Periarticular Treatments For Joint Pain

Zeel was developed by world renowned German physician/researcher Dr. H. Reckeweg and is used worldwide. It is made up of 15 natural active ingredients (Mostly amino acids, minerals and botanicals) intended to provide relief of arthritic symptoms and promote the regeneration of healthy connective tissue function.

ZeelIn a recent study Zeel acu-injections where found to be more effective than cox-1 and cox-2 inhibitors and with excellent tolerability. Periarticular means around the joint and that’s exactly where the acu-injections are administered. Typically a problem joint receives 3-6 small acu-injections around the joint area, twice a week for several weeks.

Periarticular acu-injections are effective for most minor, medium and large joints such as shoulders, hips, elbows, knees, toes, fingers and TMJ. It is very important to finish the series because of the synergistic effect of the treatment, much the same as antibiotics, where even if the symptoms subside it is critical that the patient finish the entire series in order to realize fully the benefits of the treatment and minimize relapse of the inflammation cycle. Because the acu-injections are periarticular and not intra-articular (Deep inside the joint) the needle is only injected to a depth of less than a ¼ inch. This combined with the fact the needle size used is not much larger than a human hair (About 10 times smaller than most needles and often referred to as acu-injections) the discomfort level is minimal but the effectiveness of the treatment is phenomenal at stopping the pain and inflammation cycle.

Dr. Eskander (M.D.) Asks some important questions of interest to Norcross residents - Chiropractor Norcross Dr. Eskander (M.D.) Asks...

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Norcross chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
