Neural therapy and trigger-point injection with antihomotoxic remedies use small volumes of Traumeel and Spascupreel injected at myofascial trigger points, segmental sites and interference fields to modulate local regulation and muscular tension. It is a practitioner-administered biopuncture technique built on segmental and myofascial reasoning.
This article outlines the rationale, remedy roles, point selection and sequencing, administration and cautions for integrating these remedies into neural-therapy and trigger-point practice.
The short version: Small-volume Traumeel and Spascupreel at trigger points and segmental sites are used to modulate myofascial tension and local regulation within a neural-therapy framework.
Rationale: segmental and myofascial regulation
Neural therapy conceptualises pain and dysfunction partly through disturbed autonomic regulation and interference fields, while trigger-point work targets taut myofascial bands and their referral patterns. Injecting antihomotoxic remedies at these sites is intended to combine the mechanical effect of needling with the regulating action of the preparation.
Traumeel addresses the inflammatory-repair theme, while Spascupreel targets the spasmodic, cramping component that frequently accompanies chronically tense musculature.
The remedies and their roles
Both are practitioner-administered injectables suited to small-volume, multi-point technique.
- Traumeel ampoules are the general-purpose choice for reactive, tender and post-strain points and for segmental wheal technique.
- Spascupreel is directed at points associated with muscular spasm, cramping and visceral-tension patterns.
Point selection and sequencing
Map active trigger points, segmental levels relating to the symptomatic region, and any relevant scars or interference fields. A session typically distributes small aliquots across the priority points, favouring reproduction of the referral pattern as a confirmation of point relevance.
Courses are commonly delivered at weekly-to-fortnightly intervals, tapering with response, per manufacturer guidance and individual assessment. Reassess referral patterns and range at each visit to refine the point map.
Administration and practical notes
Technique ranges from superficial intracutaneous wheals (quaddeln) over segmental zones to deeper intramuscular trigger-point injection with fine-gauge needles. Small volumes per point are the norm; total volume and point count follow manufacturer directions and clinical judgement.
Maintain aseptic technique, aspirate before deeper injection, and remain oriented to neurovascular structures. Warn patients about transient soreness and the possibility of a brief post-treatment flare.
Combining and cautions
These remedies combine readily with manual release, dry needling and postural rehabilitation. Avoid injection through infected or broken skin, take care in anticoagulated patients, and screen for radicular, visceral or systemic causes of pain before attributing symptoms to myofascial or interference-field origin. Any injection near the thorax demands strict attention to depth and landmarks.

Practitioner FAQs
What distinguishes neural therapy from simple trigger-point injection here?
Neural therapy adds segmental and interference-field reasoning (including scars and autonomic zones), whereas trigger-point injection targets discrete taut bands and their referral; the remedies can serve both frameworks.
How do I choose between Traumeel and Spascupreel at a point?
Favour Traumeel for reactive, tender, post-strain points, and Spascupreel where the dominant feature is muscular spasm, cramping or a visceral-tension pattern; they may be used at different points in the same session.
What volume is appropriate per point?
Small aliquots per point are standard; exact volume and total point count follow manufacturer guidance and individual assessment rather than a fixed formula.
