Neural Therapy
What is Neural Therapy?
Neural therapy involves injecting local anesthetics, such as procaine into "interference fields" in the body. It operates on the theory that injuries, infections, or scars can create abnormal electrical signals in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) that disrupt the body's natural healing processes and lead to chronic pain or other illnesses. By injecting these interference fields, neural therapy aims to reset the nerve's electrical charge.
Benefits of neural therapy
Practitioners and patients report a variety of benefits from neural therapy, benefits include:
Chronic pain relief: Neural therapy is most commonly used to treat persistent pain, including migraines, back pain, joint pain, fibromyalgia, and pain from old scars. The injections target the root cause of the nerve dysfunction rather than just masking symptoms.
Improved nervous system function: By "resetting" abnormal nerve signals, the therapy is thought to restore balance to the ANS, which regulates automatic bodily processes like circulation, digestion, and hormone production.
Enhanced healing: Normalizing nerve function is believed to increase blood flow and allow for improved cellular metabolism, which can help the body heal from both physical and emotional trauma.
Treatment for systemic conditions: Some practitioners use neural therapy for a wide range of conditions linked to ANS dysfunction, including:
Digestive and organ issues
Allergies and inflammation
Hormonal imbalances
Anxiety and emotional trauma, such as PTSD
