Neural Therapy

Neural Therapy was originally developed in Germany by the Huneke brothers. It involves the injection of Procaine (also known as Novocain), a common local anesthetic, or homeopathic injectables into various but very specific areas. Neural Therapy is based on the theory that trauma can produce long-standing disturbances in the electrochemical function of tissues (called interference fields). Among the types of tissues affected by trauma include scars, nerves or a cluster of nerves called ganglions. A correctly administered Neural Therapy injection can often instantly and lastingly resolve chronic longstanding illness and chronic pain.

What causes interference fields?

1) Infections.

2) Emotional trauma.

3) Physical Trauma from any type of surgery, accidents, deep cuts, biopsies, childbirth, dental procedures, vaccinations, burns, tattoos, etc.

You then may wonder how a scar or infection becomes activated to become an interference field. General stress from illness, malnutrition, emotional stress, food allergies, pregnancy, etc. seems to convert an inactive interference field to one that creates a disturbance.  In scientific jargon, the conversion depends on your allostatic load at the time of the injury.  When a wound converts into an interference field symptoms begin to occur.  Many times we will recognize this.  When asked “when did your symptoms begin?”, we can give a precise moment or incident.

How many Neural Therapy treatments are typically necessary?

Sometimes one treatment in the precise area will resolve the problem. More often, only a partial improvement follows each treatment. Three to six treatments are the average number to achieve lasting resolution of a chronic condition. What Neural Therapy does for many of my patients is to open the door to allow the other healing modalities to finish the job.
