain or not? How to prevent the pain from recurring after the injection has stopped hurting?

The question of whether injection therapy can remove the root of pain cannot be generalized. For most pain of muscular and soft tissue origin, injection therapy can play the role of eliminating inflammation, improving local blood flow, and breaking the vicious cycle of pain, and these pains can be cured through a regular course of treatment.

However, if the cause of pain itself is due to bad habits, such as sedentary, stiff muscles, cold and dampness, heavy strain, etc., and the root cause of these pains is not corrected, then the part of the body where the pain occurs is not free from the “soil” where the pain occurs, and the pain can be relieved or even temporarily cured by treatment. The pain can be relieved for a period of time or even temporarily cured, but it may come back again.

So, how to avoid recurrence of pain after it has been significantly relieved by treatment?

As mentioned above, it is very important to correct bad habits and get rid of the “soil” of pain cultivation. In addition, for recurring chronic pain, we will give recommendations for reasonable rehabilitative exercises that the patient needs to practice consistently. Of course, maintaining regular contact with the pain physician and working together to combat pain is the basis of treatment to avoid recurrence and obtain long-term results.
