Neural Therapy: Treatment that Restarts the Body's Healing System
The stress of modern life, illnesses, surgical operations or traumas can cause disturbances in the nervous system of our body (vegetative nervous system) that we are not aware of. Neural therapy, is a scientifically based regulation therapy that detects these disturbances and re-activates the body's self-healing mechanisms. This method treats the body as a whole and aims to treat the source of the problem, not the symptoms.
What is Neural Therapy?
Neural therapy is an injection therapy based on the principle of regulation of the autonomic nervous system. In the treatment, very low concentrations (%0.5 or %1) and a short-acting local anesthetic Procaine (or Lidocaine) is used. The aim is not anesthesia (numbing); the aim is to take advantage of the bioelectrical regulating effect of these substances on the nervous system.
Every cell in our body has an electrical potential. In a damaged or traumatized tissue, this potential is disrupted. Neural therapy sends a “normalization” signal to the nervous system by correcting this disturbed electrical potential in the area where it is applied.
In Which Diseases is Neural Therapy Used?
The mechanism of action of neural therapy makes it an effective treatment option for a wide range of health problems:
- Pain Management: Migraine, headaches, fibromyalgia, lumbar and cervical hernias, joint pain and neuralgia.
- Disruptive Field Detection: In the treatment of surgical scars (scar tissues), dental foci or areas of previous infection.
- Chronic Diseases: Hormonal disorders, thyroid problems, menstrual irregularities and chronic fatigue syndrome.
- Circulatory Disorders: It provides better oxygenation of tissues by regulating blood circulation.
Interference Field (Parasitic Field) Concept
One of the cornerstones of neural therapy “interference field” (interference field) concept. Old scars (scar tissue), surgical sites, foci of chronic infection or traumatized areas in the body can create a constant interference signal in the autonomic nervous system. These interference fields can be located elsewhere in the body, in areas that appear to be unrelated to them. chronic pain, can cause migraines or circulatory disorders.
Neural therapy solves the bio-electrical problem by injections into these interfering areas. Once this “short circuit” is fixed, the pressure on the autonomic nervous system is released and a body-wide healing begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, neural therapy injections absolutely no cortisone. The fluid used for treatment is diluted to a very low concentration (such as %0.5 or %1) local anesthetic substances (mostly Procain or Lidocaine). The aim is not to "numb" the patient's pain, but to use the effect of these local anesthetics to regulate the bio-electrical potential (healing signal) in the cell wall.
The needles used in treatment are similar to insulin needles with a very fine tip. Most injections are given under the skin (superficially). The pain felt during the procedure is usually no more than a "mosquito bite" or a very mild burning sensation and disappears within seconds. The procedure is very well tolerated by patients.
It is one of the basic concepts of neural therapy. A "disruptive field" is a scar from a previous surgery (caesarean section, appendicitis, etc.), scars, a focus of chronic inflammation (such as a decayed tooth root, chronic sinusitis) or an old trauma site that creates a constant "interference" or "short circuit" signal in the autonomic nervous system.
This interference field can be the cause of treatment-resistant pain or problems in an area far away from the source (for example, a caesarean scar causing chronic migraines). Neural therapy corrects this "short circuit" so that the problem can be solved at its source.
When neural therapy is applied with the right technique by specialists trained in this field extremely safe is a method.
The local anesthetic used (especially Procain) is rapidly broken down in the body and does not create a systemic burden.
The risk of allergic reaction is very low (less than one in a thousand).
The most common effect is a temporary, mild redness or minor bruising at the injection site.
Proven allergy to the local anesthetic used (Procain/Lidocain),
Patients with Myasthenia Gravis (severe muscle weakness),
People with active blood clotting problems or in cases where high doses of blood thinners are used (with caution),
It is not recommended for people with severe heart failure or heart rhythm disorders.
The number of sessions depends entirely on the level of the person's chronic condition and the body's response to the treatment. Usually the treatment is applied 1 or 2 times a week. The total number of sessions can vary between 3-5 sessions and 10-15 sessions.
Impact sometimes "lightning phenomenon" (Blitzphänomen) When the right interference field is found, it can be seen with an immediate and dramatic improvement. In other cases, the improvement increases cumulatively as the sessions progress.
