Neural Therapy

Neural Therapy was researched and developed by Dr. Ferdinand Huneke, M.D in Germany for the safe and effective treatment of a variety of health conditions and has been widely used in Europe since the 1940’s.

The focus of neural therapy is to regulate the function of the autonomic central nervous system that controls all organ systems. Disturbances affecting the nervous system can create disturbances in all other systems (i.e. hormonal, digestive, immune, etc.). Potential “disturbance fields” or blockages affecting the nervous system include: scars (old and new), injury sites, trigger points, infectious agents and/or points of infection, toxicity and events of emotional distress. Negative disturbance fields create “stress” on the nervous system, compromising its regulation of connected body parts and organs. Disturbance fields can for many years interfere with the normal nervous system regulation in the body. Common examples of this are whiplash injuries and surgeries (i.e. C-section, laparoscopy, appendectomy, spinal surgery, etc.). Nerves require unimpeded ‘flow’ for optimal function to occur. Any compromise in nerve flow can result in dysfunction, pain, disability and chronic disease. By removing these blockages or interference fields affecting the nervous system through the careful application of neural therapy, optimal function and balance is restored in the body.

Using a local anesthetic combined with B-vitamins, and botanical extracts, neural therapy involves micro-injections into and around nerve ganglia, acupuncture points, tissue scarring, muscle trigger points and other tissues to allow for the unimpeded flow of nerves, thereby alleviating pain and restoring healthy nerve innervation to specific organ systems. In utilizing a local anesthetic such as procaine, the intention is not to anaesthetize or numb the nerve, but rather to change the membrane potential temporarily, with the expectation that when the anesthetic wears off, the membrane charges and nerve function will return to normal.

The positive effects of neural therapy can be immediate or delayed. Often one treatment can be enough to alleviate the situation, depending on the goal and condition to be treated. In some cases, several treatments may be required. The more common conditions that benefit from neural therapy include: back and neck pain, posttraumatic conditions, chronic pain from whiplash and head injury, joint pain, muscle pain, and athletic injuries. Jaw and head pain, post-surgical pain (including dental), digestive disturbances, sinusitis, hypothyroid, muscle injuries, organ dysfunctions and scar disturbances also benefit from neural therapy.
