Neural therapy is the injection of local anaesthetics into peripheral nerves, scars, acupuncture points, trigger points and other tissues to relieve pain and dysfunction throughout the body. Neural therapy’s healing effect is believed to work by normalizing the function of the nervous system. It is based on the theory that any trauma, infection, or surgery can produce long-standing disturbances in the electrochemical or electromagnetic function of tissues.
What conditions can Neural Therapy treat?
• Scar disturbances
• Post-surgical pain
• Asthma
• Menstrual pain & irregularity
• Hormone imbalances including thyroid, adrenal & ovarian hormones
What can I expect from a treatment?
After an initial assessment the patient lies on the treatment table while the doctor uses small needles to inject local anaesthetic into the identified areas of dysfunction. The effect of the treatment often produces immediate relief of symptoms. The patient can experience a feeling of euphoria, energy going to the head (‘lightening reaction’), and/or emotional release. All responses are important in the healing process.
One of the beautiful things about neural therapy is that it can go directly to the site of the problem and clear it out, relieving toxic burden that can build up. A typical course of neural therapy treatment is about six sessions.
