Natural Pain Injection Therapy
Inflammation serves a purpose, as a natural response of the body to injury. However, excessive inflammation can lead to pain and stiffness and prevent proper healing. Utilizing homeopathic injections with Traumeel, Zeel offer a safe treatment with no side effects to reduce inflammation, relieve symptoms, and allow natural healing to occur. We also use Procaine in combination with these homeopathic injections for optimal effect.
What Are Traumeel/Zeel Injections?
Traumeel and Zeel are two homeopathic formulations based on mineral extracts that have been widely used in sports medicine. Injections of a combination of Traumeel and Zeel have been shown to:
Reduce pain and inflammation within connective tissue and cartilage
Reduce stiffness and improve function of the joint
Improve synovial fluid surrounding an arthritic joint
Traumeel and Zeel solutions were developed by doctors in Europe using very low dosages of plant and mineral extracts. These medications have been available globally for more than 60 years. While exhibiting an excellent safety profile, Traumeel/Zeel injections help manage joint degeneration, pain, and inflammation associated with arthritis.
What is Procaine?
Procaine, is a synthetic compound derived from para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), a compound found in certain plants and animals. It is chemically synthesized by esterifying PABA with diethylaminoethanol, resulting in the formation of procaine hydrochloride, which is the salt form commonly used in medical applications. It can also be used very successfully to remodel scar tissue (please see page on Neural Therapy)

Study of Traumeel/Zeel Treatment Results
Heel, the makers of Traumeel and Zeel, announced the findings of a double blind, controlled clinical trial conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of Traumeel/Zeel injections into the joint.
The study involved 232 patients with knee pain, 45 to 80 years of age, who received injections of either Traumeel and Zeel or a placebo. Researchers found that Traumeel/Zeel injections reduced the pain of knee osteoarthritis by more than 60 percent.
