Neural therapy is an injection treatment implemented to stimulate healing geared towards alleviating autonomic nervous system dysfunction and pain. The injection therapy is practiced by a well-trained physician and has been identified as a good complimentary procedure to Prolotherapy, a treatment that helps stimulate the healing of joints, ligaments and tendons.

Neural therapy is a form of holistic medicine for treating illness and chronic pain by injecting specified interference fields at specific sites of the body that are responsible for a type of electric energy that can cause illness or pain. These interference fields can be treated by Neural therapy injections allowing the body to heal from illness and pain.

Neural refers to nerves. When a nerve is impeded, the regulation of its connected body parts is compromised. This can result in poor function, pain, disease, and disability. The purpose of neural therapy is to unblock the interference to normal functioning by using injections into the specific areas of disturbance. The injections often contain homeopathic medicines, local anesthetic (procaine), 5% dextrose or vitamins such as B12. The sites of injection are determined by the history of trauma, location of symptoms, and connected dysfunctional areas.

Any stress on the body, whether physical, psychological or toxic, will activate the nervous system and create what is referred to as “a fight or flight response”. This could be the result of a car accident, surgery, emotional distress, fear, toxic exposure or any threat or perceived threat to life or person. In an ideal healing response, once the stress is removed, the nervous system should reset itself. Unfortunately, for many people the modern stresses are so great and continuous, there may be no chance for the body to return itself to normal and heal as a result. A local area then becomes locked into a constant fight or flight state and can for many years interfere with the normal nervous system regulation in the body. A very common example of this is a motor vehicle accident with whiplash injury.

Scar Treatment with Neural Therapy:

Scar tissue is a common cause of disturbed communication between cells and organs. Any scar whether a small one from a childhood fall, from dental surgery or a major post-surgical scar will prevent with surrounding tissue from being able to communicate properly. A scar has an electric charge about 5x that of normal skin and can disrupt nerve flow. Scars that cross acupuncture meridian channels can block energy to those related organs and body parts.

A scar will hold injured or cut fascia, muscles and skin together, but it is not as flexible as the original tissue, so the underlying tissues cannot move as freely. The treatment of scars with neural therapy, even decades old ones, has consistently been an important factor in increasing mobility, reducing pain and improving movement and function.
