Glucopuncture is a treatment option originating from Europe (Austria) and Asia (South Korea). It is a medical technique which uses regional injections with 5% sugar water such as D5W (or G5W) into dermis, fascia, joints, muscles and ligaments. Pain modulation is mainly achieved by intradermal, fascial and US-guided perineural injections. Biotensegrity regulation is mainly achieved by injecting into the superficial layer of regional fascia. Functional improvement is achieved by giving injections into muscles. Such intramuscular injections can support and accelerate tissue repair, which is an interesting tool when treating sports injuries in professional athletes. Especially injections into superficial fascia are becoming more popular recently because of easy application and interesting clinical outcome. Over the last decades, clinicians worldwide came to see that regional D5W injections are safe, inexpensive and efficient tools to manage musculoskeletal pain and sports injuries. Both patient-guided as well as screen-guided glucopuncture gain popularity worldwide. Clinical research so far was mainly focused on treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome with D5W.
