Nerve-related pain can be difficult to manage, especially when conventional treatments only offer temporary relief or come with unwanted side effects.
For those seeking a more natural solution, regenerative injections such as Sarapin and Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT) offer targeted approaches to help calm inflamed nerves and support long-term recovery.
In this blog, you will learn:
- What causes nerve pain
- How Sarapin and PIT work together to calm inflamed nerves
- What to expect during treatment
- How natural injection therapy supports pain management without drugs or steroids
Key Takeaway
Sarapin provides a natural approach to pain relief by calming inflammation, blocking pain signals, and supporting the body’s recovery, without relying on nerve-blocking drugs or medications that may cause adverse events or allergic reactions.
What Does Nerve Pain Feel Like?
Nerve pain (also called neuropathic pain) often feels sharp, burning, or electric. It may shoot down a limb, radiate from the spinal column, or cause numbness and tingling. Common conditions include:
- Sciatica and sciatic pain
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Post-injury nerve irritation
- Pain after surgery
- Occipital neuralgia and occipital neuritis
- Chronic headaches linked to nerve inflammation
When nerves become compressed, inflamed, or damaged, they send out distorted pain signals that the brain interprets as pain, even when the original injury has healed. Restoring healthy nerve function is a key part of long-term relief from pain.
How Sarapin Relieves Nerve Pain
Sarapin is a natural substance derived from pitcher plants, a family of carnivorous plants known for producing secondary metabolites with biomedical applications.
The pitcher plant extract works by blocking the transmission of pain signals along sensory nerves, without affecting motor functions or causing sedation.
Benefits include:
- Non-toxic and safe for the liver and kidneys based on toxicity tests
- No steroid side effects like tissue breakdown or immune suppression
- Useful for trigger points, joint pain, and nerve inflammation
It may be used alone or in combination with other regenerative therapies, such as trigger point injections, to relieve musculoskeletal pain and orthopedic conditions like neck pain, hip pain, and knee pain.
What Is Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT)?
Perineural Injection Therapy is a natural treatment for chronic pain caused by inflammation and irritation of small, superficial nerves under the skin (peptidergic sensory nerves).
A buffered dextrose solution is injected near these nerves to calm inflammation and support nerve healing.
Benefits of PIT:
- Reduces pain and tingling within minutes or hours
- Improves mobility and nerve function
- Addresses the root cause of pain syndromes such as lumbar neuralgia and meralgia paresthetica
- No downtime or reliance on nerve-blocking drugs or prescription medications
How Sarapin and PIT Work Together
Both Sarapin and PIT target different types of nerve pain in complementary ways:
- PIT calms irritated superficial nerves often affected in repetitive strain injuries or tight muscles
- Sarapin works deeper, targeting pain signals at the spinal column or nerve root level
Sarapin may also be integrated with all-natural therapies such as:
- Prolotherapy
- Prolozone
- PRP (platelet-rich plasma)
- Hyaluronic acid injections

This multi-therapy model addresses deep tissue therapy needs and helps with chronic conditions while reducing the need for drugs.
What To Expect During Treatment
Treatment begins with an evaluation of symptoms, personal circumstances, and the type of nerve involved. Then:
- Injection sites are mapped and prepared based on affected muscle tissue or nerve location.
- Sarapin or PIT (or both) are administered with a fine needle.
- Some patients may feel mild pressure, warmth, or a temporary feeling of heaviness.
- Most people resume regular activities immediately.
Relief is possible after a single session, however, multiple treatments may provide the best outcomes, depending on the severity and complexity of the condition.

FAQs About Sarapin
Sarapin injections can provide relief for weeks after a single session. The duration of effectiveness may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual response. A series of treatments may be recommended for longer-lasting results.
Sarapin is commonly referred to as a pitcher plant extract. It is derived from plants in the Sarraceniaceae family, which are known for their unique biological properties.
Yes. Sarapin has anti-inflammatory effects, particularly on sensory nerves. It helps reduce inflammation and block pain signals without affecting motor functions or causing systemic side effects.
