Neural Therapy is a regulatory and holistic therapy, which acts via the autonomic nervous system, mainly the sympathetic nervous system.
It involves the injections of a local anesthetic, usually procaine, in small amounts and at low concentration, with the goal of neutralizing the irritations that throughout lifetime affect the tone of the autonomic nervous system.
All these conditions leave a trace, a memory, on the nervous system, but as long as the human body´s self-regulatory capacity is enough, it will be able to mend it. The more burdens get accumulated, the more difficult the compensation will be. Until the final event arrives, which can be a viral infection, a surgery, an stressing emotional event, etc. that acts like the last straw that breaks the camel back, showing up that symptom that chronifies. This is just the expression of the blockade of the self-regulatory mechanisms of the human organism.
The main goal of Neural Therapy is to neutralize, through the injections of procaine into various but very specific areas, those irritative factors that are disturbing the autonomic nervous system tone.
Procaine is a local anesthetic, but the goal of Neural Therapy is not to anesthetize but to interrupt the transmission of a pathological information –pain, inflammation…–, and to reactivate the self-regulatory capacity of the human body.
On top of that, procaine has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, muscle relaxation, and cell membrane stabilizing properties and it enhances blood circulation among others.
Anyone can be treated with Neural Therapy, including pregnant women and children, responding the last ones very fast to Neural Therapy. Application possibilities are wide, being the most common consultation problems: acute and chronic pain, acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, functional diseases, repetitive infectious diseases, anxiety and depression, unexplained infertility, etc.
The most important tool in Neural Therapy is Life History. Therefore, during the first part of the session the full medical history will be taken, as well as the current health concern. You will be asked about all infectious, inflammatory, and surgical events, scars, stressing events, physical or emotional trauma, dental procedures, and gynecological history in women. Life History will provide us with the information on WHERE to inject the procaine. After informing the patient about what is Neural Therapy and answering his/her possible doubts and questions, we will proceed with the treatment.
The frequency of NT sessions varies. Generally, the follow-up will take place monthly or every three weeks. We recommend the patient to observe and write down all physical, emotional, and energetic changes that might occur. This information will be crucial for the next NT session.
