Neural Therapy - A Simple Injection Treatment for Pain Relief and Reduction of Scars and Energy Blockages.
I have been doing neural therapy as segmental therapy for over 20 years. Neural therapy is used to help reduce muscle, nerve and joint pain and stimulate repair to the area. I have successfully used neural therapy to treat chronic pain from accidents, arthritis, bursitis, soft tissue injury or over-use injury.
The procedure involves subcutaneous injections of combinations of homeopathics, vitamins and sometimes local anesthetics. Subcutaneous means just under the skin, so the injection is not very deep. The smallest needle made, a 30 gauge, is used for the treatment. The number of drop sized injections administered depends on the size and location of the complaint. It could be up to a couple of dozen tiny injections.
Neural therapy is also used to treat scars. Injecting scars helps to:
- soften and lighten tough scar tissue, which will take tension out of surrounding tissues. Although cosmetically, injecting the scar can make very positive changes, treatment is mainly done to improve energy flow.
- separate adhesions from the surface of the scar allowing the body to reabsorb the scar tissue. Separating adhesions can be very helpful in removing constriction from scar tissue on bowels, ovaries, uterus, muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Patients often report an improvement in bowel function or a reduction of PMS symptoms, or a freeing of a constricted area after scar treatment.
Sometimes one treatment is sufficient to complete the job. Sometimes repeat injections are required. Treatment cost is based on the medication used and at the time of this writing averages around $50.00. I often combine neural therapy with another physical therapy modality like ultrasound or Scenar therapy.
