Are you looking for a different treatment for your osteoarthritis knee pain?
What is OA of the knee?
A normal knee glides smoothly because cartilage covers the ends of the bones that form joints. Osteoarthritis (ah-stee-oh-ar-THRY-tis) or OA of the knee damages this cartilage, progressively wearing it away. The ends of the bones become rough like sandpaper. This damaged cartilage can cause the joint to "stick" or lock and your knee may get painful and stiff and lose range of motion[2]. Common risk factors for OA of the knee are genetics, being overweight, joint injury, overuse of the joint, and having other forms of arthritis[3].
Symptoms of OA of the knee
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms of OA of the knee, you should consult your physician and ask them about treatment options:
You are unable to do or enjoy certain activities because of pain or stiffness in your knee
You frequently experience stiffness in your knee after resting or when waking up
Your knee often hurts when you move
Your knee hurts even when you are not active
You hear a crackling sound or have a grating feeling in your knee
A very common disease
More than 10 million Americans suffer from OA of the knee. There is no cure for OA, but its symptoms can be treated effectively with proper physician care, so that patients can continue living active lives[3].
How can combined Traumeel® and Zeel® injection therapy work for you?
Traumeel® and Zeel® Injection Solutions are homeopathic prescription drugs indicated for the treatment of inflammatory and degenerative conditions of the musculoskeletal system, such as arthrosis / osteoarthritis and/or rheumatic joint diseases, and for the relief of symptoms including pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. They contain highly diluted ingredients that reduce pain and inflammation.[4] The exact mechanism of action of combined Traumeel® and Zeel® Injection Solutions is not yet fully understood.
Why may Traumeel® and Zeel® injections be right for you?
Intra-articular Traumeel® and Zeel® injections are beneficial for patients who experience moderate to severe pain related to osteoarthritis of the knee, especially those who:
Are suffering from diabetes, heart disease, and other risk factors that complicate treatment with standard medications
Are unable/unwilling to tolerate corticosteroids
Need additional treatment between steroid cycles or after receiving viscosupplementation/hyaluronic acid injection
Have reached maximum covered/allowable steroid injections (usually 3 injections per joint and year)
Are unable or unwilling to tolerate conventional pain medications
Are out of standard options
How is this therapy given?
In your doctor's office, using a standard procedure, Traumeel® and Zeel® Injections Solutions are injected into your knee once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. Your doctor may recommend a local anesthetic to reduce the possible discomfort associated with the injection.
Are you a candidate for this therapy?
Combined Traumeel® and Zeel® knee injections could be right for you if:
Your knee pain is due to OA
You are not getting adequate OA knee pain relief from walking and/or physical therapy
You are not getting adequate OA knee pain relief from pain medications
You cannot or do not want to tolerate steroid injections or any of the treatments mentioned above
If you meet any of these criteria, ask your doctor about Traumeel® and Zeel® injection therapy!

Are allergic to any of the ingredients in Traumeel® or Zeel® Injection Solution

How safe is treatment with Traumeel® and Zeel® Injection Solutions?

Traumeel® and Zeel® Injection Solutions are not known to cause any drug-to-drug interactions and reports of adverse events to the FDA are at an exceptionally low level. The following adverse events have been identified during post-marketing use.

Adverse event rates observed in monotherapy use of Traumeel® Injection Solution: Allergic (hypersensitivity) reactions (e.g., skin allergies, redness/swelling at the injection site. Anaphylaxis may occur in isolated cases[4]. Adverse event rates observed in the monotherapy use of Zeel® Injection Solution: Allergic (hypersensitivity) skin reactions may occur in isolated cases[4].

Traumeel And Zeel Injections For Pain: A Wise Substitution For Steroid Injections
We are glad to offer acupuncture injection therapy1 using Traumeel, Zeel and other homeopathic botanicals to our patients in St. Augustine.
Developed by a German physician in the 1930s, Traumeel is a homeopathic remedy with antiinflammatory and analgesic properties. Officially classified as a combination drug, traumeel injection solutions consists of 14 natural ingredients 12 of which are of botanical nature2, one a mineral3 and one of animal substance 4.
A wide range of musculoeskeletal conditions can be treated with traumeel injections including degenerative conditions, chronic muscle and joint pain, acute sports injuries or trauma from accidents. Traumeel injections are usually our first choice in treating pain that does not respond to body therapies like massage, chiropractic, or is responding too slow to acupuncture. It is totally safe and a reliable alternative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and to cortisone injections without the side effects. And, an added benefit of using homeopathic solutions such as Traumeel, Zeel and other botanicals, is that they can be administered as many times as needed without damage to the local tissue. This injection solution is safe for children with chronic pain or suffer with inflammation.
ZEEL INJECTIONS FOR ARTHRITIS PAIN
Zeel combination stimulates natural anti-inflammatory and pain relief processes for arthritis by inhibiting the stiffening attacks of leukocyte-elastase on articular cartilage. Zeel ingredients include a specially-formulated combination of mountain arnica, bittersweet, poison oak, blood root, comfrey, sulfur, thioctic acid, coenzyme A, Nadidum, sodium oxalacetate, and biologically-derived, cellular porcine extract.5

您是否正在寻找不同的治疗方法来治疗骨关节炎膝盖疼痛？
什么是膝关节骨关节炎？
正常的膝盖滑动顺畅，因为软骨覆盖了形成关节的骨头的末端。膝关节骨关节炎 (ah-stee-oh-ar-THRY-tis) 或 OA 会损害该软骨，使其逐渐磨损。骨头的末端变得像砂纸一样粗糙。这种受损的软骨会导致关节“粘住”或锁定，您的膝盖可能会变得疼痛、僵硬并失去活动范围[2]。膝关节骨关节炎的常见危险因素是遗传、超重、关节损伤、过度使用关节以及患有其他形式的关节炎[3]。
膝关节骨关节炎的症状
如果您出现以下任何膝盖骨关节炎症状，您应该咨询您的医生并向他们询问治疗方案：
由于膝盖疼痛或僵硬，您无法进行或享受某些活动
您在休息后或醒来时经常感到膝盖僵硬
当你移动时，你的膝盖经常会痛
即使您不活动，膝盖也会疼痛
您听到噼啪声或膝盖有刺痛感
一种非常常见的疾病：超过 1000 万美国人患有膝骨关节炎。骨关节炎无法治愈，但通过适当的医生护理可以有效治疗其症状，使患者能够继续积极的生活[3]。
Traumeel® 和 Zeel® 联合注射疗法如何为您发挥作用？

您是这种疗法的候选人吗？
