When your joints ache and traditional pain medications just aren’t the answer, there’s hope. You don’t have to choose between suffering and potentially harmful steroid injections. At Orange Sky Podiatry, we offer something different—natural anti-inflammatory injections that work with your body’s healing wisdom, not against it.

Understanding Nature’s Anti-Inflammatory Power
The human body has an incredible ability to heal itself when given the right support. Traumeel and Zeel non steroid injections represent a revolutionary approach to treating joint pain, arthritis, and soft tissue inflammation. These homeopathic remedies combine carefully selected botanical and mineral extracts that have been used for centuries to reduce pain and promote healing.
Unlike synthetic steroids that can suppress your immune system and potentially weaken tissues over time, these natural injections work by regulating your body’s inflammatory response rather than shutting it down completely. Think of it as fine-tuning your body’s healing orchestra instead of silencing the entire symphony.
What Makes Non-Steroid Joint Injections Special
Traumeel contains 14 natural ingredients, including 12 botanical extracts and 2 mineral compounds. The star ingredients include Arnica Montana, known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, along with Calendula and Chamomile, which promote tissue repair and reduce swelling.
Zeel specifically targets arthritic joints by interacting with your immune system to reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Clinical studies show that plant extracts in Zeel actually stimulate your white blood cells to release transforming growth factor β, which helps repair damaged joint tissues.
What sets these treatments apart is their remarkable safety profile. Multiple studies have shown that Traumeel has comparable effectiveness to NSAIDs in reducing inflammation and improving mobility, but with significantly fewer side effects. There’s no limit on the number of treatments you can receive, unlike cortisone injections which must be carefully spaced due to potential tissue damage.

Real Results You Can Feel
Most patients experience noticeable pain relief within 24 to 48 hours of treatment. In clinical trials, patients with moderate-to-severe knee osteoarthritis showed significant improvements in both pain and function after just three weekly injections. One study found that 89.2% of patients treated with Traumeel reported no pain after 8 days, compared to only 63.9% in the placebo group.
But here’s what really matters: these injections don’t just mask pain—they promote actual healing. The anti-inflammatory compounds help reduce swelling while supporting your body’s natural repair processes. This means you’re not just getting temporary relief; you’re giving your tissues the support they need to heal properly.
Conditions That Respond Beautifully
These natural injections are particularly effective for:
• Arthritis pain and stiffness in joints throughout the body
• Sports injuries including sprains, strains, and overuse injuries
• Plantar fasciitis and other foot pain conditions
• Tendinitis and bursitis
• Post-surgical inflammation and healing support
• Chronic joint pain that hasn’t responded well to other treatments
Athletes have been traveling to Europe for decades to receive these treatments, and now they’re readily available right here. Whether you’re dealing with weekend warrior injuries or chronic pain that’s been limiting your daily activities, these injections offer a path forward without the risks associated with repeated steroid use.

A Gentle Approach to Powerful Healing in Altamonte Springs
What I love most about this treatment is how it aligns with your body’s natural healing processes. Instead of suppressing inflammation completely, these injections help balance it—reducing harmful excess while preserving the beneficial aspects your body needs for repair.
The injection process itself is straightforward and comfortable. Most patients receive a series of 2-3 treatments spaced about a week apart, though the exact protocol depends on your specific condition and response. Because these are natural substances, there’s no concern about building tolerance or experiencing the side effects associated with synthetic medications.
