What is neural therapy?<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Neural Therapy is an injection treatment that works to undo trauma that produce long-standing disturbances in the electrochemical function of tissues called interference fields. The types of tissues affected by trauma include\u00a0scars,\u00a0nerves\u00a0or a cluster of nerves called\u00a0ganglion.<\/p>\n

An interference field in one part of the body can cause pain in another<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Interference fields can be found almost anywhere in the body. Often, they are far from the part of the body where you feel symptoms. For example, an old appendix scar might cause migraine headache, or a wisdom tooth extraction scar might cause chronic low-back pain. Because these relationships are totally unpredictable, doctors need to search for interference fields everywhere in the body.<\/p>\n

1. The doctor looks for an injury, operation or illness that happened before the health problem began. The traditional way of finding interference fields is for the physician to take a careful history of the patient\u2019s problem, looking for an injury, operation or illness in the months before symptoms began. Presumably, part of the body\u2019s response to the injury or illness was a local \u201calarm reaction\u201d involving the autonomic nervous system.<\/p>\n

The autonomic nervous system controls circulation to each part of the body. When an emergency arises, such as an injury or surgery, the autonomic nervous system changes circulation to the affected body part. Interference fields seem to develop when the autonomic nervous system control does not return to normal after the emergency.<\/p>\n

2. The doctor touches possible trouble spots while testing the patient\u2019s muscle strength. Another way of finding interference fields is by making use of the body\u2019s electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field depends on the generation of electricity by healthy tissue. If tissue is not receiving adequate circulation, as in an interference field, it will be less vigorous and not have as strong an electromagnetic field over it.<\/p>\n

The autonomic nervous system regulates the body\u2019s automatic functions. It helps control, for example, heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, bowel movements, urination, sexual function, menstruation, perspiration and skin temperature. Any symptom related to these functions, such as palpitations (rapid heartbeat), indigestion, constipation or even cold hands may be partly or totally caused by an interference field.<\/p>\n

Chronic pain\u2014especially migraine\u2014often has symptoms caused by the autonomic nervous system, such as nausea or sweating. An interference field may also be involved if\u00a0sciatica<\/a>\u00a0or any other leg pain is accompanied by coldness or change in skin colour.<\/p>\n

If a physician finds an interference field, he or she can easily treat it by injecting it with a local anesthetic (pain killer). Local anesthetics have an interesting property apart from their ability to \u201cfreeze things\u201d\u2014they also can restore abnormal electric potentials or regulate unstable electrical membranes in living tissue. In fact, conventional medicine often uses local anesthetics for this purpose in treating certain heart problems.<\/p>\n

In recent years a non-injection therapy has been developed which seems to work as well as the caine anesthetics. A proprietary electrical device, called a Tenscam\u00ae is held approximately 18 inches from the body and directed at the interference field for a minute or two.<\/p>\n

The effect of injecting interference fields is immediate. There is sometimes sudden relief of symptoms, a \u201clightning reaction\u201d, but any response typically will be within the first few days.<\/p>\n

More often than not, response to treatment of an interference field is temporary, sometimes lasting even less than a day. However, even a very short response is encouraging and indicates that treatment should be attempted again. Each time an interference field is treated, there should be a longer response. Treatment is then repeated until it is no longer required.<\/p>\n

Interference fields have lower electrical potentials than surrounding tissues. Currents flow from areas of higher voltage to areas of lower voltage and seem to send confusing signals to the body\u2019s nervous system. The body sometimes reacts in inappropriate ways, resulting in chronic pain and\/or illness.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How safe is neural therapy?” tab_id=”1530209737095-dd1db840-9b8a”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Neural therapy is a remarkably safe medical treatment. The most commonly used anesthetics (procaine and lidocaine) rarely cause allergic reactions. Allergic reactions to these anesthetics in the past seem to have been caused by preservatives such as methylparaben. These preservatives are no longer used by most physicians practicing neural therapy.<\/p>\n

Occasionally, patients will feel faint for a few minutes after neural therapy injections. This may be caused by \u201cneedle fright\u201d or by a short-lasting lowering of the blood pressure caused by the local anesthetic itself.<\/p>\n

Puncture of an internal organ is a theoretical possibility with certain injections. Because the needles used are of small caliber, this is rarely (if ever) of any consequence. The one exception is the lung which, if punctured, may collapse. For this reason, special care must be taken with any deep injection into the chest wall or near the lungs.<\/p>\n

Another area of injection that carries a slight risk is the head and neck. Injection of a large volume of anesthetic into an artery could bring on a seizure. To avoid this, injections in the head and neck are always performed slowly, drawing back on the syringe from time to time to make sure the needle has not penetrated an artery.<\/p>\n
