Neural Therapy


The concept of Neural Therapy was first proposed in 1940's by the Huneke brothers namely Ferdinand and Walter Huneke, who were the citizens of Germany. Earlier called as Heilanasthesie or Segmenttherapie (segmental therapy), Neural Therapy was mainly developed to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of pain and illness, from migraine to acute bowel syndrome. In short it is the system to identify and cure those diseases which are difficult to treat or resistant to treatment. Its success is based on anesthetic injections to clear electro physiological instability causing problem every where in the body.

According to the neural therapy, trauma can cause acute problems in the electrochemical functions of tissues. The various type of tissues affected by trauma includes scars, nerves or the cluster of nerves called 'ganglions'. For the last seventy years the, Neural Therapy has been used to treat of hundred of medical conditions. It is especially beneficial for those who have failed to respond to acupuncture, chiropractic or physical therapy. Neural therapy is also recommended when surgery or nerve block treatment fails.

Neural therapy has been ranked as the 'alternative system of medicine'. It is commonly used in the German speaking countries as well as the Spanish speaking world, but the physicians in the western countries and United States are still unfamiliar with Neural Therapy.

The practitioners of the neural therapy begin their treatment by inquiring about the current problem and about the past illness and injuries. They try to detect the every possible reason that could the energy flow disturbance in the body. Than they inject lidocaine and procaine at key points that are actually far from the pain source. According to the studies conducted in these injections are meant to get rid of interference and restore the body's natural energy flow. The injections are injected into the scars, glands, nerves, acupuncture points and trigger points.
