Treatment
What is Neuro Prolotherapy
A simple outpatient procedure
Neuro Prolotherapy (NPT) was pioneered by Dr. John Lyftogt (New Zealand) in the 1990s and is an advanced form of Prolotherapy (Where glucose injections are used to treat painful conditions) as taught by the Hemwall-Hackett institute in Wisconsin since 1956. In NPT, a fine half inch needle is used to inject a solution of glucose just under the skin, thereby reversing the inflammation.
All pain, both acute and chronic, recent or longstanding is caused by nerve inflammation, and Neuro Prolotherapy (NPT) acts directly on the peripheral nervous system to treat it. Depending on the individual case, treatment can take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. Treatment is very safe and the only possible side effect is the extremely minor risk of infection that would apply to any injection and no such case has been reported with NPT.
Treatment Fee
Prices start at €120 per treatment. Average treatment takes around 20 - 30 minutes. You can expect to be pain-free immediately after the first treatment and this usually lasts at least a few days. It is recommended to repeat the treatment over the course of several weeks as necessary. Please call 087 0508 753 to book an appointment.

What is Perineural Injection Treatment (PIT)?
A simple outpatient procedure
Perineural Injection Treatment (PIT) was pioneered by Dr. John Lyftogt (New Zealand) in the 1990s, building on work first taught by the Hemwall-Hackett Institute in the University of Wisconsin since 1956.
PIT uses very fine, half-inch needles to inject a solution of glucose just beneath the skin. This targets irritated or inflamed nerves directly, helping to reduce inflammation and restore normal nerve function.
Both acute and chronic pain—whether recent or long-standing—is often caused by nerve inflammation. PIT works by acting directly on the peripheral nervous system to address this inflammation at its source.
Depending on the individual case, treatment typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes. PIT is considered very safe. The only potential side effect is a very small risk of infection, which applies to any injection, and no such cases have been reported with PIT.
Treatment Fee
First treatment: €200
Subsequent treatments: €150
An average treatment lasts around 20 minutes.
Many patients experience pain relief immediately after the first treatment, and this relief often lasts significantly longer than a few days. In some cases, repeat treatments over the course of several weeks may be recommended for optimal results.
